Of course. Mr. President. officers seeking convictions will. in their zeal. undertake to obtain deportation of an alien who cannot otherwise be conv.cted. by getting him to make an admission in writing that he has been guiltyof what? Of what the bill purports to call espionagenot espionage as defined in the act of June 1. 1917. which was our socalled espionage act. not sabotage. which is not defined at all as a matter of Fcderal statute. Consequently. the bill is open to the objection that it should define an offense within the terms of already existing statutes of the United States. If we turn to subsection 2 of the bill we find that it provides that an alen may be deported at any time after entry. He may be brought to the United States when he is a month old. or 6 months old. He may be convicted when he is 55 years of age.
