As said by Mr. Ashton In his argument. Moores Digest. volume 3. page 2703 (and his argument was sustained by the commission and the claimant allowed damages). that the naturalization of an alien relates back In the first step and constitutes him a citizen from the date of declaration of intention. " that persons who have duly declared their intention to become citizens of and bona fide domicile of the United States are subject to the protection of the United States against Injuries by the territory of Mexico within and without the territory of the United States." I repeat that this theory of Mr. Ashton was adopted by the commission on Mexican claims. It has been adopted. as I understand. from the books on international law.
