I have been terribly worried about these decisions. Now. let me point out some of those decisions to you. The Supreme Court held that an alien cannot be deported solely because of past membership in the Communist Party. When we wrote the section of the WalterMcCarran Act providing for the deportation of aliens. we just felt that we ought not to permit a guest in our house to set the house on fire. And while providing discretionary relief in the case of genuinely reformed former Communists. we did not say anything about how far back in the past that subversive activity had occurred. We merely provided that where an alien joined the Communist Party. then that alien was subject to deportation. The Supreme Court said. "No. the Congress must have meant meaningful association." whatever that is. Then they went on in the case of a citizen who had been denaturalized because he was a member of the Communist Party and held that he could not be denaturalized because there was no evidence that when he took the oath of allegiance it was not done in good faith.
