parties stop it?... I hope that the

Texas. applause" This is the
sort of judge whom liberals tell
Communists to expect Justice
from, and whom the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement Of
Colored People tell Negroes to rely
on for a fair application of the
law.
Fish Behind Bill
MR. Hamilton Fish of New York
iA said he congratulated Mr.. Dies
for bringing in legislation of this
kind" and declared, in his usual
grand-style, "If these alien COM
munists, who come here of their
own free will and accord, do not
like our laws, our country. our free
institutions, and our republican
form of government all they have
to do is to go back home" He
admitted that the bill was "primar-
ilv aimed to facilitate the deport-
alton of aliens who are active
members of the Communist PARTY"
and he hoped it would pass by
a u-1snimous vote" Mr.. Fish is
not worried about wage cutting. or
the 100000 unemployed, or lynch
ing. or starvation He Is only wor-
ried about deporting Communists
who fight against such "free in
stitutions." t
Mr.. F'isln's remarks we're supple
mented by, Mr.. jenkins of Ohio,
who openly stated that he did not
want to stop with taking action
against aliens only These most
dangerous communists are militant
international communists" he said,
many of them are native born and
con not be reached by this deport-
alton law, for we can not deport
native born citizen. I HOPE THE
TIME. WILL COME, HOWEVER,
WHEN WE CAN DEAL EFFECT
lively WITH THOSE WHO OPEN
LY ADVOCATE THE OVER
THROW OF OUR GOVERNMENT,
WHETHER THEY BE NATIVE
BORN OR ALIEN. Any man who
incites destruction of the Republic
is A WORSE CRIMINAL THAN A
MAN WHO INCTTES ONE TO
ROB OR TO KILL" Mr.. jenkins,
therefore, urged all the Represent
etives to vote for the Dies bill. be-
cause it was "the last word" in
"curbing conllnunistic activities"
Smells of Fascisn
That the rights of Communists,
whether native born or alien, are
net of particular concern to the
House of Representative was clear
from the remarks of Mr.. Green Of
Florida, in whose state the Tampa
workers we're brazenly arrested and
convicted for their working class
activities and are now in prison.
81 am not interested" said Mr..
Green, Gin protecting communists
as such. who are undertaking to
destroy the home. who are under
taking to destroy the American flag,
and who are undertaking to de-
stroy all of the cherished American
institutions. HE is NOT THE MAN
WE ARE DESTROYS OF PRO-
TECTING. Recently I read where
members of the American Legion
took communists to the border Of
their city and sent them away be-
cause they were making their US
ual un-American disturbances.
These worthy veterans are stand
