Chairman. I need only say to those who did not hear me before that I am thoroughly in sympathy with the objects ofthiis bill. but it has two means proposed. One is to bar people from naturalization. and the bill limits that to our allies. I think any alien who is here and says lie does.not want to serve the United States in this crisis ought not hereafter to have the right to be naturalized and become a citizen. and I therefore strike out all referring to hIls special nationality. As amended. the first section is very shmuple. It says that any alien who by himself or by anyone else has heretofore claimed or shall -hereafter claim exemption from the selective draft on account of being an alien shall forever be denied the right of becoming a citizen of the United States or any of its possessions.
