There Is no embarrassment. There Is a vast distinction. as great as the error of the gentleman In offering it. between function of those words in my bill and in his amendment to this bill. In the Hobbs bill I wrote that any alien who sought to enter the United States for the purpose of acting in behalf of any foreign government or group. or in conjunction with any party. group. or organization. itself acting In behalf of any foreign government or group. or. without limiting the foregoing. any alien who comes here to act in behalf of the Communist Party of the United States of America. the Kyffhauserbund. the GermanAmerican Bund. or any other organization. foreign or domestic. successor to. or acting for. or in place of. or in conjunction with. any one o1 them. should be excluded from admission. and that any alien who so acts after getting into the United States should be deported. These provisions of my bill were based on the bedrock principle that the law of our land is that any alien who is in favor of the overthrow of our Government by force may be kept out. or. if he gains admission. may be put out. and that the courts have held again and again and again that the Communist Party favors such overthrowsuch decisions being based on abundant evidence. given in open court under crossexamination. and subject to rebuttal by evidence contraand the manifest truth that the bunds seek the same end. But this bill has nothing whatever to do with the exclusion or deportation of aliens. It deals almost entirely with citizens of the United States. It requires the registration of any person who acts as a propaganda agent of a foreign principal.
