Polier was a member of the International Juridical Association and who. back in 1925. wrote to our colleague. the distinguished majority leader. then investigating unAmerican activities. the following. XC351 We. desire to express to. your committee Inv~stigating unAmerican activities. our disapproval of the use of the power of the Federal Government to suppress socalled radical propaganda. We wish to go on record specifically as opposed (1) to the proposal to bar from the malls.all publications of Communist origin. and (2).to strengthen already too severe immigration and deportation laws so as to render Communists deportable as such. and (3) to the proposal to enact a Federal sedition statute under which mere opinions. beliefs. or utterances could be penalized. Let me read to you from the preamble to the constitution of the American section of the International Juridical Association: Present America offers the example of a country* discarding traditions of liberty and freedom and substituting legislative. administrative. .and judicial tyranny. This country. once known to the world as the haven of rbfuge of oppressed peoples. now excludes. or deports. those daring to voice unpopular .opinions: with a Constitution supposed to protect freedom of expression. it now persecutes and imprisons its political dissenters. Mr. Chairman. that is the type of influence you find down there in 0.
