ALIENS TO BE
AMERICANIZED
DKNVKIt. Dec. 2X. The American
ization of aliens of the Ilocky Moun
tain region is the objective of an
j undertaking begun a short time ago
untier the direction of Paul Arm
strong, chief naturalization examiner
of the district.
The work will be carried on in
j Colorado, New Mexico. Idaho, Utah
and Wyoming, states in the district,
the examiner and his staff having
I charge of the movement in the five
| states. It is part, of a nation-wide
j movement to bring the subject of
j Americanism clearly before resident
aliens.
The workers will go to factories
and shops employing aliens and make
arrangements with officials to have
them informed of their desire that
j they make application for citizenship.
! In making application aliens in the
j [last sometimes had to go to better
j educated countrymen for help. The
] workers will relieve them of this tie
cessity.
Another fact that has been deter
rent to many aliens becoming citi
zens is that they had to lose a day's
wttges to tile their "first papers." as
filings could lie made only in daytime.
To overcome this the clerk of the
federal district court here will open
his office in the evening to receive
these papers.
