Last Thursday I had the pleasure of having. Secretary of Labor Davis in New York. He visited tile same schools which the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization visited two years ago. He was very agreeably surprised at what the children of Schools 83 and 101. Manhattan. showed him in Americanization work and their studies. le made certain inquiries along lines involving citizenship. and he put the question to 3.000 girls as to whether they thought there should be separate citizenship for the women. and. lo and behold. he got a unanimous vote in its favor. In the evening lie spoke in the Institutional Synagogue Auditorium to 522 citizens vho have become naturalized during the past few weeks and to 500 other American citizens. Altogether it seems to me that the time has come to cross the bridge and courageously fight the battle for intelligent citizenship. For that reason I feel that this bill deserves to receive the support of every Member of this House.
