Are we making any headway in our at

They are human weeds. We can get rid of
them about as successfully and satisfactorily
by deporting them as we could eradicate
Canadian thistles by the same process. | am
not certain that I know what TO do with
them, but I do feel that ! am certain that
deportation is not the cure.
If it were possible to confine thought or
lack of it, to any particular part or corner
of the earth then we might hope to accom-
plish something by deportation. But in this
modern time. when communication is nearly
the easiest thing to accomplish. thought is
the most difficult thing in all the world to
represS, compress or successfully oppress.
Even in the old days of dominant autoc-
racy the practice of deportation was noto-
riously failure. Perhaps the most notable

safe to assume that if the old government
of the czar were in power today it would be
given the same consideration that we show
others that are able to look out for their

conclude that not only are we adopting a
policy that has always failed in the past, but
that we are following it in cowardly man
ner and with limited legal and almost no
moral rights.

The communist and labor group
against which the raids were directed
was said to have gained strength

cities where the raids were, conducted
In addition to the newspapers the
communist party was actively en-

Mr. Garvin said that although ms
information was incomplete II was
certain that the whole editorial sL7iis

believed it was striking at the roo'
of the menace by destroying the De
