In its report filed January 3. 1941. the Dies committee recommended as follows: Withhold all Federal financial support from any educational institution which permits members of its faculty to advocate communism. fascism. or nazism as a substitute for our form of government to the student body of these educational institutions. If this recommendation had been adopted promptly. the influence of communism in our country would have been greatly reduced before it was able to accomplish its purposes. Since many Communist aliens had become naturalized after 1932. and the time had expired within which such naturalization could be revoked. the Dies committee on January 3. 1941. recommended as follows: We recommend that the statutory period during which citizenship papers can be revoked under existing law be extended to at least 10 years. The most important recommendation made by the Dies committee was that Communist organizations be outlawed. In our 1941 report we said: As long as these organizations have a legal status in the United States it will be difficult for any agency of the Government to deal with them. * * * The committee believes that legislation can be worked out to outlaw such organizations.
