Chairman. as a general thing when a Member comes into the well of the House and speaks about the responsibility of Congress it is a fine bit of fancy phraseology that. we do not often take seriously. There has. however. been reposed upon the Seventyfourth Congress not an abstract responsibility but a very personal responsibility by a resolution that was passed last year. On the 23d day of August 1935 the Seventyfourth Congress passed Resolution No. 350. staying the deportation of 2.862 individuals until the 1st of March 1936. Substantially. in 20 days. unless this Congress makes up its mind what it intends to do. not even the President of the United States can stop the sending of 2.862 people out of this country. When they are sent away they will leave 6.389 near relatives.
