Another case. which the impeachment resolution mentions. is the Pritchett case. Who is Pritchett? He has not been in the country as an immigrant. He was here merely on temporary visits. A Canadian does not have to have a visa to enter this country temporarily. Pritchett is president of an international union which has locals on both sides of the border. It is true that in 1937 Pritchett applied for a permanent visa. and information was sent to the consulate in Vancouver. that he had been connected with a radical organization in Canada. and this caused the consul to deny him a permanent visa. But the 1917 act. which is our basic exclusion statute. draws a distinction between visitors and immigrants entering for permanent residence. Consequently. as long as he was maintaining an unrelinquished domicile in Canada. he was entitled to enter on legitimate business. The position taken by the Dies committee. or by some members of that committee. and I still do not know who is really behind the impeachment charges. is that the Secretary of Labor has refused to deport Bridges.
