Speaker. I would like to state my understanding of this bill. Section 39 of the act of 1903 requires every person XLI---30 who applies for naturalization to do something. and that is. to satisfy the courthle is not an anarchist. that he is in sympathy with the Government of the United States. The measure considered here this morning will validate every naturalization certificate without requiring the person who applies to make the affidavit required by the thirtyninth section of the act of 1903. Assuming that to be so. then those already naturalized. but whose certificates are deficient. will not be required to state their opinions upon the form of our Government and make the affidavit requiring them to subscribe thereto. They will not be required to qualify that they are not anarchists. They will escape the provisions of existing law.

Generalization that those seeking naturalization may be anarchists.
