That is quite true. but the same difficulty exists under the law at the present time. because there are some 58 different countries where women are entitled to retain their nationality after marriage to a foreigner and there is presented the same problem of dual nationality. That difficulty applies to men and women alike. and is a matter that can be ironed out only. by treaty. but while we are waiting for the necessary treaty or treaties to be negotiated. shall we sit inertly and supinely by and allow the inequalities in the present law to continue? I can cite you letters that came from the State Department to the Naturalization Committee over the last few years. They came to the Seventysecond Congress and they came to. the special session of the Seventythird Congress. stating that we should not now modify the nationality laws because a special commission had been appointed to study the matter. that we should wait instead of correcting these inequalities at once. We might have to wait 10 years before the commission reported its recommendations.
