As I recall. Mr. Harry Bridges has filed declarations but never completed them in the manner required by the immigration laws. I understand that under the suggestion of the Senator from Kentucky. all that would be necessary for an alien to do would be to file a declaration. then he would be on the same footing as an American citizen. although he might not pursue his declaration any further. I can see some merit to the position that an alien who has already filed a declaration on the day of the passage of this act might be put on the same footing as an American citizen. but certainly if we should adopt the amendment of the Senator from Kentucky the amendment of the Senator from North Carolina would have no practical effect.
