Mr. Chairman. I desire to discuss immigration and naturalization. I shall begin by calling attention to the statement by the gentleman. from Oklahoma that 10.000 American Indians entered the service of the United States Army during the war. A good showing for the Indians. But. Mr. Chairman. putting on the uniform did not make them citizens. and when they took off the uniform they again became wards of Uncle Sam. That strikes me as extremely unfair. and I hope that the chairman of this committee will find a place in thisbill to insert an amendment giving full United States citizenship to all Indians who served the United States in the late war.
