Mr. Chairman. the conditions in regard to naturalization in the city of New York. as far as providing sufficient efficient machinery for aliens to become either declarants or citizens. has reached a point where it is most highly deplorable. Only a week ago the clerk of the supreme court and of the county of New York had to announce that he had to shut down for over a week accepting applications. because the Government of the United States. through its Naturalization Bureau. had failed to provide sufficient money. The responsibility rests upon Congress and not upon that bureau. however. It may be of some interest to the House to learn what the Naturalization Burev.: has been doing. Let me read the following statistics: Declarations of intention and etitions for naturalization filed in Greater Neo York during the fiscal year 1920. Declara- Peti. tion3. tion3.
