LONDON (U.P.),-British women who marry alien should have the right of retaining their British nationality according to Miss Ellen Wilkinson, Labour Member of Par. liament, who recently introduced a Bill to this effect.

Miss Wilkinson told the United Press that she was in possession of a great number of letters citing cases of grave injustices which had resulted through the workingy of the present law.

Her Bill provided for the follow. ing':

(1) British women who mar riad foreigners should not lose their nationality unless they made a declaration saying they wished to do so.

(2) Foreign women who mar- ried Britiefiers should be allowed to retain their own nationality if they wished but the process of naturalizaion should be made simple if they desired to become British subjects.
