Speech #740105778

This unprecedented peacetime appropriation carried no allocation of the money for specific purposes. no limitations of any kind. and is a direct violation of the meaning and intent of the Constitution. Senator CouzENs said that the man or men responsible for the original bill to turn the control of the purse strings over to the President should be hanged. That is a little harsh. even for "new dealers ". but I would suggest that if they do not like our free institutions and constitutional form of government that they should be deported to Italy. Germany. or Soviet Russia. where they can enjoy an autocratic and dictatorial form of government to their hearts content. And. referring to deportation. I am wholeheartedly in favor of the suggestion of Congressman DiES. of Texas. that all aliens. radicals. Communists. and others who do not like our institutions. our laws. or our country should be deported back home where they can enjoy the lack of freedom of speech and the oppressive laws and miserable wage scales that they have been accustomed to in the past. and. above all. give their jobs to loyal and industrious American citizens now walking the streets. I do not believe. however. that Government appropriations. no matter how large. will seriously affect the result of the next Presidential campaign. although they do unquestionably help in municipal and offyear elections. What the voters must decide in 1936 Is which party will restore confidence and thereby provide permanent employment.
