It has been stated. I do not know how authoritatively. that many of these pensioners. disgusted with tie conditions in the State of the gentleman from Iow:. are taking refuge in Canada. and perhaps he prefers that they should be supported there rather than have them live within the confines of his own Commonwealth. A Republican Congress passed a law much more severe than this. much more farreaching in its effect. to which gentlemen on that side did not dissent. but which they very vigorously supported. and that is the law which deprives of his citizenship any naturalized American citizen who permanently resides without the United States for a fixed period of years. There are different views of the policy by which pensions are awarded to those who have served the Nation or to persons who were dependent upon those who so served. In nearly every civilized nation in the world pensions cease when the pensioner either removes without the confines of the country within which he is domiciled and from which he receives a pension. or whenever he enters the civil service of the Government and receives compensation for such services.
