Mr. Chairman. the paragraph is subject to a point of order. The purpose of it is simply to cure the question of whether the police court of Louisvilleits proper name Is the city court of Louisvillewas a court authorized to naturalize aliens. There are some ten or fifteen thousand certificates that were issued under the old naturalization law under the belief that the court was a court having jurisdiction to naturalize aliens. The only effect of this provision. if agreed to. would be to cure that question. It does not validate any naturalization papers that are subject to attack because of any other reason such as fraud or noncomplince with the law in any particular. It is similar to remedial legislation that was passed in one of the courts of Cook County. Ill.
