Speech #760229175

As I have said. at no time could I obtain the evidence upon which the committee made its decision and without which I cannot conscientiously and honestly make my decision. Let us consider what is the acknowledged evidence with respect to the deportation of Bridges. We all know that Mr. Bridges was arrested upon a warrant issued by the Department of Labor for his deportation on the ground that he was. or is. a member of. or affiliated with. an organization whose primary objective is the overthrow of our democratic form of government. I have no sympathy. nor is any Member of this House in sympathy. with anyone who would overthrow our form of government. or effect any change in that form of government except in the constitutional way provided for making such changes. The hearings were conducted before a special trial examiner.
