Speech #760113975

Any influence that advocates disobedience in any military or naval establishment is just as vicious and vile and potentially destructive as anything can possibly be. for discipline and obedience to orders of superior officers are the sine qua non of successful functioning in any military organization. The second title is a long title because of the Ramseyer rule. under which we rewrote the whole section of the code which we were amending. Essentially. however. it does only this: It adds four grounds of deportation. first. knowingly and for gain. aiding illegal entry. second. espionage. third. conviction of a State narcotic law violation. and. fourth. unlawful possession of machine guns or similar weapons. Of course. it applies only to aliens. The general law now covers violation of the Federal narcotic law. This provides that violation of a State narcotic law shall also be a ground of deportation. We also have a committee amendment which will be offered later adding a fifth groundviolation of the Marihuana Taxing Act of 1937. I neglected to say that there will also be a committee amendment to title I which will extend the coverage to the Reserve of the Navy and the Reserve of the Marine Corps.
