CHAMBER WILL SEEK
GENERAL POLICY OF
POINCARE CABINET
Premier to Put Off Imn,s-
date Discussion Of
interpretations.

Paris, March 29.-When Premier
Poincare presents his new cabinet to
the Chamber of Deputies on Monday
he will be bombarded with interpret
lations regarding the general policy
and formation of the government.
BRAND, Tardieu and Herriot, lead
ers of the opposition parties, will
speak in person.
The government will oppose imme-
date discussion of the interpretations,
however, on the ground that it is
necessary to pass as soon as possible
upon provisional credits for the de-
vastated regions.
Political observers predict that
Poincare will win on the first vote
of confidence by a majority Of be-
tween 300 and 400.
Chief interest centers in how the
premier will explain his throwing
overheard of eighteen ministers and
under-secretaries, several of them
close personal friends. and taking
aboard Louis Loucheur, Jouvenel,
Marsal and Vincent who were his adj
versaries during the debate on the fl
nancial projects.
Both lie Temps and lie Journal see
in the new cabinet merely an instru-
ment with which Poincare can most
simultaneously fight in the forthcom-
ing elections.

A LEGAL MIXUP
Native Born American Must Obtain
German Passport to Travel.

One of those strange kinks that
often breaks the regularity of the
normal course of human events was
revealed in the federal building. As
result of the tricks played by fate
and legislation there has been evolved
the paradoxical situation whereby a
husband who was born in Germany OF
German parentage must obtain an
American passport, and his wife, who
was born in New Braunfels, Tex,
and who was an American citizen by
birth, must obtain a German pass
port.
Planning to make a tour of Europe,
the husband appeared at the federal
building Saturday afternoon, to as
certain the requirements prerequisite
to the granting of a passport. An
American citizen and his wife can
normally travel on one passport, pro-
vided his wife is also an American
citizen. If, however. she is not an
American citizen, then she is re-
quired to obtain passport from the
government of which she is citizen
or subject.
1t was revealed that the couple had
married before September, 1922, whea
the Cable act was made effective. The
Gable act provided that the citizen
ship status of woman was thereafter
not to be affected by marriage. If
she were an alien and thereafter mar
ried an American citizen, she could
become an American citizen only by
obtaining naturalization papers. II
she were an American citizen and
married an alien she would still re-
tain her American citizenship.
Prior to the passage of the Cable
act, the citizenship of woman was
controlled by that of the man, it was
explained.
The. woman in the case that occur
red Saturday, was born in New
Braunfels. Her husband, at the time
of their marriage, was German
alien and she thus lost her American
citizenship. After the passage of the
Cable act. he became an American
citizen, although his wife remained
an alien by marriage. If he had be-
come an American citizen prior to the
Cable act, she would have become an
American citizen by virtue of her
husbands naturalization.
As result of this complication,
the husband on his trip to Europe
will carry an American passport. and
his American born wife will carry Il
German passport.
