DEPORTATION FOR ENEMIES.

TO the editor: In the present critical
condition of affairs the President and
government should have the undivided
and whole souled support of every in
habltant of these United States II is
unfortunate that not few misguided
persons have expressed their sympathy
for the enemy, and in many cases have
done reasonable acts to help them and
damage our country. This should not
be tolerated for moment.
The present is no time for a panic,
nor - it time for temporizing with
those who would undermine our govern
ment. Punishment for such aliens
should be swift and severe We must
be fair to them and compel them to he
fair to this country, which has given
them protection and opportunity They
should be given to understand, distinct
ly, and once for all, and without any
further notice, that anyone living in the
United States, whether naturalized cit
lzens or not, who denounces the Pres
ident, the government or the flag, or in
any way utters reasonable sentiments,
thus giving comfort and aid to our en-
emies, should be arrested Immediately
and tried. If found g~ilty the culprit
should be interned until the close of the
war, all bis property conhscated by tina
federal government, and the individual,
If foreign born, and his immediate fam
lily, should he deported to his native
land and never permitted to return tc
this country.
If this were generally published and
made known it would have very whole
some effect on lot of undesirable char
acters, who, as a rule, would much pre-
fer to so to hell at once than return to
the land Of their birth. G. S. I.
