I rise in support of the amendment offered by the gentleman from Iowa. I think it is a step in the right direction. for it is my belief that even an alien is entitled to justice tempered with mercy in this great land of ours. Should a young man at some time. through force of economic conditions. be misled to join an . organization which he finds later advocates principles which are unAmerican. principles which he does not approve and did not know of at the time of joining. and when he discovers them and resigns from the organization. should he be penalized by the proposed provision of the law and be deported? Surely such harsh and unfair action on the part of the great Government of the United States would in itself be thoroughly unAmerican and contrary to all established ideas of American justice and fairness. Just a short time ago we all read of the appointment of a man to one of the highest positions in our Government.
