The sons and daughters of others are today in the vanguard of Americas progress. Yet. these same cleanliving people of America cannot become citizens unless they pass an examination that would probably flunk a highschool graduate or perhaps a college graduate. If the only requirements for citizenship were contributions to national wealth through honest labor and love for democracy. almost all of our noncitizens could easily become citizens. There are thousands of people in the United States who have made application for their first and second papers. but who failed to pass the examination. In making application they renounced allegiance to their native countries. and yet they are not citizens of the United States. They love America. they belong to America. they are willing to fight to defend America and keep it democratic and free. so why deny them citizenship? What is needed as well as tanks and planes is a united people. I wish to state that I am heartily in favor of this legislation which would give relief from stringent naturalization laws and would encourage naturalization.
