 The complete letter Of Rep. Cit. ron Is as follows:
 Honorable Wilbur L. Cross,
 Governor of the State of Con.
 necticut,
 Executive Chambers,
 Hartford, Connecticut.
 My dear Governor Gross:
 I have just received c copy of the colnmendable resolution draft. cd by the citizens of southbury, Connecticut, with regard to the establishment of Q NaSi camp at southbury.
 Months ago, when these camps were being planned and set Up irl the various sections of our cotiii. try, I requested the department Of justice to investigate the possible violation of federal laws. At that time, 1t was diyulged on the floor of congress that there were Sev- erai units in Connecticut of the German American bund, Q Na2i organization composed mainly of aliens, whose teachings are aimed ct the destruction of our demo- cratic institutions and fomenting ll-wiil and discord among our people.
 Naziism of course has no place in our country, since its objec- tives strike at the very funda- mentals of our national ideals. It is my belief that the movement is well financed by the foreign rela- tions propaganda section Of the present German government, un. der the direction of Herr ooeb- bels. This, of course, Is 8 difii- cult matter to prove, and pres- ent-day governments are too clever to be caught red-handed.
 If the sponsors of these camps were foolish enough to ship fire- arms across state borders, they would be guilty of violating fed- eral law, but only if the guns were machine-guns or sawed-on shot, guns. However, I doubt if they will make this mistake.
 It is alleged that many of those behind this movement are aliens, but unless they are here unlaw. fully, in violation of immiera- ton laws, they cannot be easily deported. You will therefore see that from a federal standpoint, the problem is a very difiicult one. It is indeed sad to think that our freedom of speech. the bulwark of democracy. is being used by the Nazis as an instrument, only to deny this very freedom to others when they acquire power.
 On the other hand, if the as- Sertion is correct that aliens, di. rectly and indirectly in control of the bund; are collecting and using arms at thse camps, they are violating our state laws. be- cause aliens have no such rights. It is also evident from the mass meeting of the aroused citizens of Southbury as well as from the protests made throughout our state, that such e gathering Is Q menace to our peace. Our local and state governments have rights in relation to threatened breach of the peace.
 Public opinion condemned the Ku Klux Klan. and am certain that public opinion will likewise condemn the Naxi movement in this country. financed by tho 0er-
