The Dakota Republican thinks

The Dakota Republican thinks
there is no reason why flat anti
alien ownership law should not Q
passed in California. That would
be an easy solution of the matter
if that were what California want
ed, but it is not. Many of the
large fruit ranches are owned by
aliens who are spending millions
of dollars in building up the coun-
try, and these she does not wish to
exclude. The main purpose of the
law is discrimination and this is
what Japan objects to.
