Speaker. there does not seem to be anyone opposed to this bill except the gentleman from California [Mr. RAKERI. and I shall not detain the House more than a -few minutes in making some observations in reference to objections. Of course. there is the matter of pride. it seems. for the Committee on Naturalization had this bill under consideration and smothered it. That ought -not to weigh one way or the other. This bill is a good bill and ought to pass. If the Committee on Naturalization overlooked its merits. that -is its fault and not ours. The objection which he makes to the bill is. first. that it would apply to those who had violated the neutrality laws of the United iStates. It does not apply to those at all. it applies to those who did not violate the neutralitT laws of the United States. but who joined the forces of these nationswhen it was necessary for them to renounce their allegiance to the United States in order to do it.
