Mr. Douglass asked why they issue those duplicates. You Can go to the clerks office. and if the clerk refuses to issue you a hundred duplicates of any naturalization paper on record. not your own. but anybody elses. you can get a mandamus and compel him to issue them to you. That is because a duplicate is simply a certified copy of a court record. and anybody In the world is entitled to a certifiedcopy of any court record which is not sealed. as is done in divorce cases. Consequently this will be the only exception upon the statute books. and the clerk is authorized by law not to give a duplicate to anybody who can not countersign similarly to the signature upon his records. That is an absolute safeguard. Of course. we will admit that this law. as amended. is not perfect. We are working on these naturalization frauds. and we expect to take. perhaps. a year before we halfway clean up the citizenship of the United States and get rid of these fraudulently naturalized citizens. It will take us. perhaps. about a year.. During that year we will live and learn. and by the time we get through cleaning them up we will know more precisely what is needed in this line.
