Department does not do that excepting in so far as it relates to the protection of citizens while they are in foreign countries. and still leaves to them all of the rights as citizens that the property and inheritance laws of this country and the various States of this country may confer upon them. The criticism that I have of this section is that it does take away from this class of citizens the individual rights that pertain to citizenship in this country. I believe that the practice of tile State Department ought to be enacted into law. and if section "- could be so refrained as to provide that with men who have gone abroad. native as well as naturalized. who have lived abroad live years. at least. showing no evidence of returning. the State Department is not required to afford the usual protection of citizens.
