President Endorses
Measure toCodiN
NationaIifyLaws
Legislation May Serve
To Curb Fifth Column,
Roosevelt Points Out

President Roosevelt, in q letter
to Chairman SABBATH Of the House
Rules Committee, made public yes
terday, strongly Endorsed the bill
now pending in Congress to codify
the nationality laws Of the United
States.
1.-THE opinion is entertained in
some quarters that its enactment
might serve to curb fifth column
activities" the President pointed
out.
Favorably reported by the Com
mittee on immigration and Natural
ization IN June, the measure prob
ably will be taken up by the House
this week. The bill has been ap-
proved by the State Department,
the Departments Of Justice, La
Dor. War and Navy as a national
defense measure.
In his letter to Chairman SABBATH
the President said in part:
1T seems to me the following
facts should be given great weight.
For several years the importance
Of such legislation has been rec
ognized. I think it was during the
first year of my administration that
requested the Departments of
State, Justice and Labor to UNDER
take the preparation Of such a meas
ure. In compliance with my re-
quest, the oficials of the depart
ments named have done q great
deal of work and those departments
now urge its enactment, and this
also appears to be the attitude of
the Committee on immigration and
Naturalization, which has reported
the bill. Furthermore, it is stated
that there is no opposition to the
bill. In addition, I am informed
that the opinion is entertained in
some quarters that its enactment
might serve to curb certain fifth
column activities"
First Attempts at Codification.
The proposed legislation repre-
sents the first attempt at codifica.
ton of nationality law that has been
considered by Congress during the
last IS years. 1t brings together,
in a single code. all the statutes
of the United States relating to ma
tionality. 1t seeks to close existing
loopholes and remove conflicts and
antiquities in the present law.
Under the bill, a naturalized cit
izen who returns to his native coun-
try, and who remains there two
years automatically loses his United
States nationality, If by the law Of
his native land he regains his for
mer nationality. If he remains in
his native land three years, or in
any other foreign country five years
he will lose his United States ma
tionality, subject to certain excep-
tons, such as i'll health or employ.

The provisions relating to loss of

Terminated by U. ).
ny the Associsted Press.


The State Department announced
yesterday that the United States
had agreed to terminate It's re-
ownership of the Dominican Repub-
lie customs revenues and restore to
that nation the privilege of handling
collection of the approximately 81
100000 annual intake from duties.
In turn, the Dominican govern
ment agreed to give the United
States first lien on total revenues
of the Dominican government, a
figure roughly estimated at $l2,-
100000.
The department announced that
the agreement was reached in
Ciudad Trujillo by a United States
commission headed by Ambassador
Hugh Wilson and a Dominican
commission headed by Arturo De-
Spradel, Minister OF Foreign Affairs.
The agreement, embodied in a
convention, terminates the conven-
ton Of 1924 by which the United
States assumed general receiver
ship of customs in order to guar
antee the servicing of the Domin-
lean Republics external debt of 1922
and 1925, computed at SIS, 400 900.

allied citizens may retain their citi-
zenship although they have long
