I am for economy. I am against appropriating money unnecessarily and am not interested in creating jobs for applicants who might be recognized or appointed by the Republican administration. But I am interested in making it possible for deserving men and women to be naturalized. We hear that the foreignborn people in our country will not naturalize. They are charged with negligence. yes. with indifference. Only a few minutes ago the gentleman from Ohio stated that there were 14.000.000 foreign born in the United States and most of them were not naturalized. I believe that we should afford them an opportunity to become citizens if they are entitled to it. and the only way we can ascertain whether they are entitled to be naturalized is by proper investigation and examination. I am not in favor of making anyone a citizen unless I believe he is deserving of American citizenship. As to the continuous publicity as to the numbers who are not citizens. I want to say to the gentleman from Ohio and to the other gentlemen that we have in this country 13.713.000 foreign born.
