My amendment leaves that part in. but strikes out the other language which seems to me to be clearly objectionable. Under the provisions of that paragraph. Einstein could be deported for teaching the theory of relativity. because it had not been previously thought of in this country. He could be deported on the ground he was spreading propaganda in this country that was directed from a foreign source. If Pasteur had come to this country years ago and disseminated information along certain medical lines. he could have been deported for no other reason than the fact he was teaching something along scientific lines that Americans had not previously thought of. The language should not be in this bill. and I submit to the good judgment of the House that it should be stricken out.
