Perkins has been the worst failure in history of any Cabinet officer. Meeting the criticism of the gentleman from New York fairly. I will say that his answer does not hold water. because Harry Bridges could and should be deported to Australia. Secondly. Fritz Kuhns citizenship paper can be canceled and he can be sent to Germany. My colleague must certainly know that there is still a Germany and there is still an Australia. and that he. or none of our officials. can hide behind that general statement in the face of the facts. namely. that there still is an Australia and there still is a Germany. Neither can he hide behind the fact that where these criminalsand I use the word as used by my colleagueare found to be criminals. they certainly should be confined either in prisons. immigration stations. or concentration camps. These institutions have not been wiped out by the Treaty of Versailles. and to have him make the statement that Mine. Perkins could not do anything under these conditions and the criticisms against her were unjustified. appears to me to be juvenile and worse than no statement at all.
