And in England the bill recently brought before the House of Commons provides for the restoration to British women who have married aliens of their British citizenship. II my opinion the rich American woman who marries a title and lives abroad should cease to have the privileges and benefits of an American citizen. and under my bill special provision is made that if she resides continuously for two years in the country of which her husband Is a citizen or subject. or resides continuously for five years abroad. she Is presumed to have ceased to be an American citizen. But tlere are many American girls who marry foreign born and who continue to reside in this country. Their loyalty and fidelity Is with the United States. Since the nineteenth amendment grants equal suffrage to women. so also should they have equal rights with reference to citizenship.
