THE naturalization laws of the United

We of California believe firmly that
in our legislative dealings with this
alien land question we have violated
absolutely no treaty rights. We have
shown no discrimination: we have Civ

fed in taking offence. So. believing
with a strong reliance on the Justice
and the righteousness of our cause.
and with due Difference and courtesy
and with proper consideration for the
feelings and the views of others--we
had hoped the authorities at Washing
ton would have seen the question as
we in this state have been forced to
see it--as we must see tor be blind.
And SO. with all respect and court
esy, the state of California feels 1t its
bound duty to citizens to DO that which
the interests of its people demand: that
which the conscience of its people APP
prove; that which violates no treaty
right; that which presents no discrim-
nation and that which can give no
just cause for offence.
You have suggested to me delay,
but this question was very earnestly
and fully presented by you to our
Legislature and the Legislature de.
termined to proceed. My province IS
to approve or disapprove the law an
presented. Our people as represented
in the Legislature have overwhelm-
ingly expressed their desire for the
present alien land bill. The vote in

Of opinion, even did hold other views,
