Speech #770071951

I believe that if this bill is enacted into law it will enable the F. B. I. to run down and apprehend these subversive agitators in our midst whose activities are the same as those employed by the Nazi and Fascist agents in dividing the people in those countries which have been weakened and fallen a prey to Hitlerism. Many persons of these subversive elements cannot be deported because they are.Americanborn. but under this proposed law they could be apprehended and prosecuted. Mr. Speaker. it is to be regretted that some people are more interested in certain interests in the United States than they are in the welfare of our country.
