I will say to the gentleman from New York I do not believe that anybody who sincerely desires to acquire that knowledge within five years. living in this country. could not qualify himself under the provisions of this bill for naturalization. It is true that in the past they have not. because the inducement to them has not existed. If we hold out to them this inducement and say to them. " Before you are entitled to citizenship in the United States you must acquire this knowledge." I believe there will be very few of them at the end of five years who sincerely and earnestly want to fit themselves for American citizenship who will not be entitled to have It.
