exemption from draft Of aliens who
have declared their intention o. be,
coming citizens win be needed by the
authorities. This protest, strongly OK
pressed BY Bestnnians. has beer
deemed worthy OF discussion by this
Cabinet. No idea should be gained thai
the feeling on this matter Is confined
to New England II exists just as
strongly here. and doubtless is preva
lent IN other sections.
These aliens are individuals who
have lived for a considerable period
Of time IN the United states They
have enjoyed the benefits OF our in
stitutions, the protection of our laws.
They have expressed the intention OF
becoming citizens of this country By
taking out first papers OF citizenship.
Though not full citizens technically,
not citizens at all-they have yet
shown the purpose OF relinquishing
their former allegiance and Of assum-
ing citizenship as soon as time per,
mits They have indicated their
appreciation OF the value OF it,
first. by coming here; second, by
their application for first papers.
The logic of the situation
seems to be, for them as well as for
born Americans, that what is worth
having is worth fighting for.
There is a difference OF opinion
among officials on this issue Secretary
Lansing Is said to believe that to
draft these men would bring about
complications with foreign govern
ments Attorney General Gregory, on
the other hand, appears to hold that
they Should be conscripted. No fine
