Isolated colony proposal for anarchists debated in Senate
Senator Hoar urged banishment to an isolated world colony for anarchists as a remedy to crime. He argued punishment fails as assassins seek death but proposed a governmentless settlement to serve as an object lesson. McComas supported stronger federal penalties and immigration controls. Executive session followed and Congress adjourned.
