I observe that the notation on the bill states that it was " reported by Mr. COPELAND ." This bill was considered by the committee and is presented at the request of the Naturalization Bureau of the Department of Labor. The law now requires that every alien who wants to become a citizen must obtain a certificate of arrival. and this is presented at the time of his declaration. There are a good many people who are here lawfully who have not the certificate. particularly those who went through Montreal. down at Rouses Point. and other places. and Mr. Crist and others of the Bureau of Naturalization consider that this bill is a very necessary one to complete the work of haturalization.
