Mr. Chairman. I shall address my remarks to title II. page 17. with reference to the provisions to naturalize men who have served in our Army: Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 303 and 326 of this act. any person not a citizen. regardless of age. who has served or hereafter serves honorably in the military or naval forces of the United States during the present war may be naturalized upon compliance with all of the requirements of the naturalization laws except that (1) no declaration of intention and no certificate of arrival and no period of residence within the United States or any State shall be required. Then turning over to page 19. section 702. we read: During the present war. any person entitled to naturalization under section 701 of this act. who while serving honorably in the military or naval forces of the United States is not within the jurisdiction of any court authorized to naturalize aliens. may be naturalized in accordance with all the applicable provisions of section 701 without appearing before a naturalization court. I shall not read the remaining part of this title. but I call the attention of the committee to the possible wide application of this provision. Its application can be very broad and cover a great deal. much more.
