I do not think so. under the theory thdt belligerents have an- entirely different status than neutrals. and therefore we might leave out of consideration entirely the citizens of belligerents in dealing with citizens of neutral countries. I will read the provision of the treaty with Norway. for example. as that has been referred to: Citizens of the United States of America who have resided in Sweden or Norway for a continuous period of at least five years. and during such residence have become and are lawfully recognized ascitizens of Sweden or Norway. shall be held by the Government of the United States to be Swedish or Norwegian citizens and shall be treated as such. In other words. if our citizens choose to take advantage of the Swedish or Norwegian naturalization laws. we simply recognize their right of expatriation. that is all.
