Chairman. that the distinguished lawyer. the gentleman from Iowa [Mr. GWYNNEI will offer an amendment to at least bring the language back within the scope of Christianity. As I am informed. the gentlemans amendment will do this: When a warrant is issued against any alien charging him with communism in the past. he shall have the right to show that in good faith he has renounced his affiliation with that party and has not done so simply to evade deportation. Do you want language to go further than that? Shall we depart from Christian principles and tell a man. even if he has been here for 10 years and has demonstrated his ambition to be an American citizen and a good one. and has demonstrated to his neighbors that he wants to do that. that he cannot do it under the laws of the United States simply because of a mistake of which he repents and asks forgiveness.
