MCCARRANI. other Members of the Committee on the Judiciary. and other Members of the Senate. who have in a most earnest manner addressed themselves to the consideration of this vital question. The Senate of the United States is now considering one of the most important pieces of legislation in many sessions of the Congress. I have the honor of being a member of the special subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary which made a comprehensive investigation of our entire immigration system. One phase of that investigation related to the subversive activities in our country among alien and national groups. The hearings revealed. many startling facts concerning communism and subversive elements in the United States. It has been evident that for the past year and onehalf the masters of the subversive propaganda machinery in the United States have been working overtime to prevent enactment of any type of legislation which would halt the spreading of propaganda against our system of Government and prevent the deportation of subversive aliens engaged in attempts to destroy us. The subcommittee had many wellknown authorities and former members of the Communist Party of the United States to some of whom the distinguished Senator from South Dakota referred this afternoon testify in order to expose the purposes of Communist political organizations and their members. It was startling to hear some of the facts relating to the activities of the Communist Party of the United States.
