cannot be classed as possessing dual
nationality and are not considered
liable to military service under for

clear in statement issued today.
While the United States always

the existence of dual nationality in
the case of children born in the
United States Of alien parents or chill
dren born in a foreign country Of
American parents, it does not concede
that dual nationality exists in case of
a foreign born parent who has nc-
CURED naturalization as a Unite0
States citizen
While the state department extends
whatever protection it can to persons
of dual nationality who enter the
other country by which they are
claimed, it does not assure them inn
imunity from military service.
q THE extent to which this govern
mert may so and the arguments lit
may use, and the actual protection
of persons born in the United States
sof alien fathers and who may he
.molested while temporarily visiting
the Rnuntrles OF origin of the latter
necessarily depend on the particular
facts and circumstances Of each case. =
the statement says.
Il In no case in the absence Of conyen-
tional arrangements can the state de-
lpartment assure such persons in ad-
vance that they will not be held liable
