Speaker. last Monday I had the privilege of addressing the House for 1 minute. during which limited time I tried to bring before the House some of the conditions that exist on the Pacific coast with reference to strikes. sabotage. unAmerican .activities. and subversive organized effort to destroy our nationaldefense program. In that limited time of 1 minute. of course. I could not very fully cover this subject. but just to speak of some of the high lights in that section and again draw attention to Harry Bridges. who should long ago have been deported. I think if the whole matter is fully gone into you will find that Harry Bridges has been the moving spirit back of most of these strikes and unAmerican activities. It does seem peculiarly singular that this man can remain in this country in spite of all that has been said about him. in spite of the things that he has done. and in spite of the efforts of this very Congress itself to have him deported. As you already know. this House passed the bill to deport Harry Bridges by a Vote of some 343 to 40. This certainly was a nonpartisan question and certainly was the result of thought after much time and study had been given to Mr.
