Mr. Chairman. the work being done by this Bureau of Naturalization is of vital importance at this particular time. This money does not come out of the taxpayers of the country. They have paid into the Treasury by the head tax $750.000 in excess of the amount necessary to take care of the service. We asked that this be made $675.000 in order that this good work may be carried on. In cities where there is a large foreign population it is of the utmost importance to Americanize these new citizens. The cities throughout the country are giving schoolrooms. and the Government is furnishing free textbooks.
