I would not take up the time of this House with these remarks. - But Cervantes is both a symbol and a warning: a symbol of the Fascist character of Falangist Spain and a timely warning to all of us here that the time has come to start a full dress investigation of the Falange in the Western Hemisphere. The Fascist activities of Cervantes while a guest of this country have already becloudec our prestige as a democracy in Latin America. It is time that we made clear to our friends in Latin America that Cervantes never did have the backing of our G3vernment. It is time to prove. by the deportation of Cervantes among other things. that a Spanish accent still does not make Fascist doctrine acceptable in the United States. Within the next few weeks. Maj.
