Mr. Chairman. I recognize the force of the aruient of the gentleman from Illinoisin regard to the constitutionality of the proVision. as it would clearly make a distinction between naturalized citizens of the United States and nativeborn citizens of the United States. and recognizing also that we all desire to frame the best legislhtion that we can with due regard to the interest of all the citizens of the United States whether they be natural or native born or foreign born. and yielding. to none. in spite.of the remarks of my eloquent friend from Wisconsin. in my admiration for the Germans. because I. too. am of German birthmy forefathers were born there. and I am of Pennsylvania German stockrecognizing all that. and desiring the best legislation in the interest of all. 1 would ask to strike out the word " natives."
