"WE CAN CHANGE OUR GOVERNMENT PEACEABLY"

Louis F. Post, late Assistant Secretary of Labor, spoke last night in the Trophy Room of the Union on "An Inside View of the Deportations" sketching the events which led up to and the history of the deportations.

In the beginning of his address Mr. Post declared that he took his stand with Abraham Lincoln and that "there is no excuse for violence. However it may be in other countries, we can change our government peaceably."

Turning to the specific question of deportations he outlined the policy and laws of Congress during the time that the principle of the "Open Door" was gradually abandoned and compared the "Alien and Sedition Acts" of 1798 with the present laws.

"Under the law of 1918," he declared, "it was made a deportable offense to belong to any society which discussed or advocated the overthrow of the government by force or violence" and the Department of Labor was commissioned to carry out the law.
