Reserving the right to object. I would like to call the committees attention to another equally ridiculous feature in this. and maybe they can doctor that up when they get in the committee room. The bill as it now reads provides that it the district attorney appears and offers any objection. however formal it may be. it stays judgment. as you would say. or it stays the issuance of the certificate of naturalization for fortyfive days. Now. he might go in and make the appearance in good faith and find there was nothing in it. and yet he is absolutely powerless to withdraw that and allow the matter to go to final judgment. as we say. or to the issuance of the certificate. for it says that it shall stay the matter for fortyfive days. "unless the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization shall file with the clerk of said court a statement to the effect that the United States does not propose to take an appeal." I think that should be doctored. too.
