The Government is not free from blame. Frietag was not only an alien and a Communist but he had also been convicted twice of serious felonies. Under our laws he could have been deported because he was an alien and a Communist. and for the added reason that he had been convicted of felonies. If the immigration authorities had done their duty they would have sworn out a deportation warrant for Frietag and his aliencommunistic associates. and if that had been done it would not have been necessary to call out the Army. We now have thirteen hundred Russian Communists in this country who have been tried and convicted and ordered deported. and about 500 Fascists. but they have been in this country for a long time. and they are still in this country. They are considered dangerous aliens. The Government has not deported them. and neither has it taken steps to confine them.
