WASHINGTON. — The administra- tion entered upon a more determined phase of its policy to exclude from this country alien revolutionary Communists and other alien preach- ers of overthrowing governments by force when the Secretary of State sent instructions by cable to the American Consulate General in Lon- don to cancel the passport visa ^ Shapurji Saklatvala, a Communist member of the British Parliament, who has engaged passage for the United States to attend the sessions of the Inter-Parliamentary Union In Washington next month. After obtaining his passport visa Saklatvala had declared publicly that he Intended to carry on revolutionist and Communist propaganda while In the United States. In announcing this action Secretary Kellogg said; The question has arisen about the admission of Shapurji Saklatvala, a member of the British Parliament, on account of his inflammatory and revo- lutionary speeches. Visas were grant- ed to him under general instructions to grant visas to the delegates of all countries to the meeting of the Inter- parliamentary Union. Certain speech- es made subsequent to the granting of visas did not come to the attention of the department until within the last few days. The department haa in- structed the London Consul General to revoke the visa granted to Saklatvala on the ground that his admission Is Inconsistent with the Immlgation law. It is reported that in a speech In Par- liament he made the following state- ment: \I plead guilty th*t I am at the bottom of many of the Communis manifestos and the Communists' prop- aganda In India. I am not ashamed of It. • • • \I as a Communist and s, true be* liever In internationalism, do not speak with the intention of offending, but with the intention of giving a shock to yoBr mentality. I, for one, will not yield to terrorism. I am go- ing to carry subversive propaganda, revolutionary propaganda. Communis propaganda, international propaganda, with the assistance of the Russiani and the Chinese and the Germans an< the British.\ And again in a speech delivered on August 29 to the National minorit; party In England, he said: \I am going to America as a friem of the working classes. British im- : perialism ought to crumble in the* dust. I am out to work for a revolution ant ' for the day when the workers will | control the whole world. But before j this comes you will have to face cold i steel.\ I The following passage occurs in a I circular recently issued by Saklatvala and others: \Finally we declare that war i t part of the capitalist system and can therefore only be abolished by the overthrow of capitalism. This means that the whole working class move- ment must be organizationally and idealogically prepared to fight war by the transformation of the Imperialist war when declared into the civil war and the seizure of power by the work- j ing class.\ j Saklatvala is understood to be a ; member of the British Parliamentary | delegation to the Inter-Parliamentarr Union meeting to be held iz. Wash- ington. He is not appointed by the British Qcwnment nor selected by any authority of the British Govern- ment. I know of no reason why h* should be considered exempt from the immigatlon law any more than the humblest immigrant who holds sub- version or revolutionary views and carries on propaganda contrary to our Institutions. It is the policy of this Government to exclude such persons from coming to this country. F. TRUBEE DAV1SQN Selected as Chairman of National Crime Commission New York I State Itemsl Assemblyman F.
