Who Advocate Revolt Will

NEWARK. n. j., Jan. 15.-A warning
that every alien who advocates the
overthrow Of the American government
by force or who belongs to an organiza-
tion holding such views will be deported
las fast as we can find ships" was is
sued here last night by Secretary of
Labor Wilson, in an address in which
he defended his departments policy in
respect to radical agitators.
Mr.. Wilson said that 1000 aliens who
were physically n mentally unfit or
who believed in the destruction of the
government by violence had been de-
ported since the armistice without any
particular attention being paid to them
by the public, but that the departure
of the Buford with 249 anarchists had
caused an accusation that men were
being deported because of their radical
views.
Everyone who lives here" he said,
has the right to radical views and has
the right to try IN convince you and
me, but when he tries to force his
views on you and on the United States
government he has no right to coin
plain when that government uses force
on him and sends him back to the
country from which he came to try his
experiments on some of the autocratic
governments"
