They did not know the Communist Party from a wheelbarrow. They probably had never heard of it. and yet their own lodge and all its members had been transferred over to the Communist Party. They kept on meeting just the same. doing about the same as they had always done. and it was later discovered that they were members of the Communist Party and subject to deportation on that account. It seems to me cruel to persecute a man who left the country where he was born to escape oppression and hardship and has come to the United States of America. away beyond the sea. where he had been told the door was open and where all those seeking freedom and human liberty were invited to come and live under our form of government. I do not advocate a course of that kind for my country. I think the time has come when we ought to restrict immigration more than ever. However. the original concept was that the United States was the "melting pot of the world." These people heard it. They gained very exaggerated ideas of it and came to America.
