WASHINGTON, June 4.-The ap-
pointment Of William j. Flynn. former
chief of the Treasury ,Jecret Service.
as chief of the Bureau of Investigation
OF the Department Of Justice, is taken
TO mean that henceforth in the United
States it is to be war to the utmost
against all forms of violent radicalism
1t is understood that Mr.. Flynn has
no instructions but to get 'em" In
this work he is to have the cordial
support of the secret services of the
Treasury and the Postoffice Among
these three agencies it is intmated
that from now on there will not be an
anarchist or revoutionist in the United
States who will not be shadowed night
and day
There are said to be sbout 1000
aliens in the United States who are
known to the Department of Justice
to be ready to commit any sort of
crime to further their destructive
ends, and within few days secret
service men will be collecting recent
data regarding every one of them. A
former official of the department said
to-day that if it we're legally possible
to pick up these desperate characters
and intern them there would be no
more bomb outrages
Criticism was heard IN many quar-
ters to-day TO the effec. that it was in
tolerable that with an alien deporta-
ton law. single one OF these enemies
of society should be allowed to remain
IN the United States. The present de-
portation law is exceedingly drastic,
but although it was passed as late as
October, 1918, the Department of
Labor, it is charged, has never made
a real drive under its authority.
1t is admitted that new legislation
by Congress is necessary in order to
strengthen the Federal pursuit of the
enemies of the nation, especially as
the espionage act is now regarded by
the courts as a dead letter, since the
present status is virtually one of peace,
even though nominally one of war.
The suggestion was advanced to-day
that the deportation of aliens ought to
be under the supervision of the De-
partment of Justice, as it is best
equipped for running down the persons
to whom it should be applied, and the
process would be single instead of
double one as at present. AS all the
evidence at hand indicates that 90 per
cent of the dangerous enemies of the
government are of foreign birth it is
predicted that the movement in favor
OF shutting off all immigration for a
period of years will be greatly
strengthened. New legislation is re-
quired to meet the cases of native born
Or naturalized citizens who conspire
against the government.
Anthony Caminetti Commissioner of
immigration, to-day forwarded to Sec
retary Of Labor William B. Wilson sug-
gestions for revision of the immigra-
ton laws with a view to preventing
the admission of radical aliens such as
were responsible for Mondays bomb
outrages.
1t is understood that in his letter to
the Secretary. Commissioner Caminetti
suggested first, that all immigrants be
registered and full information about
them kept on file. and second that
they should be admitted only on proba-
tlon of from three to six months sinh
Ject to deportation if found objection
