I doubt that that will ever come about. in fact. until In some instances those department heads themselves are changed. That Communists are in these departments must be recognized from the fact of the issuance of the Presidents order alone. Returning to the figure of registration of 5.009.857 aliens. the Immigration Service estimates that this alien population decreased. as of July 1. 1946. to an estimated $3.050.000 aliens. as a result of naturalization. emigration from this country. and death. There was a rush for naturalization after the Registration Act became law. and 1.437.000 of the 1940 aliens had been rushed through citizenship mills between the beginning of 1941 and July 1. 1946. Just how good citizens these 1.437.000 hastily approved persons will become remains to be seen. They did not desire citizenship until they were revealed to be living here within this haven while maintaining their allegiance to their native countries.
