Sweeping Laws Confiscate Riches of Foreign-Wed American W omen

By ANDRUE BERDING
WASHINGTON, March 12. —
Many hundreds of American women
married to foreigners and living
abroad have been caught by the
sweeping laws of belligerent and
neutral nations alike requiring cit-
izens to list or surrender their for-
eign securities.
All the allies, including the Brit-
ish dominions, have promulgated
such laws. Germany, and some neu-
trals like Italy, had them in effect
a few years before the war began.
In European countries, a for-
eign woman married to one of
their nationals acquires his cit-
izenship and Is subject to the
laws of his country She is re-
quired to list or turn over to
Inose governments her foreign
securities, whether held there or
abroad, and also her foreign
credits such as tank or build-
ing association deposits in the
United States.
