Speaker. is that if by chance this country opens up a second front we shall have more saboteurs and spies doing dirty work here as they did in the last war when they blew up the Canadian Car & Foundry Co. and caused the Black Tom explosion and other great disasters. Hundreds of people are parading around as friends of America who. in my opinion. are her enemies. There are certain people. children of naturalized citizens. who are actually working against our country and our Government. What our committee asked of this Congress was to give them the power to get the facts for the safety of our country. The gentleman from Virginia . who usually does not go along with me at allI do not remember his ever voting for a bill I recommended or that the committee recommendedthe gentleman from Virginia stood in the Well of this House and begged that the committee be given the right to make that study.
