Mr. Speaker. now that we are at war. searching scrutiny of aliens in this country is desirable. Action -against- undesirable aliens is necessary. Certainly -however. no -intemperate word or hasty action should.be spoken or taken against those individuals of alien origin living inthe United States as loyal naturalized citizens. In my congressional district In West Virginia there are thousands of persons of Italian parentage and descent. and also many other nationalities. They are patriotic. This Congress and the country should realize that now we must have the fullest cooperation of naturalized and nativeborn citizens. The words. of Washington. spoken more than a century and a- half ago. can be given renewed meaning and vigor: Citizens by birth or choice of. a common country. that country has the right to concentrate your affections. A responsibility Is Implied as well as a right.
