DEPORTATION POWERS
AMERICAN BILL VETOED BY PRESIDENT. EXISTING AUTHORITY SUFFICIENT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Dav. 10.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON. April 8. President Roosevelt vetoed a Bill providing for the mandatory deportation of saboteurs, spies and drug addicts on the grounds that it was not necessary and probably would result in hardship. He pointed out that there was ample authority for deporting undesirables. Moreover, he had just signed a Bill drastically increasing the penalties for spying and sabotage. He added that addiction to drugs was a lamentable disease and not a crime.
