Thus we would not tolerate a claim of German nationality in the case of the child born of an American citizen father and a German mother. Why. then. should we undertake to assert a claim of American nationality in the case of the child born of an American mother and a German father unless such child is born within the United States? The entire question is so intricate and technical that it deserves long and patient study. which apparently was not given in the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization before the bill was reported 11 months ago. In the meantime the President has set up an interdepartmental nationality committee. which the Secretary of State says will be ready shortly to submit its report and recommendations. Now. in the face of this. and the study that is being made under the instructions cf the President. what is the great haste in putting this resolution through at this time?
