Ellis Island or San Francisco. or be it where it may. are admitted as American citizens. whereas the white child of the nativeborn American woman married to the Britisher is held back and is called an "alien." Because of the inequality of the present law. that child derives the citizenship of the alien father. even though the mother is a nativeborn white American citizen. The committee has studied this bill for over a year. As a matter of fact. we requested the various departments and the President to call into conference the various group leaders in this administration to study the inequality and the hardships of the naturalization laws. and I am glad to say that the various departments have withdrawn their objection upon realizing the hopeless inequality between male and female citizens.
