That is the last subdivision. I would say. however. to the gentleman in.regard to the Department of State. that so far as I know we had no..uggestions from the Department of State. but we are advised by that department that they fully approve this bill. or at least have no objection to it. Now. so far as the other point that the gentleman referred to is concernedi. the conferees considered that it would be a great injustice to those citizens of Italy. for example. who come to this country and who desire to become naturalized and incorporated into our citizenship. to deny them naturalization simply because their country refuses to recognize the naturalization laws of the United States and their change of citizenship. It is a niatter entirely beyond their control.. They have no control over the:laws 6r the Government of Italy. and if they desire to come here and become citizens I see no reason why they should be discrimlnated against because of the remarkable action of their own Government.
