Conditions of course have changed since 1940. and there will be many abroad who by subterfuge will be trying to come to the United States. Among other provisions. I am concerned about this language in the bill: "By his own voluntary act." The sentence being: "Has not theretofore expatriated himself as a citizen of the United States by his own voluntary act." Suppose a young mans parents had gone to German and been naturalized in Germany. that when he had reached the age of 21 he became a national of Germany but contended it was not his voluntary act. that he was forced into it in order. to save his life. Could he not make the plea that becoming a national of Germany was not his voluntary act. therefore he would be admissible to enter this country?
