C. A. Ramsey, Government Natural
ization Examiner, spent Saturday il
examining records in Circuit Clerl
Heifner's office. His purpose was t.
look up the records of certain appli
cants for registration. The govern
} ment is apparently preparing t
tighten up on naturalization proceed
ings in the future. If such is the case
then it will be as it should. The sys
tenn that has been in vogue in the past
) of permitting foreigners to come int,
this country, regardless of whether o
not they become citizens, and evel
permitting them to continue to speal
their native language exclusively
should be obliterated. Foreigners al
ready here should be required to adop
) the English language, and no NOR
should be permitted to come to thi
country.
