THE ALIEN PROBLEM.
STATEMENT BY HOME OFFICE.
The following statement was issued. from the Home Office on July 24th-
The Home Secretary received a deputa tion on July 2ard from a number of societies interested in questions regarding the naturalisation and admission of aliens to this country. The deputation was introduced by Lord Queenborough, and speeches were made by Lady Syden hat, representing the British Women's Patriotic League, Dr. Wansey Bayly, re- presenting the Workers' Liberty and Em ployment League,' and. Me: Arthur | Kitson, representing the Banking Reform Leagues The depatation, handed in a short memorial praying for the amend- meat of the British Nationality and Status of Alicus Act, 1914, to make more stringent the conditions under which certificates of naturalisation may be granted. It was urged that the grant of British citizenship should only be given to aliens having long and meritorious residence in this country, and then only after the inost search- ing inquiries into their moral and £nancial status. It was suggested that: aliens and naturalised persons form a very large proportion of the criminal- population of this country; that many of them are being maintained at the coun try's expense, whether in hospitals,

When one side doubtless had a most excellent effect, and of the river has been worked out, the all disputes are settled by the miners water is turned back into it and work be-themselves."
In reply, the Home Secretary, said he entirely agreed that British nationality was gift not lightly, to be conferred; but he thought that the deputation did not quite realise the manner in which the alien laws of this country were adminis tered. The present position was that no alien could be naturalised unless he bad had at least five yours' residence in the British Empire; in actual practice this. average duration of residence of aliens naturalised during his term of office was made in excess of that period. He could not agree that any distinction should be made, for naturalisation purposes; be-- tween residence in England and residence elsewhere in the Empire. He was strongly on, the side of Imperial unity, and any such distipetion would serve to divide rather than to unite the Empire, Apart from residence qualification, he had to b. satisfied before signing any certificate of naturalisation that it was in the in- terests of the country that the applicant should become a British citizen.
