Mr. President. that is not all. We used to have many of. our naturalization cases attended to in the State court. I well remember a battle I had in this Chamber when I first came into the Senate. 12 or 14 years ago. a battle with my then colleague. the distinguished Senator WADSWORTH. now a Member of the House of Representatives. The State court judges in New York are usually Democrats. Our Republican friends did not like to have naturalization take place in courts presided over by Democratic judges. and so they passed a law providing that naturalization cases could not be taken any more to the State courts. but must be taken care of in Federal courts. So. for a few years the Federal courts in New York were crowded with naturalization cases. Let me call attention to the fact that in 1928 there were 38.298 naturalization cases passed on in the Federal courts of New York. We do not have any such numbers any more. The Senator from North Carolina and the Senator from Georgia. or at least their predecessors. have seen to it that not so many people come to the United States.
