DUAL NATIONALITY

Since the outbreak of the European
war the term dual nationality" has
been much in evidence IN the United
States Can a man owe allegiance to
two countries at the same time? The0-
reticaliy, at least and on principle
It would seem not. but several in
stances during the last few months
have emphasized the fact that from H
practical viewpoint there is much con-
fusion in the matter
The laws Of the United States re
quire every applicant for naturaIiza-
ton 10 renouuce his prior allegiance.
The French civil code defines q
FreBchman as amy person born of q
Frenchmau in France or abroad" and
a similar theory Of citizenship exists
in practically ali European countries.
The conflict comes when an American
citizen goes to an European country
and is held under its laws OF citizen
ship.
This problem has heeu the subject
Of considerable discussion Of late ia
which Secretary Of State Lansing,
Senator Henry Cabot Ledge and form~
er President Roosevelt have taken
part, One ease. which Colonel Roose-
yeit uses as an example is that of
p. A I-elong Of New Orleans, VINO was
born in the United States of q French
father. Secretary Lansing. who at she
time the case came up was acting as
counsellor. said THAI che department
cannot give you assurance that you
would not be held liable for Inc per
formance of military service in
France should you voluntarily place
yourself within French Jurisdiction.
Colonel Roosevelt bitterly attacked
this doctrine and pointed out that if it
were to prevail Colonel Goethals
might be seized If he should sc TO Ho!-
land or Admiral 0sterhaas and
Schroeder impressed into service if
they should go to Germany
Senator Lodge had q case NOT long
ago which involved italy and TINS
country Uso Da Prat0 was born in
Boston following the naturalization Of
his father and had been forced into
the Italian army while studying IN
italy The young man was clearly an
American citizen upon whom Italy had
no possible claim and the state de
p8rtment directed our ambassador at
Rome to ask for the immediate release
of Prato. In both the LeEong and the
Prato cases the men are American
citizens under the provisions of our
fundamental law
Secretary Lansing lays much stress
on the laws Of citizenship of foreign
countries and the state department
seems to be unwilling to adopt a line
of policy which shall declare that
bona ide American citizen possesses
rights as such which cannot be alien
ated by the law of any foreign country.
Senator Lodge expresses the opin-
ion that the United States should
never, and particularly at this time
should not, abate in any way its duty

ton AMI laws are American citizens.
