Even were one to admit that there existed any serious "red menace" before the Attorney General started his "unflinching war" against it. his campaign has been singularly fruitless. Out of the many thousands suspected by the Attorney General (he had already. listed 60.000 by name and history on November 14. 1919. aliens and citizens) what do the figures show of net results? Prior to January 1. 1920. there were actually deported 263 persons. Since January 1 there have been actually deported 18 persons. * * * It has always been the proud boast of America that this is a government of laws and not of men. Our Constitution and laws have been based on the simple elements of human nature. Freemen cannot be driven and repressed. they must be led.
