On the other hand, it is only fair to
point out that under war conditions,

The Divoxce Ansle
MOREOVER. before We decide that
marriage to foreign wife is the first
step to the divorce court, let's glance
at ox' divorce rate, which has long
been the highest in the world. Our
soldiers foreign brides come from
countries where marriage is not taken
50 lightly. Though the background of
these girls is different from ours, many
are making strenuous efforts to learn
our ways. A group of Australian
brides, with stories about mothers

lied classes in which they struggle
with batter bread, clam chovder and
other American dishes.

Another prime discourager is our
unbelievably complicated citizenship
law. Foreigners who marry Americans
abroad do not automatically become
Citizens: nor are the children of all
such marriages necessarily Ameri-
cans. To get American citizenship, the
wife must first come to this country,
after obtaining special permission to
DO 50 on a non-quota basis - which
mayrequire six months. Then. she must
wait three years to file her final papers.
But if love triumphs over difficulty
and encouragement. what chance
have these overseas marriages for sue
cess? Well. psychological research into
the conditions that make for happy
marriage stresses the desirability of a
previous acquaintance of at least a
year or two. and the advantage of
similar Background Few foreign
brides have these qualifications.
The urgency of war has usually
spoeded up their romances. A
Sacramento boy who married a girl
from Sydney. Australia. explained,
I'VE bumped into each other on the
street. and it was love at first sight"
Many romances with English girls
have also begun and fowzed with
equal speed; a pretty little British
miss who reached here recently ex-
planned that an American Air Force
sergeant had lost his way on the
streets Of her village and asked her to
direct him. Three months later the

Parents who look forward with
trepidation to taking foreign brides
into their homes might remember that,
in leaving family and friends behind,
the girls are showing high courage -
