Speech #590131657

I am sure that no Member of this House would want. by withholding support of this bill. to do injustice to anyone who honestly sought citizenship in this country. The purpose of the bill is not to correct errors of the applicant. but rather to correct errors or oversights made by the courts in issuing the certificate. The persons who have been naturalized within the time covered by this bill are not the undesirable persons referred to by the gentleman from Iowa . The persons who are to be affected by this bill are men of industry and economy who have purchased property. That title to such property is affected by the oversight of the courts in issuing the certificates referred to.
