I hope the gentleman from California will hear an explanation. I appreciate the force of the objection he is making that naturaization affairs should be considered by the Naturalization Committee. but I beg leave to say that this has nothing to do with naturalization. it is a question purely of the administrative side of the coprt and the accounting of the clerks. The clerk has to hold certain money that was formerly applied as fees. and instead of that we provide that those fees shall be paid into the Treasury of the United States. I want to say that this bill has the approval of the court. it has the approval of the American Bar Association. it has the approval of the Department of Justice. and these are all a series of bills devised by the Clerks Association of the United States District Courts to clear up their accounting system and enable them to discharge their work with greater facility. It does not change the naturalization law a particle. it does not change anything connected with naturalization. and it belongs exclusively to the province of the Committee on the Judiciary to pass on questions of this kind.
