Mr. President. when I rose it was not to make explanation concerning myself. My philosophy of public life has been not to explain. because when you once undertake to explain you will tomorrow be explaining your explanation. but I believed it was due to the Committee on the Judiciary. of which I happen to be chairmanand I am proud to have that honorI believed it was an act of courtesy due to the members of the committee as well as due to the Senate. to say that the bill proposing to deport this evil and unhappy man Bridges. who has tortured the American people far too long. was not sent to the Committee on the Judiciary but was referred to the Committee on Immigration. I am not to be understood as criticizing the Committee on Immigration. because I have no doubt they will give the bill careful consideration. and make a report at an early date. but I say again that the melancholy and bloody recent history of Norway and Holland and Belgium. and particularly France. demonstrates to any man who thinks into things instead of around things that an enemy hammering on the gates from within is even more dangerous than the enemy hammering from without.
