In regard to what the State Deparment has been doing. gentlemen. away back on the 1st day of August the McCumber resolution was passed in the Senate urging the President and the State Department to negotiate with other countries in this very direction. They. I supposed. started that negotiation. A little later the Chamberlain resolution was passed. which provides for conscription of aliens. That resolution came over to the Committee on Military Affairs. In the meantime the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. had authorized the report of this bill. which violates no treaty. because it gives to these aliens the opportunity either to withdraw their claim of exemption and subject themselves to the draft. like the American boys have to do. or else be deported and get out of this country.
