I wanted the committee to know what was being undertaken. because. in my judgment. if it be possible to eliminate this mixing of State and Federal jurisdiction it is a wise thing to do. We have never had the Federal courts interfering with the State courts without the creation of friction. without creating scandal and a creation of evils greater than those they undertook to cure. For my part. I would rather see the provision as to the courts that could grant naturalization limited to Federal courts. I would rather have that than to have the Federal courts interfering with the State courts. Under the fourth section of this bill a judge of a State court would be subject to examination by a Department clerk of the Bureau of Commerce and Labor.
