Now. Mr. President. one more: During the war Congress passed a law by Which all aliens who were � lien serving in the military or naval forces of the United States could be expeditiously naturalized in any convenient court upon the presenta. tion of their honorable discharges. That law expired by limitation on March 3. 1924.. The limitation was placed in the law by the -sundry civil appropriation act of July 19. 1919. for -the reason that somie of the privileges of the law expired with the termination of the war. The act of July 19. 1919. extended the privileges for one year after the return of all of the soldiers sent to .Europe.
