Now. this is precisely the same sort of thing. There may be a theoretical remedy for these soldiers. There may be a possibility that they will acquire naturalization papers before they will go abroad. But I venture the confident prediction that there will be hundreds and perhaps thousands of these men who will go abroad and who. If this language is left in the law as it stands. will not be able to take advantage of the act. At the bottom of page 3 the conference committee recommends this language: During the time this country Is engaged In the present war may file his application for naturalization. My suggestion is that. on page 5. line 21. we strike out the words "at the passage of this act" and substitute the words "during the time this country is engaged in the present war." There can be no possible objection to that. I submit to the House. and these men will thereby automatically be taken care of.
