Certainly not. What are you going to do with the political refugee that left one of those countries because he did not like their form of government. who came over here and has not been naturalized? Are you going to conscript them into the military service? What are you going to do with other foreigners who apply for naturalization and can not meet some educational test that we impose? Down in my country they are imposing very strict conditions on the naturalization of aliens. and I think there ought to be proper conditions imposed. Are you going to conscript a man into our military service who is an alien. and who tried to become a citizen and could not? Of course the aliens are like the Indians. not taxed. and minors. who have no votes. and therefore the demand is to force them into the Army.
