It isperfectly patent that all we can do in an Alaska bill is to provide for Alaska conditions. and they are exceptional. That country is very remote from here. and while we are on the Alaska bill let us meet this case. if it is anything like what the gentleman from West Virginia says it is. if it is not. then the courts can so determine. We are not trying the case here. but we ought to afford some convenient method of procedure by which American citizens can vindicate their rights against illegal alien entries and against those who have fraudulently procured such entries to be made. If. as the gentleman from Iowa [Mr. LicY] claims. the law as it now stands validates the title of an American citizen who bona fide buys the claim entered by an alien. such purchaser will not be hurt by this amendment. if I correctly caught its reading.
