Mr. Speaker. in the morning Post is found this editorial headed "An Arbitrary Proposal." The House heard a great deal of impassioned and excellent oratory in denunciation of the Hobbs bill before approving it by a huge majority vote on Friday. That measure provides for the detention of certain classes of undesirable aliens subject to deportation but unable to obtain passports from the countries whence they came. Only a very small number of persons would be affected by enactment of this billprobably 50 each year. Moreover. the aliens concerned are those who advocate forcible overthrow of the Government and persons who have been convicted of crimes involving moral turpitude. white slavery. or violation of the antinarcotic laws.
