We are not condemning aliensbut gentlemen. as a Nation we are at the crossroads of our destiny. We cannot afford to take a chance on alien enemies being planted in the defense industries of our country for the purpose of sabotag.ing our efforts to build an adequate national defense. This amendment is in line with the policy of industry. who has for months required that every employee either produce a birth certificate or evidence of his naturalization. Some of our industries may be lax or sympathetic in applying such a policy but the risk involved is too great to deal lightly with the question. If this amendment is adopted industry will be called upon to conduct a thorough house cleaning and to scrutinize the background of every employee.
