I can best answer that question by saying that the question as to who shall be entitled to vote in any specific State is not within the jurisdiction of this Congress to determine. It is a question to be decided by the States. We are dealing with the question of naturalization. We have authority over that subject. and it is the view of the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization that before a man should be naturalized as an American citizen he should have these qualifications. We admit him. Mr. Chairman. to our shores. and we give him all the privileges and advantages that this country affords him.
