On page 27 we find this language: It being the intent and purpose of this section that membership in any one of the classes of aliens enumerated in section 1 of this act. at any time. of no matter how short duration or how far in the past. irrespective of its termination or of how It may have ceased. shall require deportation. I want the gentleman to put me right if I am wrong in my construction of this language. because I think the gentleman perhaps is more informed upon this subject than I. as he is a member of the committee reporting this bill. My construction of this language is "once a Communist always a Communist." whether or not a man reforms.
