Make the courts require the production of a certificate. and that would do away with the necessity of filing a duplicate in the Department at Washington with every petition filed in any court having jurisdiction of naturalization. That is unnecessary. The same result can be accomplished by compelling the applicant for citizenship. before final action is taken. to have the court pass upon the question whether the facts stated in the petition correspond with the facts stated in the certificate. And as the gentleman from Pennsylvania said. this bill provides that such a certificate must be filed with every petition. and it becomes part of the petition.
