Dual Citizenship Debate Follows Higginson Proposal

The Post prints further commentary on Major Higginson’s plan to amend naturalization laws to bar citizens from nations that do not release subjects from loyalty upon taking the U S oath. The aim is to relieve the country of dual allegiance risks as the discussion continues.

Debate on naturalization laws and loyalty conflicts

Multiple editors discuss proposed changes to naturalization and immigration laws arguing for or against mandatory release from homeland obligations. They favor treaties with foreign nations over restrictive U.S. statutes and emphasize undivided loyalty, language learning, and assimilation.

Education and unity to curb hyphenated Americanism

The speaker argues against alien citizens renouncing allegiance and urges education to unite loyalties. He cites British influence and cites a Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling that expatriation cannot free an American from U S obligations. He cautions delaying action until calmer times and notes dual allegiance remains impractical.
