Stevenson is flying in the face of the judgment of a majority of the party whose nomination he seeks when he states the acts bad features outweigh the good. The political intent of Adlai Stevenson In entering this controversy is obvious when one considers the many opportunities he had to voice his opinion before the Democrat Congress enacted the law and before he became a candidate for national office. Hearings on revision of the immigration laws were conducted for over 4 years prior to the laws enactment. and during that time all persons interested in the law were invited to make their representations to the committees. Certainly the Governor of Illinois would not have been refused had he asked to be heard. Also. it should be remembered that Adlai Stevenson was employed by the United States Department of State at the close of World War II.
