Mr. Chairman. there were in the United States at that time 5.167.000 persons of foreign birth. males and of voting age. The number who had become naturalized was 2.857.907. Of those who had become naturalized only 3.5 per cent were unable to speak the English language. Of those who had filed first naturalization papers there were 415.000. and of those 13 per cent were unable to speak the English language. demonstrating that the great majority of those who took out the first papers did during the succeeding five years acquire the English language. But now mark what It shows inreference to those who had not taken out even their first papers. Of that number there were 1.067.000 (I will not give the odd figures) who had not taken out their first papers.
