By OSCAR LEIDING LONDON, August. 22.—Steps; are being taken here to obtain for Prof. Albert Einstein—citizen of the world but of no country— rapid naturalization as a British! subject. The champion of the famous! German Jewish savant, who lodg- ted notice at the German embassy in Brussels renouncing his German nationality, is Commander Oliver Locker-Lampson, a member of parliament, Search For Short Cut Commander Locker- Lampson who was Prof. Einstein’s host on his recent visit here, introduced; a bill in parlfament just before it adjourned which was designed to permit citizenship in Palestine for Jews deprived of citizenship else-; where, But for the scientist, the com- mander believes, this would be neither adequate nor sufficiently prompt. So he is seeking, through the home secretary, a more rapid{ {naturalization process. Prof. Einstein himself sat in the distinguished strangers’ gallery in the house of commons just’ before adjournment and. listened to his! host plead for the extension of op-; portunities of citizenship for Jews resident outside the British em- pire. Parliament Cheers Einstein | “TI feel the great German peo- ple have been misled by their lead- ers,” the commander. said. “Ger- many has not driven out her cut- throats and blackguards. She has selected the cream of her culture and suppressed it.”” There was great applause from the floor for the scientist when| the speaker added: “She even has turned upon her most glorious citizen, Prof. Ein- stein.” On his visit here, the. oo: dined with: David’-Loyd’ George, war-time premier, and like all guests was given the. visitor's book to sign, Under the space reserved for his address he wrote “ohne”—the German word for “without.” May Use Rare Power Discussion is now proceeding as to whether the, home secretary. has the power to grant a naturalize- tion certificate. He has certain | powers under statutes of 1914, 1918, and 1922 t owaive the ordi- nary requirements as to residence but the latitude to grant special certificates applies to “‘any person with respect to whose nationality as a British subject a doubt ex-| ists.” If Einstein’s case does not fell within the statutes, another course is technically open—the promo- tion of a private bill in parliament. | The process is very rare but parliament could grant British cit- izenship to the exiled scientist.
