President. I present several bills for reading and reference. but I wish to call attention to one in particular. I am informed that there are in this country thousands of German aliens who have neglected through carelessness to take out their naturalization papers. although they have been in the United States many years. They have been andti are lawabiding residents of our country. but at this time they realize. as they have never realized before. that they have neglected the opportunity which has been accorded them to become citizens of a country which they love and with which their highest wvelfare is aligned. They are now recorded or will be recorded as aliens. and the finger.of suspicion will be pointed at them. I am advised that they are very anxious to become citizens of the United States at once. I introduce this bill providing for naturalizing those citizens. without making the declaration of intentions. who comply with the law of the land in. regard to naturalization in other respects and who have been here for five years or more. I move that the bill be referred to the Committee on "Inmigration. The bill to provide for the naturalization of certain aliens was read twice by its title and referred to the Committee on Imuigration.
