I am pleased to get the specific language in the Supreme Court decision. I was just going to give a couple of illustrations generally that have been used. that every Member of Congress is familiar with. and that ought to dispose of the entire question. The gentleman from Oklahoma has quoted from the decision of the Supreme Court with reference to one of the illustrations I was going to give. namely. where the Congress of the United States has used the State courts for the purpose of passing upon the very important question of naturalization. If you want another illustration which goes fully as far as that. I call your attention to what those of you who served here during the war did when you provided for draft boards throughout the country. and every one of you is familiar with the practice that existed in every county of the various States where local county officials were serving as members of the draft board.
