Mr. Speaker. the trouble in all of these matters is that I find people that can write a book about an alien who never saw an alien. I know people on the other hand that speak about naturalization who have never been in a naturalization court. In 1929 under the old law the fee charged by the Government was $5 to become a citizen of the United States. In 1929 the administration thought there was a good chance to make more money from the alien. so they jammed through a bill jacking the naturalization fee up to $20. You even had to pay $10 for a certified copy of a document that cost about 10 cents. In other words. the Government has been making several million dollars profit on the aliens. in spite of the fact that we have had a very serious depression.
