So we have no politics in common. We have worked together in Americanization work. I know how hard Judge Cotillo has worked at it. and that he has put his whole heart into it. and I know that many times the gentleman from Washington . chairman of the Committee on Immigration. has conferred with Judge Cotillo. so I was very much surprised at the statement made by the gentleman from Washington. Now. it was also stated that 10.000 were to be naturalized in New York. That does not mean that they are going to be rushed through the mill. but it means that the Federal Government. the Naturalization Bureau. are 10.000 behind in their work. Now. some interest was aroused by my colleague from New York I.Mr. CELLER] in giving questions that were asked immigrants. There are questions asked applicants for citizenship by examiners that not a Member of this House could answer. If there is one man here who can tell right off who the Governor of New York was at the time of Lincolns second inauguration I would like to hear it.
