I do not know whether the gentleman from Idaho heard the opening part of my statement. but for his benefit I will restate it. It seeks to correct the deficiency in the present statute which requires that all aliens generally. including seamen. shall be deported to their native country if illegally in the country and so deportable. The courts have held that "native country" means country territorially and not governmentally. So we cannot deport them by reason of the existing Axis occupation of many of these countries. and under present law we cannot deport them to the country in which their country in exile is located or the country of the registry of the vessel. We need the added authority to see to it that these seamen are available for service.
