I again criticize Mine. Perkins and Attorney General Jackson in that they have given explanations that are as full of as many holes as my colleagues criticism is. When I offered a general bill before the Immigration and Naturalization Committee my colleague from New York said it would be impossible of interpretation. that is. that part of the bill that said when these subversive interests gave aid to Communists. Nazis. and Fascisti. helped. aided. abetted. and so forth. that that language was impossible of interpretation. My answer to him was that the language was parallel to the language used in our criminal codes. which has successfully been used by all the courts for 150 years. namely. that the judges and juries in this country have always been able to determine what an accessory or an accomplice to murder was. I can only say that my colleague certainly has courage to defend either Mine. Perkins or Attorney General Jackson for lack of action and nonperformance of duty in connection with the deportation of Harry Bridges and the cancelation of Fritz Kuhns citizenship.
