"American Naturalization and the Rights of Man"

Abstract

Author criticizes the head of the Naturalization Council in the U.S. as unrepresentative of Americans as a whole when he denied "Syrians" the right to American citizenship. He calls for changing the statute on which the decision is based as unworthy of the U.S. of the twentieth century. States that naturalization, like schooling, should be open to all who qualify, regardless of race, nationality, country or nation.
