CALIFORNIA DEFENDED AS
STATE AND NATIONAL AID
In Protecting Herself and the American People Against
the Japanese Invasion
New York American.)

(New York American.)
There is a certain class of people in
this country Of ours who are aliens at
heart, always have been aliens and
always will be-
They have never become Americans
in spirit. They have never been able
so assimilate the American system, to
appreciate the American point of view
They may have been American citizens
for years, their fathers and GRANDPA
Tiers may have been American citi-
zens, they may have descended from
our first and Oldest families, but they
are inherently incapable of being
Americans or understanding Ameri-
cans.
In most cases the immigrant who
has just landed has better under
standing of American principles and
policy and a greater loyalty to Ameri-
can ideals than these congenital aliens
whose thoughts are foreign to our
American spirit and sentiment.
A Form of TOryism.
The hotbed of those kind of un,
American toryism is, and always has
been, New York. In the days of the
revolution these tories supported the
cause of the crown, and never since
that time has there been dispute be-
tween the United States any any for
eign nations, without regard to the JUS
tice of the American position, and gen
orally without any knowledge of the
subject under discussion.
The present instance in the case of
California. These congenital aliens
Immediately assume that California
is wrong in her decision to exclude un-
naturalized citizens from the right to
possess lands in California and that
Japan is right.
They know nothing of the subject,
rs their utterances clearly indicate
But they are convinced that California
must be wrong, apparently because il
is part of the United States, and the
| fundamental principle of their posi-
ton is that the United States is al
ways wrong, and what is characteristic
of the whole must be characteristic Of
any particular part.
California Within All Rights.
AS a matter of fact, California is
right, legally right, constitutionally
right, ethnologically right, right for
her own best interests, right for the
best interests of the whole country,
including New York and right for the
best interests of =" Il the citizens of this
country, including the citizens of New
York-even the class of congenital
toadies and tories.
California is within her states rights
guaranteed by the constitution of the
United States, when she decides that
individuals who have not been natur.
allied may not hold land within her
confines.
Any state in the union might make
such a law, and it would not be within
the power or privilege of the United
States to prevent it.
California is acting to her own besr
advantage in making such law, be
cause the japanese would not make
good citizens and do not make good
residents.
They are a race this nation can
not and should not assimilate They
would infict upon us another and q
greater race problem than we have
yet dealt with, and We already have
race problems which are difficult
! enough to solve
More Than Objectionable.
The Japanese in the numbers j.
which they are invading California ar,
luof only objectionable they are dan
