Speech #740240768

I will answer the gentleman if he will be patient for a moment. Section 2 states: The Secretary of Labor is hereby authorized and directed to institute deportation proceedings against any alien in the United States who while in the United States engages in the promotion or dissemination of propaganda instigated from foreign sources or who while in the United States engages in unlawful political activities instigated from foreign sources. Under section 3 (a) we give you a definition of what that actually means for the purposes of this act: SEc. 3. (a) The words "propaganda instigated from foreign sources" when used in this act shall only meanAny systematic effort. which is directed or supported from known sources outside the territory and jurisdiction of the United StatesIn other words. this man to whom the gentleman refers can come and teach and talk. and no one is going to deprive .him of free speech or free press. but when we can show that he represents an invisible or foreign government which seeks by its own act to enter this country for the purpose of spreading from foreign headquarters unrest in our labor movement or in any other domestic movement. whether it is fascism. naziism. or any other "ism". I say to you we ought to say that we have the right to tell them to go back home.
