PEER PLEADS FOR WOMEN
::
WHO MARRY ALIENS "Treated as Chattels"
By WILLIAM BARKLEY
ORD ALNESS'S Bill to give equality of national.
Lo
status to women on marriage was dropped after debate in the House of Lords last month. The Goy- ernment are all in favour of it, but would not back it because they cannot get unanimity throughout the Empire.
Lord Alness denounced this attitude as "spineless, pusillani- mous and defeatist."
Just the same, although he had Socialist Parly support and the backing of two Conservative prera in their speeches, he withdrew the second reading-purtly because it is so late in the session.
He quoted many Government de- clarations in favour of this Dil, in- cluding one made at Geneva to the effect that married women's dis- abilitics In mutters of nationality should be removed, and that a mar- ried woman should be in the same position as a man or a sngle woman.
He said that in the last twenty years Russin, the United States and
China have altered their laws to

"Do the Government propose to sit with folded hands and let events drift?" he asked. "Or will they not summon another Imperial Confer- ence and put this question in the forefront of the agenda? Will the Government not give a lead.'
'ESPIONAGE'
He made these propositions: (1) To enjoy nationality in one's own person is a fundamental political right; (2) Nationality should not be
taken imposed on or

A French doctor living in Colo- gne, Germany, has discovered al- most-a-cure for the common cold -gel engaged.
Engaged couples, he says, are not Ilable to colds to anything like the same extent as other people.
The excitement, he believes, bullds up the resistance of the body to the attacks of germs,
