"ALIEN" BRITISH

WOMEN

An old grievance that specially demands redress in the present state "of Europe was raised by the National Women Citizens' Associà- tion recently..

It is that of the British woman who, by reason of her marriage to a foreigner, finds herself deprived of British litizenship and all the rights that 'ko with it. She has suffered this disability only since 1870, and there has been more of less contuous agitation or its" removal ever since.

It deprives her right to vote and of any form of State pension, and it may render her lable to police supervision as an allen. These are indignities enough in her Qwx country.

Protection

It she travels sne is entirely without the protection that British nationality would give her. If, as; may often happen in these days. she marries a refugee who has lost his own citizenship she may find herself entirely Stateless.

Such marriages are often con- tracted without knowledge of the hardship they will entail. There ought to be no hardship. Lord Alness last year introduced a Bill that would enable British women
