Hon. Colonial Secretary,

The question of Colonial Naturalization is
in a most confused state (see Chapter XV of Part I of "Nation- -ality"). I cannot advise legislation on the subject of children of naturalized persons, without reference home. I have great doubt whether such an Ordinance would fall within s. 16 of the Act of 1870, which governs Colonial Legislation on the subject. As I say the subject is in such a confused state that it is impossible to express a definite opinion on the point. But that in theory the children of Chinese who become naturalized should have the national status of their father I have no doubt. But at the same time I doubt whether such an Ordinance could be so drafted as to fit in with the confused state of English Law generally as to naturalization.
