The Senator is laboring -under a misapprehension in one respect. I chance to be a member of both the committees to which he has referred. This bill was fully considered by the Committee on Immigration. to which it very properly belongs. The situation with reference to the inhabitants of these islands is particularly unfortunate. so far as citizenship is concerned. They came into the United States with great enthusiasm in 1917. They are now. so to speak. people without a country. They are not citizens of the United States or of Denmark. or of any place.and the purpose of this bill is. under very carefully prepared restrictions. to grant them citizenship.
