Speaker. reserving the right to object. this is one of those bills which tries to state that the war started September 1. 1939. as far as the United States is concerned. I have previously given notice that I would object to that provision in any legislation. If any member of the Committee on Immigration is present who can accept an amendment to strike out September 1. 1939. and insert in lieu thereof "After September 16. 1940." which is the date of the draft. I will be glad to offer such an amendment and withdraw my objection to the passage of the bill. It would change the wording to make it coincident with the draft.
