We have become landlords to ghosts. When this bill was passedby the House it was a good bill. It was unanimously adopted. All it did was to prescribe the following: That there should be no discrimination when it comes to naturalization on the basis of race. so that those abiding aliens who were in this country who happened to be born in foreign climes. particularly in Asia. would have the right to become naturalized citizens. That was a good provision. but when it got to the Senate there were saddled on provisions which to my mind are an abomination. Those provisions enlisted the Presidential veto.
