It has not been possible to ascertain the total number of aliens who served in the armed forces of the United States during the World War. as no such record was kept by the Army and the Navy. The statistics of the War and Navy Departments merely show the entire number of aliens who were registered and classified under the provisions of the Selective Service Law. and do not show how many aliens were actually inducted Into service. Nor has the Labor Department any data showing the number of aliens who so served. or who have not been naturalized. and who. therefore. would be eligible for citizenship under the provisions of this bill. However. it has been generally estimated that there are at least 250.000 alien veterans who would benefit if this bill is enacted into law.
