INSULTED AND OSTRACISED,
(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLB ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, 12th September. The British wives, of Germans who have been interned are suffering many hardships in England. They.have found themselves scorned and insulted by their neighbours and ostracised by their friends. Many have chosen to go to Germany, though they are not allowed to take boyjKover twelve or girls over sixteen. Publication of the fact that hundreds of women ai'e returning to Germany has shocked the public. The representatives of seventeeen women's societies waited as a deputation on Sir George Cave, urging an amendment in the naturalisation law, so that women would have the_ right to retain their British nationality on marriage with an alien. Sir, George Cave said that tlie Imperial Conference had considered the matter with a view to joint action by the Dominions and the Mother 'Country. • He promised to consider the whole matter, but many difficulties had to be reconciled.
