I think he will find an answer to his inquiry. Mr. Speaker. for more than 16 years Congress has sought a solution for the economic and social problems of our country which are the direct outgrowth of inadequate legislation dealing with immigration. In the past 3 years there have been several attempts to correct some of the evils which are daily growing more apparent. On June 10. 1937. this body. by voice vote. passed H. R. 6391. the Dies bill. for the deportation of criminal aliens. This bill never came to a vote in the Senate. but it helped to focus the attention of the people on our alien problem. This bill also drew the fire of some of the alien groups in our country. and by the fall of 1937 there had been set up in New York City an organization known as the American Committee for Protection of ForeignBorn. with headquarters at 100 Fifth Avenue.
