REPATRIATING THE INTERNEES. NATIONALISTS STRONGLY OBJECT. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. CAPE TOWN, March 15. The Enemy Repatriation and Denaturalisation Bill provides that all interned aliens, at November 11 shall be regarded as undesirable. If, subsequent to that date, they have expressed a desire to return to their own country, or have not acquired domicile or said anything hostile, rendering them in the opinion of the board a danger to peace and order, the Minister may order their removal from the Union, after which they will be deemed prohibited immigrants. Naturalisation certificates will be made revocable if they have expressed a desire to revert to their former allegiance, or have not said anything endangering peace and order. The nationality of a wife, minor, or children is not affected by the revocation, unless bo desired. A board of three will administer the Act. The Nationalists strongly opposed the introduction of the Bill, Every Nationalist member presented a petition against it. In the Assembly a Bill granting amnesty to the rebels of 1914 was road a first time.
