COONLEY: For several years I have been Interested in the problems arising from the alien influence in the United States. Looking toward a partial approach to this problem. I have introduced a bill in the House of Representatives which contains the following language: "A bill to provide for deportation of certain aliens who do not make declaration of intention to become citizens "Be it enacted. etc.. That any alien who does not make his declaration to become a citizen of the United States within 1 year after he becomes eligible to make such declaration. or within 1 year after the date of the enactment of this act. whichever is the later. shall be taken into custody and deported by the Secretary of Labor in accordance with provisions of law relating to other deportable aliens." The foregoing is by way of introduction for a suggestion which I now make to you as president of the National Association of Manufacturers. I believe it would be of invaluable assistance if. through your organization. you could impress upon the manufacturers in America the vital necessity of employing only American citizens and separating from their jobs those individuals who are not citizens of this country. Alien workers who now live in the United States and accept the privileges. the profits. and the protection of our democracy. but accept no responsibility of citizenship. should not hold jobs in Americah industry.
