The whole alien question is presently so complicated that we do not know where we are going. We must have a strong arm on the battlefield and on the oceans. we must also have a strong united country. and. if necessary. make strong even those who are not yet citizens of the United States but who are more than willing to be when the proper time comes and who on the other hand are ready to serve this country. if necessary. and give up their lives in its defense. I should like to have the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization make this study. and I hope and trust the House will be receptive to this resolution which we all feel is most urgent and necessary at this time. We have to take stock in this country. We have to find out now who are the alien enemies and who are the good aliens and separate them.
