O TO VALIDATE CERTAIN CERTIFICATES OF NATURALIZATION GRANTED BY THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF HAWAII JANUARY 31, 1938.-Referred to the House Calendar and ordered to be printed Mr. KING, from the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany H. R. 7369] The Committee on Immigration and Naturalization, to whom was referred the bill (H. R. 7369) to validate certain certificates of naturalization granted by the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii, having considered the same, report it back to the House without amendment and recommend that the bill do pass. The purpose of this bill is to validate, insofar as the record does not contain orders of naturalization under the hand of the court, a large number of naturalizations which occurred in the United States district court at Honolulu during the period between January 1, 1919, and July 1, 1922. During the period named the persons referred to applied for naturalization and went through the usual procedure and received certificates of naturalization from the clerk of the court in the regular course of business. It was recently discovered that there had been an omission by the judge to sign orders of naturalization and investigation has disclosed that 1,461 persons have received certificates from the clerk of said court during that period without the orders being signed by the court. Many, if not all, of the individuals concerned are persons who performed honorable service in the armed forces of the United States during the World War and procured naturalization under the liberal terms extended to World War veterans. Some of the persons concerned are members of races ineligible for naturalization. As to such persons, however, Congress enacted on June 24, 1935, a law validating their naturalizations insofar as concerned their racial ineligibility. The 1935 act authorized the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization to endorse as valid the certificates of naturalization. The Commissioner, however, has concluded that the present state of ★2-3-38 the record of cases involved in the present bill does not warrant such endorsement. The effect of the enactment of the bill into law will operate to validate the status of the individuals concerned and place them where it was intended by the judge of the court that they should be placed at the time they were issued certificates of naturalization. The judge concerned has died since the naturalizations and the present judge has not felt that the situation is one which admits of judicial remedy. The persons to whom these certificates were issued are of course scattered to no one knows where and all sorts of complications will arise from time to time. The enactment of the provision will cure a situation created by an omission of a Government officer to perform an official act. The following letter from the Secretary of Labor indicates the necessity of enacting this bill into law as a measure of relief to those whose certificates of naturalization were not signed: Hon. SAMUEL DICKSTEIN, DECEMBER 31, 1937. Chairman, Immigration and Naturalization Committee, DEAR CONGRESSMAN DICKSTEIN: I have been asked to comment on H. R. 7369, a bill introduced by Delegate King of Hawaii, entitled "a bill to validate certain certificates of naturalization granted by the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii." The bill provides that all certificates of naturalization granted by the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii between January 1, 1919, and July 1, 1922, are declared valid insofar as the records fail to contain a judgment of naturalization by the court. The bill furthermore provides that such naturalizations shall not be further validated or legalized. The naturalization law provides that every final order upon a petition for naturalization shall be under the hand of the court. Notwithstanding such requirement, within the period described in the bill, there were numerous instances of applicants having proceeded in the court named toward naturalization and successfully, prosecuted their petitions and received certificates of naturalization, but for some reason not now known to the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the then judge of the court omitted to sign the orders of naturalization. The possibility of amendment of the defective record was presented to the present judge of the court concerned, but he concluded that should amendment be deemed necessary he was unwilling to do so at this late date. Many of the persons concerned are veterans of the World War who procured naturalization as persons who had performed military or naval service for the United States. Some of them were aliens who were ineligible for naturalization by reason of their race and, but for the fact that the court did not sign the order of naturalization, might have their certificates of naturalization validated in accordance with section 2 of the act of June 24, 1935 (49 Stat. 397). That section provides that certificates granted previous to the date of the act to alien veterans who were ineligible to citizenship because of race, were declared to be valid insofar as the race of the veteran was concerned and that such certificates might be validated by the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization upon application therefor. Applications by such individuals who received certificates of naturalization, but which certificates were not supported by a written court order, have of necessity been denied by the Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization pending either a judicial amendment of the record or curative legislation. Justice seems to warrant the relief proposed by the bill. Sincerely yours, O FRANCES PERKINS. 75TH CONGRESS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 3d Session { REPORT No. 1746 PROVIDING FOR THE LEASING OF LANDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF FURTHERING THE USE, IMPROVEMENT, AND DEVELOPMENT OF GRAZING DISTRICTS JANUARY 31, 1938.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union and ordered to be printed Mr. HILL of Washington, from the Committee on Public Lands, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany H.
