I speak not only for myself as one of the members of the committee but for other members as well. It is said that this is drastic legislation. We cannot understand how any legislation could be drastic that requires a naturalized citizen to be for America always. not only in time of war but in time of peace. We also believe that any naturalized citizen who is opposed to this measure is not and cannot be a good American. To make this law apply only in time of war. to make a man be a good citizen during time of war but not in time of peace. and to let him inveigh against. this country in time of peace seems to me to be silly. It is just like making a New Years resolution good for the day. or a Hitler treaty.

Generalizing that naturalized citizens who oppose a measure requiring them to be 'for America always' cannot be good Americans.
