Mr. Chairman. I am quite willing to take the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama. but I had supposed in reading this bill that one of the purposes of it was not to make it too obnoxious and indicate that Hindus were not entitled to become citizens of the United States by naturalization. We all know what one of the purposes of this clause is. although not disclosed on its face. I supposed this had been done intentionallyto say that the Hindus and persons pot entitled to become naturalized citizens were to be excluded. It looked to me a bright way of saying something. where you really did not want to use all the language you could use about it and cover the subject.
