Ervin in the House of Representatives in 1945, discussing the proposed creation of the Fair Employment Practices Commission (F.E.P.C.) as a concentration camp for all Americans. Ervin argues that the F.E.P.C. would act as a kangaroo court, allowing bureaucrats to issue and change regulations, hold trials anywhere at any time, copy records without court order, and act as prosecutor, judge, and jury. He warns that the F.E.P.C. would destroy individual liberty through regimentation and fear, and would have a disastrous effect on society. Ervin urges Congress and the American people to reject the proposed legislation and uphold democracy and freedom."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/Fair%20Employment%20Practices,%201945-CAC_CC_047_1_5_17_0000/thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_17_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Speech on the Dangers of the Proposed Fair Employment Practice Commission Legislation: Honorable Joe W.
