In a measure. this Indicates how the cold war is unhinging the nerves of some of our high military authorities. The secrecy. especially the .brand we are treated to. is ridiculous. Secondly these Immigration privileges are badly conceived. . If you.want.to give this authority to the military. all right. but I think we should know what we are doing and- whither. we are going. .The military -is not infallible. Witness the situation of the charges levied by the military intelligence. against one Agnes Smedley recently. that she was a Communist. or a Russian spy. and instead of retracting when they found they .were in error. they simrly. admitted a faux pas. . The military is indeed not infallible. On the question of immigration. they are given carte blanche. willynilly. to admit 100 persons under this.particularprovision which should be stricken from the bill or. if it is not stricken. certain safeguards should have been.added. I have spoken briefly to advise the Armed Forces Committee to stick to its own knitting. When immigration Is Involved. let the proper committee be consultedthe Judiciary Committee.
