Michael Quill. and Merwyn Rathbourne. It cannot be stressed too often that the enforcement of existing laws is absolutely essential if we are to check these undemocratic minorities in our midst. We must enforce our laws dealing with immigration. deportation. incometax evasion. registration of foreign agents. passport requirements. and so forth. I recognize the fact that many people in this country have been deceived by the insidious wiles of foreign influence. There were some sincere liberals in the United States who were deceived by the pretensions of the Communist Party that it was a democratic organization. On the other hand. there were some socalled patriots who. on account of racial and religious prejudice. joined organizations that were used by foreign governments for their own purpose and benefit in the United States. There is no longer any excuse for these misguided people to continue their affiliation with organizations which our committee has exposed as agents of foreign countries. It is true that we can supplement existing laws by making more stringent our deportation and immigration requirements and by requiring registration and full publicity of Fascist. Communist. and Nazi organizations in this country. I hope and believe that our committee can offer legislation along these lines at an early date.
