 The governments bill. as has been announced, emphasizes the right of eXpatriation of Japanese born in for eiGn lands and provides that such repatriation involves definitely a loss of Japanese nationality.
 one of the contentious of those seeking more satisfactory assimila- ton of the Japanese residents in the Urited States has been that Japan hindered that assimilation by main taning it's legal hold on male chil- Gren born in foreign lands. Birth of Japanese in the United States is tan tamount to the right of American cit : izeuship but the Japanese law hos never recognized the right of Japanese horn abroad to separate themselves entirely from Japanese nationality. Thus arose the question of dual na- tiOnality" between the United States and Japan just as it has arisen be- tween the United States and Europe on countries where the old Roman law entirely from Japanese nationality was alleged to react against a broader adaptation of Japanese residents in
