Right now. employees of the American Communications Association. the top leaders of which have all been identified as members of the Communist conspiracy. man the tielines and leaselines emanating from the Pentagon itself. and service the North Atlantic cable. What Is the political objective of the Communist Party now in the United States? The No. 1 objective. as announced to the comrades assembled at the National Communist Convention in February. is the destruction of the Immigration and Nationality Act. In the course of the last 2 or 3 years. the Communist Party has created in the United States 180 organizations in 15 key States all for the purpose of bringing pressure on the Senators and Congressmen to repeal the .Immigration and Nationality Act. Most of the people who are In this apparatus do not have any idea that they are being used by the .Communist Party. Now I would not say. although I suspect. the leftwing press will misinterpret my statements. that everyone who advocates changes In the Immigration and Nationality Act is a Communist or under Communist Party discipline. The fact is that the Communists have found ready allies in the professional immigrationists. the dogooders. and in the politicians who seek to woo the socalled nationality bloc vote. promising more and more visas at a time when we have the highest immigration since 1926. Masquerading behind a facade of humanitarian appeals. this drive which is now in process. if successful. would destroy the principal safeguards of our immigration system. It would triple immigration to this country and abolish the only nonpolitical formula. the national origin quota system. which has ever been devised for apportioning visas among the clamoring millions of the world. As coauthor of the Immigration and Nationality Act. and as one who has spent literally years in careful study and investigation of our immigration system. I say to you that weakening amendments to the WalterMcCarran Act which are currently pending in the Congress. will undermine the security structure of this Nation. I shall fight those weakening amendments with every fiber of my being. because in my studied judgment.
