it also looks like there's another crack forming so, welding this is going to be an ongoing activity:
A good welder (very hard to find) might be able to fix it, but probably better to replace the tube, and more cost effective to buy a new frame. Here's a source for tubes, etc. https://framebuildersupply.com
