Our Army and Navy have gotten along 150 years without such laws. and we do not need them now. Some of these gag laws introduced seem to make it a felony to criticize the Government or any foreign government. at least it might be so construed. and this would also bring on the gravest of abuses. If a man should come to this country. say from Germany. and complain of the way Hitler had treated him. it would be prison or deportation for him. If some Jew should come here and express an opinion against Hitler. he could be put in jail. If a rebel. a priest. a nun. or any political or religious refugee came from Mexico complaining of that country. it appears from the reading of the statute. that such person could be jailed and fined here for expressing hatred for. and a desire to overthrow. the Mexican Government. Those are the things which appear to be suggested in these bills. If the King of England should come here and advocate a monarchy. we would have to put him out. or in jailor deport him. If Darwin were alive. and came here and attempted to talk about evolutionhe would not have to go to Tennessee. but in New York he could be fixed up right there. If Charles Dickens. the great English author. should be alive and visit. and talk as he did on his visit here. it would be jail or deportation. I have got the laws here. but I am not going to read them for it is too tiresome. I refer to a reading of these lawswe have plenty of laws.
