A convicted spy. or traitor. or saboteur. or seditionary have beyond any doubt one quality in common and that is by their own voluntary acts they have demonstrated that they bear no allegiance to the Government of the United States. Therefore I believe that all such convicted traitors should suffer the same penalty so far as their nationality is concerned. Thus. my bill provides for the loss of nationality by both native born or naturalized citizens upon conviction of any one of the following crimes: a violation of section 794. relating to the gathering or delivering of defense information to aid a foreign government. violation of sections 2153. 2154. 2155. 2156 which involve sabotage of war and defense materials. violation of section 2381. the crime of treason. of section 2383 relating to rebellion or insurrection. of section 2384 involving seditious conspiracy. of section 2385 advocating the overthrow of the Government by force or violence. violating sections 2387 or 2388 which relate to acts involving the morale. loyalty. and discipline of the Armed Forces. A violation of each and every one of those sections of title 18 of the United States Code involves activities that are in and of themselves hostile and injurious to our Government. Those actions evince a criminal intent on the part of the perpetrators to betray the Government of the United States and so violates their allegiance to this Government.
