indiscriminate or interested applications for certificates

of British nationality on the part of Chinese than legis-

who are often at a loss to decide whether or not a claimant

for protection be seeking to enjoy the privileges of a dual

nationality, inasmuch as it must be taken for granted that

such endeavour constitutes the real and only motive under-

lying the application.
