I introduced a bill which this House has already passed. and which I sincerely hope may receive favorable action by the Senate without delay. We cannot. however. assume that all of the disloyal elements are composed of aliens. Let us bow our heads in shame. but let us nevertheless realizd that there are American citizens. both nativeborn and naturalized. who. like Hacha and Quisling would gladly betray our country for a few pieces of silver. just as Judas Iscariot betrayed our Lord 2.000 years ago. We must be on guard at every cross road. We must drive the snakes out of the garden lest they make ineffective our preparations against foreign aggression. but in so doing we must be equally careful that we do not in the name of liberty commit the very crimes of intolerance which we so condemn in others.
