Each country should look after its own dependents. delinquents. and even its own radicals and lawbreakers. I do not quite appreciate why our country should be made the alien base for the overthrow of our capitalistic form of government or of the socalled " butcher governments " of other countries. as was argued before this committee 1 week ago yesterday. It seems to me that we might well rid ourselves of many. of these foreign fights that are transplanted here. if we would deport a few more of the foreign radicals staging here their foreign political. social. and other raucuses and let some of them get what perhaps they ought to have coming to them. instead of permitting them to continue here their " subversive political agitation and conduct." And where a country refuses to cooperate and to facilitate the deportation of its radicals. as Russia is doing. that country could be promptly brought to taw by refusing consular visas to that countrys nationals. And at the same time we might well set up in the United States the scientific control. identification. and registration of aliens that every country of consequence has. and the laws ofwhich even require employers to employ only aliens who have Government permits to work.
