The United States with great nberality offers
Is citizenship to all who In good faith comply /
With the requirements of law. These require /
nents are as simple and upon as favorable
erms to the emigrant as the high privilege to |
o not propose any additional requirements TO
hose which the law now demands,
nj the very simplicity and want of necessary
ormality In our law have made fraudulent nat
raIization not iHfrequent, to the discredit and |
injury Of all honest citizens, whether native or
ally being brought to The Notice OF the govern
nent by eur represen tatives abroad and also by
ersons resident In other countries. Most ire

ave remained In this country long enough TO
ntitle them to become naturalized. and have
ave returned to the country of their origin,
there they reside, avoiding all duties 70 the
Inited States by their absence, and claiming
the country Of their nationality and of tnes
esidence by reason Of their alleged naturaliEa-
