women INTERESTED IN
FEDERAL LEGISLATION
Determined to See That Major
Political Parties Make Good
Their Promises.

Through their organization repre-
scntatives in Washington, women are
watching with great interest to see how
far the political parties nrc making good
their platform promises. In the recent
passage of the Sheppard-Towner In
fancy Maternity Act, is seen
the redemption of the Presidents
promise made in his speech at Marion
on Social Justice Day. October /, and in
his message 10 the extraordinary session
of Congress; and they also see the re-
demplion of n pledge IN the Democratic
party platform.
Another plank adopted in each party
platform and endorsed by leaders of
both parties last year was the resolution
favoring independent citizenship for
married women. Many men spoke Of
the emphasis placed on this matter by
the war and their surprise az the in
! justices 10 American women made plain
Mt that time.
At n recent meeting of the Board of
! the National League of Women Voters
| in Chicago il was decided to make this
question of independent citizenship the
next matter on the League sgencral pro
gram to receive active support. A bill
| is being introduced in Congress en-
bodying the principle tha, an American
woman, while she continues TO reside
in the United States. shall not lose her
citizenship through marriage TO a
/ foreigner, and that hereafter no foreign
born woman will become an American
citizen through marriage alone but must
take out naturalization papers for her
self. Heretofore marriage 20 IN American
has conferred on ioreign-born women
the right of citizenship, in many eases
| these women not even knowing of the
change in their status and in many
other cases without their being at nll
ready for the rights and privileges OF
citizenship. This bill will not take
away the right of citizenship from any
foreign born woman who now has IL.
There arc many national issues in
which women are actively interested
said Mrs. Richard Edwards of Peru,
Indiana, first vice president Of the

commenting on pending Federal Legis
lation," but Just now while the rporgani-
zation of Federal Departments is pend

on reduction of Federal expenditures
and consequently of Federal taxes, it
seemed wise TO ask for no legislation
