BRITISH NATIONALITY
WAY OPENED FOR ORPHAN REFUGEES (Rec. 9 p.m.) LONDON, Jan, 2. Orphan children who fled to Britain from pre-war Nazi persecution will be granted British citizenship, says the Daily Mail. There are more than 1000 of these children, mostly German or
Austrian. Normally, minors cannot apply for naturalisation without their parents’ consent, but the Secretary of State for Home Affairs, Mr Chuter Ede, in this case has waived the point. Selection boards will question the applicants and make recommendations. The children are at present living i.i hostels or with British families.
