Ii They urge the deportation of those j aliens who have taken out their first | i papers, but who when the war came ; on in order to escape military serv- j 1 ice denounced tlieir declaration," L said Senator Jones. "They particu-l larly call attention to the fact that! out of 205 persons who renounced their citizenship, fifty-four, or nearly j 27 per cent., had I. W. W. cards in their pockets. "There is a very strong sentiment in the State of Washington for the deportation of theSe people. They are not considered desirable citizens . from'any standpoint." * Senator King interrupted to say (lie Department of Labor had taken | the matter up. and that as soon as' • shipping accommodations could he! j made "some of these alien anar- I ehists and Bolshevists who are seek j ing the destruction of our govern- I input will be deported." Senator Penrose asked if the coun • tries from which tjie objectionable I aliens came would be willing to take them back. "It occurs to me that we might | ship them home and their own. I countries refuse to accept them," I said Senator Penrose. "Perhaps.they j could not be landed from the ves- I sels." ' Senator King thought that under the alien law passed last October' ] there would he no difficulty in de- j I porting undesirables, j "1 can see bow the anarchists' | might pass their lives going from! . one shore to another," commented I i Senator Penrose.

It had once received a protest from one government against the deporta tion of its nationals rn this country, "ft seems that this government ] does not want them returned," said I Senator Jones. "So it protested I against our taking any action. 11 ! think, thought, that we ought to] | find the way to get these people outL lof the country. I do nH care where) I they go, so long as they get out of here." "Where would-they go?" demanded j Senator Penrose. "Maybe to the North Pole," sag-1 gested Senator Penrose.
