Mr. Chairman. there has been quite some discussion in the public press concerning the proceedings which our Department of Labor saw fit to institute for the deportation of an alleged English Communist. Evelyn John Strachey. Public opinion is divided on this question. and quite a bit of printers ink has flown through the newspapers both praising and blaming our Commissioner General of Immigration. People seem to forget that we have definite statutes on our books barring from this country any person who is " a member of or affiliated with any organization. association. or group that believes in. advocates. or teaches" forcible overthrow of the Government. Communists are such a group.
