Mr. Speaker. because this bill to amend the naturalization laws contains many technical phrases it is not easy to pick out from its several paragraphs the many beneficial things that It proposes to do for the unification and general welfare of all the people in the United States. including those aliens who hope to remain here and who are willing to help fight our battle. many of whom are in fact fighting under our flag and In the uniforms of our country. who can.not complete their naturalization without such a mieasure as this one. This bill comes to us from the Senfte as a substitute. in fact. a long and technical rider on a small hill passed by the House which dealt with only one plhase of the situation. But the House Immigration Committee gave the bill. as it is now before you. much study and I am convinced that this bill when enacted into lav will perform a great service toward putting right a large part of the population of the United States. The bill does four or five things in addition to codifying the naturalization laws. Let me state them briefly: First. It permits the correction of mistaken citizenship brought about through misunderstanding as to the rights of men who have thought they .are citizens. because they think their fathers took out full citizenship papers.
