Mr. Chairman. the gentleman from Illinois . who is always emphatic and always pungent in his reinarks. has been equally emphatic and pungent in regard to this word "natives." in subsection (c). on page 24. The emphasis of his remarks goes so far as to say that any native of a foreign country. although that native might be a naturalized citizen of the United States. would be prohibited by the terms of this act from obtaining either food or shelter or sustenance of any kind if the President of the United States by p.roclamation should declare that he should be thus deprived. Now. that is the basic )roposition. and I take it as a proposition which is well founded in reason under the emergencies of the case. Why should not a native of a foreign country. although he may be naturalized. be subject t thepovisions of this act if he makes himself subject to it by saying or doing anything which militates against the successful pro~ecuti6n of the waf?
