All this idle chatter about the Bill of Rights and that sort of thing is merely the smoke screen. maybe unconsciously put out. to hide the real issue. We face a condition. a fact. and not a theory. As to Harry Bridges. at the time this bill was up before it was debatable whether he would be ordered deported. It is no longer debatable. and the distinguished judge who tried him held not only that he had been a member of the Communist Party but that the Communist Party was devoted to the proposition of the overthrow of this and every other government by force and violence. That is a matter of judicial decree. Now. I want to ask you this question. Suppose he is finally ordered to be deported. what are you going to do with him if Australia will not take him back? That is the question that Lemuel Schofield is up against. and that is the question we have got to face. What are you going to do with the hundreds of cases each year in which it is utterly impossible to carry out the sovereign will of the American Government? I say. restore its sovereignty. In the mat.ter of deportation. to this great Government. and only so can you be in reality and in truth a free. independent. and sovereign nation. Detain such aliens until their departure be assured.
