I agree with this suggestion and I hope !the Chairman will also agree to an amendment providing that within 6 months or some other reasonable time after becoming of age. they shall take an oath of allegiance. be.cause I can see where such a child might not have the best interests of this country at heart and not be willing to take the oath of allegiance and perhaps would become a bad citizen. The equal nationality bill. as submitted by women. consisted of provisions on the above points which merely Sequalize the existing law. in order to establish at every point *the principle of equal nationality rights between men and * women citizens. The House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. in its judgment. decided to make. at the same time. certain changes in the laws themselves. The general principle of equality in nationality is what women seek to establish. Women feel that the fundamental principle of equality in nationality should not be sacrificed to differences *of opinion on these committee amendments.
