eliminated under present law--the
great majority of whom are Japan
ese-- Is complete refutation of any
unsupported suggestion that natu-
ralization and immigration should
not be open to these people.
Ennis said it should be beyond
any serious debate" that all persons
living In this country should have
a chance to become citizens without
being barred by their national orr
gin or race" He made 1t clear, how
ever, that in lifting race barriers,
Congress still would require all a
liens to fulfill other requirements of
loyalty and character
He added:
THE extension OF the privilege of
naturalization and limited immi-
grafton to the remaining classes of
Orientals now barred will not in
crease the degree of Communist or
other subversive activity In the u
nited States. In the first place eff
fective subversive activity here has
not come from this group, but from
groups which have always been ra-
cially eligible for naturalization and
immigration
In general. Ennis testimony CO.
incided with previous statements by
the Department of State and the
JACL Anti-Discrimination Commit
tee.
His final observation was that e.
quality in immigration and natura-
lization would make it clear that
loyalty Is not matter OF color but
of individual conviction.
