President. I hope the bill may be passed. It will give relief to a great many aliens who are anxious to be naturalized and become American citizens but are deprived of this privilege because of a requirement in the present law that they produce with their application a certificate of entry. In many cases these have been lost or no records were kept. This bill provides that tie Commissioner General of Immigration shall have discretionary power to register and give a certificate to aliens of good moral character who are not subject to deportation and who have entered the country prior to July 1. 1924. A somewhat similar bill was introduced by me but the pending bill is more comprehensive.
