HOUSE STUDIES
BILL OPPOSING
WAR OATH BAR
Removal of Arms Pledge
Question for Aliens
Being Considered.

BIZ Scripps-Hoic0rd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 8. - The
house immigration committee today
began consideration Of legislation to
amend the naturalization laws so
that conscientious DIRECTORS to war
may become citizens of the United
States.
Two days after the United States
supreme court denied Rosika Schwi-
mer the right of citizenship. Repre-
sentative Anthony j. Griffin Of New
York introduced a bill adding this
language to the naturalization laws:
Except that no person mentally,
morally, and otherwise qualified
shall be debarred from citizenship
by reason Of his or her religious or
philosophical opinions With regard
TO the lawfulness of war as a means
of settling international disputes"
Griffin says congress never intend
ed the present law to be interpreted
as it has been in the past.
The naturalization bureau gra-
tuitously has interpolated this
blood sacrifice requirement" says
Griffin. This is meddlesome in
reference with the act of congress,
to which I object. Congress has pre-
scribed the form of oath and that,
in my opinion is sufficient to test
the goodwill of the applicant for
citizenship.
When citizens are examined for
naturalization they are presented
with a QUESTIONABLE. Question %
contains the oath to support and
defend the Constitution Then fol-
lows the unauthorized question:
If necessary are you willing to
take up arms in defense of this
country?'
The whole theory of this sort Of
inquisition is silly. The average
thoughtless applicant answers yes
because he thinks that is the answer
expected. The question traps only
the intelligent, the thoughtful, the
deeply religious and sincerely con-
Scientious people who have perfectly
honorable theories on the subject of
war"
