On the other hand. Mr. Chairman. under our Constitution and our naturalization laws the United States recognizes the right of women to become citizens in their own right. independently of whatever the citizenship may be of their husbands. In other words. women in the United States do not. under our law. lose their United States citizenship by marriage to an alien. neither do they gain United States citizenship by marriage to a citizen. I do not see any logical reason why we should continue an unequal policy which is to give certain rights to men who are citizens while the same rights are withheld from women who are citizens in their own right.
