DOES MARRIAGE
DEPRIVE WOMAN
Of HER RIGHT?
Interesting Question Presented
in Demand for Issuance of
Birth Certificate

Whether or not Toki Chuniichiro. a
young japanese woman, can be grant
ed her Hawaiian birth certificate is a
question which Wade Warren Thayer,
territorial secretary. has referred to
Acknowledgement /. NJ. Stainback.
Toki has applied to Mr. Thayer aud
has given satisfactory evidence that
she was born in the islands, but she
has married an alien Japanese, which
takes away her. citizenship papers.
Il am wondering if it also takes
away her right to secure a birth Ger.
tificate,n said MIR Thayer today, "and
to settle the question have referred
it to the encouragement.
Evidence goes to show that the
woman was born here, lived in the
islands for seven years and then went
to Japan. In fact she speaks japanese
fluently and English only very lit
tie. When she returned here it was
to marry a Japanese, thus losing her
citizenship standing. A wife takes
the same citizenship as her husband"
Mr. Stainback has not yet renderel
an opinion on the case. He said this
morning that -he would look carefully
into its history before doing so.
Approximately 80 Japanese have
been given birth certificates since the
recent return to the system of issu-
ing them. Mr.. .Thayer says. He has
been rather surprised that q larger
number than this has not applied
Every person apply ng for a certificate
