The America nization craze is re- sponsFDle for the lower standard In the education of aliens presenting themsefves for naturalization, declared Allan F. Church of Boston, during a recess of tho United States district court which was ip session in Hartford last week for natural iEation work. Mr. Church, as chief exam iner in this district Of the immigration d=a- partment for the United States is ire quehtIy in Norwich for examination work with those who are making application for naturalization.r and he attends the natur- a1ization sessions of the superior court here. In the past few years he has ex- adnined thousands of Connecticut aliens for admission to citizenship.
 'The rush for citizenship started with the war;" continued Mir. Church, At that
 time there was a trend toward the Ameri- canization of all foreigners and this Americanization movement was extended to the factories with the result that there has been more than 100 per cent. increase u naturalization work since the war at a
 great lsss of time to the courts and the ex- aniner.''
 Mir. Church declared that before the war when an alien on his own accord de sired to become Q citizen, he would study up the principles of American government and when he presented himself for exam nation he invariably was able to pass the required tests. Under the present condi- tions he is urged to Become a citizen prin- cipally by manufacturers and other en- ployers of labor under the impression that American citizens make the better en-
 ployes and have a sense Of responsibility that impels them to remain on the job
 The employees, on their part. also get the notion that unless they become citizens fheV will lose their ioAlS
 'The result is." said MT Church, 'that aliens are Hooking to the courts to be nat \ uralized under the spurring on of theil l employers. Many of them can neither read nor write but are drilled in the few questions that may be asked by the exam iner, in the expectation that they ma! possibly get through. This cannot bu lower the standards Of citizenship for ther 1 appears to be little actual study on tn 1 part of the applicants that was so notice

SAYS .AMERICANIzATION URGING E
 LOWERING NATURALIZATION STANDARDS

ships meant better jobs or from some oih- CT cause, the much greater nunEoer of aliens than usual applying for citizenship has been apparent at the office Of the su- perior court for New London county. In the past few months there have been more aEi2lications for first papers than before ID a long time.
 One Standardization director in the state said that while the lower standard of education was becoming quite notice able among aliens making application for citizenship, he believed that the under lying reason was that they believed work could be better obtained by American citizens than by aliens. He said that his experience had been that the completely illiterate class of aliens which had hith- erto drifted along without any desire of becoming American citizens. had now. un- der the stress of continued unenploy- nneat, come to believe that an American citizen could get a job where an alien | could not and therefore sought naturali- zation. He said that the lower mentality of applicants for naturalization was be- l coming increasingly manifest and cited l some of the answers given by prospective | citizens to the naturalization question naire as proof Of the fact. As evidence of the fact that persons wholly unprepafed for the responsibilities of citizenship are attempting to become naturalized, the following transcript ol questions and answers Is taken from the record of an applicant who had been 1T this country thirty-two years:

Bank Street Parking Experiment..

New London is to try the experiment of allowing automobiles to stop for a short period on the east side of Bank street while anyone from the car is ;n a store actually engaged in shopping. The city ordinances allow parking on the west side of the street but forbid it on the east side. The announced plan is not intend ed to be a repeal of the parking law but is merely a privilege that is granted for time until it can be seen how the plan works Police officers will watch the ef- feet of stopping machines on the easterly side of the street and wild make report to the chief of police. However, the mo- parking regulation will be enforced in case anyone leaves car on that side of the street when not engaged in any one of the stores
