It was announced in public places that unless people voted they would be deprived of all government services. which of course meant ration coupons. and it meant that the Italian Government would not entertain any of their requests to have their papers put in shape so that they could return to the United States. The tragic part of this whole situation comes from the fact that over 80 percent of the people affected were born in the United States. Under the law. if the person returns to the country of his nativity after he has been naturalized and remains there for 2 years. he loses his citizenship for that reason. This measure is therefore for the benefit almost entirely of nativeborn American citizens.
