OPINIONS

OF

HON. WILLIAM D. MITCHELL, OF MINNESOTA

Seamen who have filed their declarations of intention to become citizens of the United States and have served three years upon merchant vessels of the United States of more than twenty tons burden, are deemed citizens of the United States within the requirements of section 405 (c) of the Merchant Marine Act, 1928 (45 Stat. 693).

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
March 12, 1929.

The pertinent portion of that section reads as follows:

"405 (c). from and after the enactment of this Act and for a period of four years, upon each departure from the United States of a vessel employed in ocean mail service
