R. 5839. but the gentleman from Texas not only objected to its consideration but erroneously charged me with the authorship of a bill enacted during the previous Congress upon which he says Emma Goldman was permitted to come back here. I may say to Mr. BLANTON that the evidence submitted to our committee during public hearings clearly indicated that the basis for the permission granted Emma Goldman to reenter the United States for a temporary visit was a provision of the Immigration Act of 1917. long before I was in Congress and long before the present Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization was in office. When I attempted to secure permission to speak on the floor to explain this situation to the gentleman from Texas. on March 4th. he objected to my having the time. On or about the 25th of February last. Mr. BLANTON told this House that he placed a petition on the Speakers table the purpose of which was to discharge the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization from further consideration of his bill. H. R. 2733.
