Mr. Speaker. I. am not going to vote against this bill. but I have reached the point where I think the bill ought to be amended so as not only to permit the drafting of alien cobelligerents with first naturalization papers. but alien cobelligerents whether they have any naturalization papers at all or not. any treaty to the contrary notwithstanding. As alien with first papers is no more a citizen than an alien without first papers. We have just as much right to draft an alien without first papers as we have to draft an alien with first papers. and surely the countries that are cobelligerents could not object to our doing so.
