Those of us who are upholding this legislation do not say that the Dies committee has not made mistakes. We do not claim that the Dies committee is infallible. but we do know that they have fearlessly for a number of years exposed the sowers of sedition and of unAmerican activities in this country and have as a result of their activities sent some of them to jail. I have some criticism of the Dies committee myself and I have had it for a number of years. I believe they ought to not only investigate. but they should come back and urge constructive legislation before the House. more drastic deportation laws. the outlawing of the Communist Party. taking the Communists off the ballot. and not permitting Communists or bundists to hold office in the Federal Government.
