Yes. I adverted to that a moment ago. We have a statute that provides for the revocation of naturalization- papers for fraud. In a New Jersey case. where a man was naturalized some 20 or 25 years ago. I think. and was haled before the court on a motion to annul his naturalization papers. the court held that the naturalization papers should be annulled on the ground of fraud. The court in that case decided that the evidence was such as to convince him that the man had a fraudulent intent at the time he acquired those papers. and the court annulled his naturalization. Similar action is being taken in a number of other cases. but there is no law which provides that merely on account of a seditious or disloyal declaration the court is authorized ipso facto to denaturalize the citizen by annulling his papers. It is only authorized on the idea that there was fraud in the acquisition of the papers.
