They seem to think that anyone who is in favor of looking out for the American people first is an isolationist. and subject to condemnation. Now. let me tell you this. if you do not know it now. you will find it outand I am speaking to Members on both sidesat least 75 percent of the American people are nationalists. They believe in the fundamental principles laid down by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson when they said that our foreign policy should be one of "peace. commerce. and honest friendship with all nations. entangling alliances with none." That policy. if followed today. would make America the strongest and most powerful nation under the shining sun. but when you go off under the guise of carrying the Voice of America abroad and bring in legislation here that tears down our immigration laws. imports Communist professors. if you please. from behind the iron curtain. and violates every principle of the foreign policy Washington and Jefferson and the great leaders who founded this Republic believed in. you- are not doing the country any good. and you are not carrying out the will of the American people. I shall vote to recommit this bill in -its present form to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. and in my opinion. if you pass It in its present form. it will be as dead as a dodo: I do not believe it will ever again see the light of day. I am sure it would not if the Americans could have their way.
