LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Nov. 25.
Richard Washburn Child. chief
American spokesman at the Near
Eastern conference, amazed the 9TH
er delegations this morning by re-
iterating the insistence Of the United
States upon the open door policy in
Turkey.
He read TIE memoir delivered on
Ocotber 30 TO Great Britain, France
and Italy. and said the American
government public supported that
policy. He read clauses from the
American communication relating to
the opposition in the United States
to secret treaties and agreements, cs-
pecially those providing for zones
Of special economic influence in Tur-
key.
This reiteration was regarded by
the representatives as especially sig
nificant at this time, as boundaries
are now under consideration, and the
conference is about TO consider Tur-
keys disposition of territories IN
which is included the Mesootamia oil
field in which America is especially
interested.
Chrd said the Representatives of the
United States are unable - hear con-
cluded the discussion Of any territorial
settlement which in it~ turn may affect
other settlements without drawing The

NEW STATUS OF FEMALE CITIZENSHIP.

Hereafter the women of America will not be dependent upon
their husbands for their citizenship. President Harding signed
the law to that effect September 2lst.
Until that time, if an American woman married an alien, she
forfeited her citizenship, while if an alien woman married an
American citizen, she became an American citizen by virtue of
that act. In either case the wishes of the woman were not con-
sidered.
Women have long felt the injustice of this. and several
womens organizations have united in an effort to acquire indie
pendent citizenship for women. According to the new law, if an
American woman formally renounces her citizenship, or if she
marries an alien ineligible to citizenship, she becomes an alien
but otherwise her citizenship is on a status equal to male citizen
ship and depends entirely upon herself.
This Notwithstanding justice to women-is another of
the long list OF women-interestm measures which have been initiated
by the republican party. 1t was introduced in the House and
Senate by Representative Cable and Senator Colt, both repub-
leans, was passed by a large republican majority and promptly
signed by a republican president.
There are almost no woman welfare measures, either in the
states or in the nation, which. have had democratic origin. or been
enacted by democratic authority.
