I think the Senator will find the fact to be this: When the applicant for naturalization fills out the long list of questions they must be reviewed by the Federal department of naturalization before they are presented to the court. That is obviously nhcessary. for many reasons. Under the old practice the applicant filled out the answers to all of these questions. largely clerical. before the clerk of tile State court. and then he went over to the Federal department and had it reviewed and looked at. and then it went back to the State court for final action. Under this plan. which has been in operation for the last year. the filling out of those blanksthousands of them. emaploying a number of clerks and assistantsis done In the Federal naturalization office in the first place. and the blanks go from the Federal naturalization office directly to the State court which is to consider them. Of course. the Senator knows that either the State courts. being courts of record. or the United States courts. can naturalize. In New York City the majority of the naturalization. I think. is through the State courts.
