While congress is apparently pre-

and examination of immigrants on the
other side of the ocean, certain re-

Judge D. Lawrence Grorer, of the
United States District Court for East
ern Virginia, in admitting alien-born
to American citizenship, are especial
" timely. Possibly Judge Grorer had
in mind the pertinent comment Of
the President in his message to Con-
