Mr. President. the draft boards in our section of the country in the discharge of their duties found a great many individuals who had declared their intention to become citizens who. under the law that we passed suhsequently. declared their intention to renounce their citizenship in order to avoid military service. Our draft boards. our chambers of comnerce. and various other organizations have urged that such persons be deported from the country. In order to carry out that view. in which I very heartily concur. I introduce the bill which I send to the desk and ask that it be referred to the Committee on Imnigration. The bill to expel and exclude from the United. States aliens who. to escape military service. have witinlrawn their declaration of intention to become citizens. was read twice by its title and referred to the Committee on Immigration.
