(b) One year's continuous res- idence in Canada with her hus- band. (c) Filing the appropriate forn with the Naturalization Branch, Department o! the Secretary ol State, Ottawa. An alien wife in this category must appear before a court for ex- amnation, must be lawfully ad- mitted to Canada for permaneni residence and reside here for one year preceding the date o! hez petition for cltizenship, andi musi file an appropriate form. with th4 clerk o! the Court in the judicial district where she resides. Since many enquiries have corne to the editor o! The States- man ini regard to the ternis o! Canada's new Citizenship Act, which came into effect Jan. 1, 1947, the followîng points are given as a matter of public infor- mation. Outstanding features -o! the Act are: 1. For the first tume, our natur- alization statute states that a Can- adian citizen is a British subject. 2. A native-born Canadian, or a British subject domiciled in Canada, brides of Canadian ser- vicemen, and ail those who now possess naturalization certificates, are declared to be Canadian citi- zens immediately. 3. The Act provides for the es- tablisbment and recognition of Canadian citizensbip. Formerly the only defixnition of Canadian citizenship was to be found in the Immigration Act. In future, all Canadian passports will carry the words, "Canadian citizen," a right whicb in various circumn- stances was not general before. 4. The Bill maintains andi re- cognizes the Status of British subject with the advantage that Canadian citizenship papers will be supplied upon request after the legal period of residence. Once in possession of citizenship papers they will have the right o! entry into Canada and the right to Can- adian diplomatic protection. 5. Women who marry Cana- dians will qualify for Canadian citizenship one year after estab- lishing residence. 6. Recognition of the status o! British subjects 15 shown in clauses which provide that al British subjects now in Canada are declared to be Canadian citi- zens. Certificates will be issued upon application. Non-Canadian British subjects coming to Can- ada will oibtain certificates in the same way after establishing legal residence. No court room cere- mony will be necessary. 7. The Act recognizes the right o! women to decide their own nationality. Previously women have been classed as persons un- der a disability and automatically assumed the nationality of their husbands. A Canadian woman who marries a man of any other nationaiity may retain Canadian citizenship if she so wîshes. 8. Non-Canadian&s who served in the Canadian armed forces out- side o! Canada, qualify for citi- zen'ship after one year of such service. 9. Naturalized Canadians will lose their citizenship if they stay out of Canadra for a period o! six years or more. Canadian citi- zenship can be retained in such cases only by an official endorse- ment on a passport or certificate o! cîtizenship. 10. The Act provides for en- couragement o! education in cit- izenship for those applying for naturalization. It is intended that the ceremony o! naturaliza- tion shaîl be conducted with fit- ting dignîty and solemnity. Status of Canadian Wemen The Canadian Citizenship Act breaks new constitutional ground, particularly as regards Canadian women. For the first time id our history the statue governing Cîti- zenship recognizes the equal stat- us of women. Formerly, women applying for citizenship- were classed as persons "under a disa- bility" in the same category as minors and insane persons. Under the new Act women will have control of their national status. Here are some of the clauses which affect women: Wben a Can- adian woman marries an allen, she no longer automatically changes her nationality. She re- tains *hier Canadian Citizenship until such time as she files a form voluntarily relinquishing it. A woman wbo marries a Can- adian can, if she wishes, obtain Canadian citizensbip after one year's residence in Canada with ber busband. Previously such wives were regarded as "Canadian nationals" under the Canadian National Act of 1921 even prior to landing in Canada. Under the 1921 Act they were entitiedi to re- ceive a Canadian passport wbich requested protection and assis- tance in !oreign countries as a George N.

As Deputy Minisker he succeeds the late R. A. McAllister who died August lst, 1946.

DEPUTY MINISTER TO PAY HIGH PRICE FOR EXPORT BACON A decline in Dominion govern- ment inspected slaughtering. of hogs occurred in 1946 to a level 26 per cent below that of 1945. In- spected establishments had an output of 539 million pounds of pork products and 40 million pounds of lard. The output from non-inspected. sources was esti- mated to be 251 million pounds of pork products. The total supply of pork products, allowing for -CommEity Agreemet And Cartels, Topic At Farm Forum Dàring the war Canadian farm- ers got used to the certainty o! markets for their products and stabilizedi prices. This hitherto unfamillar sense of security was brought about by government food contracts and price coptrol. Now that the war is over, is the sale of farm products to return to the open market and the gam- ble of fiuctuating prices? The Canadian Federation of Agriculture andi many of its mem- ber bodies (for example, the Wheat Pools) have come out in favor of multilateral commodity agreements as the best guarantee of stabilized markets and prices for the farmer. Multilateral commodity agreements mean agreements between governments o! several countries for the sale of farm products. At present an International Wheat Agreement between 13 couhitries, including Canada, is being negotiated at Washington. This is the first and only multilateral commodity agreement to be negotiated since the war. Previously there were inter-governmental agreements in wheat, coffee, sugar, tea, tin and sawn lumber. Although Canada is not yet a party to rpultilateral agreement we are a party to several bilateral contracts with Great Britain. We have contracts extending into the future anywhere 'from one to four years in beef, bacon, eggs, and wheat, to mention a few. The Wheat Agreement signed in 1946 is the largest deal of its kind in history. It is à contract for the sale o! 600 million bushels of wheat by Canada to the United Kingdom over a period o! four years at a fixed price o! $1.55 a bushel the first two years and a minimum price of $1.25 andi $1.00 a bushel, respectively, the third and fourth years. In signing sucb contracts are goVernments doing the same thing in effect, as manufacturers have done for years through combines and cartels? The main difference would seem to be that whereas cartels are drawn up for the ben- efit o! manufacturers alone, com- modity agreements should work to the advantage of consumers as well as producers. The subject of "Commodity ,Agreements andi Cartels" will be threshed eut !in National Farm Radio Forum on January 20. THE CANADIAN STATZWIAN.,BOWMANVnl.& ONTAMO changes in storage stocks, axnounted. k> 790 million pounds. Exports of pork products amounted to 295 million pounds, of which 284 million pounds were shipped to the Unitedi Kingdom. The domestie market receivelà 495 million pounds, of which approx- imatelyi 3 million poundis were al- located to priority users. Indications are. that total in- spected, slaughter for 1947 will approximate 1946 slaughterings. An objective of 5 million hogs has been recommended for 1947. How- lever, if inspected slaughterings do not exceed 1946 levels, bacon ex- ports to the Unitedi Kingdom will amount to only 200 to 275 mil- lion pounds for the year, depend- ing on whether or not the domes- tic market is allowed all the pork products it will absorb. Recent surveys suggest that hog marketings will increase in the second haîf of 1947. One of the factors favorable to an increase in hog production is the ratio of the price of hogs to the price of eeidwhic h, since September, 1946, ias been b-igher than at any time ýince 1943. The bacon price of $2 5 per 100 pounds, A Grade ba- con, f.o.b. Canadian seaboard, pro- vided for in the 1947 Agreement with the United Kingdom is high- er than the pricê in any year dur- ing the war. Preliminary nego- tiations with the United Kingdom assure a market in 1948 for 400 million pounds o! bacon at a price not less than $22.50 per 100 lbs., A. Grade bacon, f.o.b. Canadian seaboard, final price to be review- ed at a future date.
