Another leading case on the subject is Counselman against Hitchcock. which reiterates the position in the Burr case. I wish to allude briefly to one or two other matters in connection with the bill. In section 22. subsection (G). we find the following: Aliens who write or publish. or cause to be written or published. or who knowingly circulate. distribute. print. or display. or flnowingly cause to be circulated. distributed. printed. published. or displayed. or who knowingly have in their possession for the purpose of circulation. publication. or display. any written or printed matter advocating or teaching * * * the economic. international. and governmental doctrines of world communism or the economic and governmental doctrines of any other form of totalitarianismShall be deported. Let us see what that means. It means that an alien who is legally here. who has an interest in a book store where Mein Kampf is sold. or where the works of Lenin and Stalin are sold. or books on the philosophy of any of the dictatorships throughout the century. would be guilty and would have to be deported. Mr. President. have we come to the point where democratic free American citizens cannot read about other philosophies of government?
