Speaker. there are two bills before the House. One is known as the Dies bill and the other is known as the Starnes bill. Both of these gentlemen are very distinguished Democrats and both of them are keen students of this question of immigration. However. their bills differ very materially. If you will pardon a personal allusion. I have tried to formulate in my studies of the question. with the help of some of the best students on immigration in the United States. a program which would bring together the finest provisions contained in both of these bills. Let us take the Dies bill first and refer to the first section of the Dies bill. Down to line 10 the Dies bill and Starnes bill are exactly alike. Permit me to read the first three or four words in the first provision of the Dies bill. Here Is what it says. after providing who shall be deported. It says: Has been convicted in the United States within 5 years of the institution of deportation proceedings against him. It does not provide anything with reference to those who have already been convicted. those fellows who are already here. That should be corrected.
