This registration will operate in the general not only as a safeguard to the citizen himself and a guide to our diplomatic agents. but it has become a necessity under the numerous naturalization treaties which have been ratified between this and other governments. It is useless here to discuss whether all the provisions of those treaties have been made in sound policy. I know that objections have been made to sotne of them.
