Ncv. 23. The problem of the woman without a country remains unsolved tn the report of the National ity committee of the Imperial Conftr-ence. which waa adopted. It was frankly admitted as forecasted that the commit tee had been uuable to agree on the proposal that a British woman should not be deemed to have lost her nation ality by the mere fact of marriage. The difficulty waa that It the proposed c hsngw were accepted, such a woman, Instead of having no country, might have two countries. In that event, the report observes', if she resided In her husband s country she would be, without benefit of British protection. The report makes no recommendation but the inference Is made that the situation can be met effectively only by International act. mxuetakv Hint. VANCOUVER. Nov. 23.
