Mn SWIFT. one Of the Commits stoners who
negotiated thu Chinese Treaty, hns explained
to reporter that 1t does not in any yay tettd
IN confer tho right Of naturalization Upon
Chinese. Naturalization Is nowhere n treaty

al'zatton Is Kept by every country rs q

AS to lhe objection that tlle word "lal,orer"

there II nothing IN 1t. Congress has the
power to construe the word decIsiveiy. It
