Speech #650151295

I have had some correspondence with the Department of Labor on the question of validating certificates of naturalization issued- in error by varioug courts. and in consequence thereof I have introduced a bill with the approval of the department. to correct those invalidated certificates. In my city alone there are between 3.000 and 4.000 men who obtained naturalization papers and who believe theni selves to be properly naturalized. whose certificates are now invalid because of the decision of the Supreme Court in the ease of Morena. I am informed that there are" substantially 50.00 such invalid naturalization certificates held by people thrQugliout the United States. The question with me is this: Do you by this bill propose to validate those certificates? M[r.
