There was some discussion of this subject during the time the committee was addressed by the distinguished gentleman from Alabama . In my opinion. this bill does not of itself provide that a person must be deported because he is a Communist. It was stated by the gentleman from Utah on the floor a few minutes ago that an alien may come from Russia. that at the time he lived in Russia he may have been a member of the Communist Party. that he comes to America. and then. ipso facto. he would be deported because of his former affiliation with the Communist Party. The bill does not say that. To be subject to deportation under this bill he must have been a member of a party or an organization which advocated. not the overthrow of the Russian Government but the overthrow of the Government of the United States. If that were a principle of the Communist Party while he was a member of that party in Russia. and he then and at that time advocated the overthrow of the Government of the United States. that in itself would be enough to deport him if he came over here. and it should be.
