Then they will be sent back In due course. The gentleman from Nebraska then took the floor and attempted to convey to the Members that I was seeking to deport a few Czechs who came here as experts to teach our American workers how to manufacture shoes. I would like to correct this impression as I do not want the public to think it was my purpose in rising to answer the gentlewoman from Massachusetts to attempt to have these people deported. As a matter of fact. we have been bringing in people as expert labor for many. many years. going back to 1917. The Department of Labor has violated no law in allowing these persons to come to this country to teach our people new industries which are not competitive with American industry.
