Mr. Chairman. during the consideration of the immigration bill in the Sixtythird and Sixtyfourth Congresses I favored an amendment requiring either compulsory naturalization or deportation. That was before war measures were under consideration. And It is. in my mind. very much more important that the same sort of law should become effective today. Th6 only objection heard in our section of the country at all to the draft law is the fact of the very large percentage of aliens that are not only escaping the draft but are taking the positions made vacant by our boys that are called into the service.
