The gentleman says it is correct. Now. I understand further. and without information. that there are a great many citizens of countries with which we are at war. and citizens of neutral countries and citizens of our allied countries. in the United States and not naturalized. Now. In that condition it seems to me the trouble as to the slackers comes about very largely from the fact that the Congress of the United States when it passed the law for conscription did not provide for the condition. And in many of our districts there are people in the coal mines. perhaps. and in. the munition factories. and upon the railroads that have been registered but exempted on the ground of noncitizenship in the United States. I understand there are some cases. and it has been admitted. where the Italians have gone into our service voluntarily and are subject to be taken as Italian subjects. Whether Italy would take them or not. being an ally.
