The committee further report that they had ascertained that certain noblemen of Europe now own 21.000.000 acres of land in the United States. besides millions of acres owned by other aliens. The committee further say that European capitalists have invested millions of money in railroad and land bonds covering 100.000.000 acres of land. the greater part of which. under foreclosure sales. will in a few years become the property of foreign bondholders. The bill prohibits foreignborn persons who have not been naturalized from owning land. and only allows them to have a leasehold. and that for no longer than five years. it also compels alien landowners to sell their lands or become citizens within ten years. and they favor the passage of this bill. I ask that the resolution be received and referred. I suppose. to the Committee on Education and Labor.
