Edgar Hoover has said that in the event of war he can put his hands immediately on the 12.000 Communists who are the most dangerous. and possibly on a total of 55.000 Communists. I should like to point out that we have many statutes in addition to the Conspiracy Act and the Smith Act. We have the Foreign Agents Registration Act. the Immigration Act. the treason statute. the peacetime espionage laws. and the laws relating to sabotaging of utilities. In addition to that. we have the Government loyalty program. and so on. Therefore. the idea that we are helpless is not true.
