Toxic, Japan. The rejoinder of
Japanese to the United States note
on the subject of the California alien
land ownership legislation reiterates
that the land bill passed by the Cali

Of the Japanese American treaty by
discriminating against a friendly
power
It points out that even II the ques-
tion is an economic one, 1t enters the
domain Of international relations and
therefore becomes a political question,
The note says that the California
land legislation violates Article I. OF
the Japanese-American treaty OF 1911,
which authorizes subjects or citizens
Of the contracting parties to own or
lease houses, which are inseparable
parts Of real estate.
It also declares that the new bill
violates the Fourteenth Amendment
to the United States Constitution re-
quiring the States to grant equal pro-
lection under its laws to all persons
within its jurisdiction.
