I entirely agree with the gentleman from Colorado as to section 3. I think it is too broad. In addition to the consideration that he urged upon the House. there is also the consideration of property rights and of property rights inhering in Americanborn citizens who might take through these foreignborn naturalized citizens. This bill will apply to a man who has now been abroad four years and eleven months. and if he remain abroad the other month he would be forced. under this statnte. to become no longcr a citizen of the United States. but a citizen of the country where he was.
