Mr. Speaker. the purpose of this bill is apparent. Under the present immigration law if an alien formerly residing here joins our Army or joins the CzechoSlovak forces that are fighting against the central powers. should be shot to pieces and become disabled. and should be granted a discharge while in those countries and afterwards seeks readmission here. no matter how gallant and courageous he in:.y have been. he would be excluded. That is the purpose of the bill. The objection seems to settle around the proviso. I want to state. gentlemen. that the proviso is no pet of mine or of the gentleman who introduced and reported this bill .
