The approlaiation will be found on the bottom of page 91. $680.000. for this work all over the country. That is $42.000 more than the appropriation for the present fiscal year. The Commissioner of Naturalization. upon being asked about the matter before the Committee on Appropriations. admitted that that sum. spread over the country. treating the different centers of population as fairly and equally as possible. is not enough immediately to enable him to catch up. but he Is forbidden by law to ask the Appropriations Committee for a larger appropriation. He did prove to the committee. however. that the system now in vogue in New York City has worked better than any prior system did. and the Secretary of Labor sent him up to the committee to say that very thing. He was sent at the request of the committee to find out the truth. and the Secretary of Labor sent. his own Commissioner of.Naturalization. The system now in vogue in New York City was Installed by the Secretary of Labor a year ago. after an exhaustive examination of the machinery of naturalization. It has proved a distinct improvement over the old system. which my colleague. the junior Senator from New York. wants to have restored. That is the truth about the matter.
