Mr. Speaker. this is an open rule making in order the bill H. R. 2207. which is a bill unanimously reported from the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization and which has had the closest scrutiny 1y many of the Members of this House who are so zealous in guarding the rights and privileges of this country on the question of immigration. The distinguished gentleman from Texas . a member of the Rules Committee. reported this rule and is favorably inclined to the bill. The bill. in brief. provides that when these boys. many of whom are of tender age. go over to the fighting fronts and on a sudden impulse desert the armed forces temporarily. they may be reinstated or prevented from losing their citizenship which they would ordinarily lose under the previous statute.
