No. there will not be. Now. in order to be fair. let me state that there is more than that involved in this legislation. When the United States declared war. on April 6. 1917. of course aliens who came from Germanyand subsequently. when we declared war against AustriaHmgary. the same thing was true with reference to that countrycould no longer become naturalized in this country. They becanie alien enemies. so that petitions that had already been filed under the natuinalization laws and were already pending In court could not be prosecuted to a successful conclusion in court. The House of Representatives. realizing the injustice of this. passed some days ago a bill which provided that where naturalization petitions were pending and the first papers had been taken out prior to the declaration of the war with these countries the court could allow these people to become naturab ized upon proper showing of loyalty and good citizenship.
