REp.HoT WAR TALK IN CONGRESS

Congressman Sisson of Mississippi
made a "war talk" in Congress Mon
day that displayed the fighting BLOOD
characteristic of old Mississippi for
hundreds of years. He was addressing
himself to the subject of the proposed
anti-alien land owning law of Callfor-
mia, which has been very i've SUD
iect for some weeks. He handled the
subject without gloves, and did not
hesitate to uphold California in the
massage of the law, and openly de-
clared himself in favor of war rather
than submit to any indignity from
Japan or any other foreign country.
His major premise was that no
nonresident alien should be allowed
TO hold a single foot of the territory
of the United States" He believes
in America for Americans, and says
IL foreigners would be land owners
here let them come to America, be
come citizens of the country, and SUD
nit to all the laws and regulations o.
the country before they share III
blessings and benefits. Among othe
things Mr.. Sisson said:
IF Japan now threatens us VIII
war. what would she do when million
of her citizens have acquired land Il
our country? lay down the propos
ton that an alien population holdln
land within our borders would be
fixed and constant menace.
We must preserve to the America
farmer the right to own the soil OF OF
country without competition whio
would drag down his standard OF IL
ing. | would not surrender 1t unle'
we had spent the last drop OF DOC
in American manhood and improve
ished our country for hundred ge
erations."

nounced that he intended to vote
against the amendment along with the
democrats. but that since it had been
announced by Chairman, Simmons of
the finance committee that the sub
committees were hearing all who
came to them. he would vote for public
hearings by the full committee. instead
of private hearings by the subcommit-
tees.
Following the defeat of the amend
ment. the motion Of Senator Simmons
to refer the tariff bill to the finance
committee was carried without roll
call.
The democratic leaders are pleased
with the result of the vote, and believe
they have the democrats of the Senate
lined up to put through the Under
wood bill without material changes.
During the debate yesterday Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia admitted that
the democrats intended to take caucus
action on the bill when 1t shall be per-
fected by the finance committee. 1t is
believed that with the exception of the
two Louisiana senators the democrats
will stand by the caucus action. Some
democrats said today that they had
amendments to the bill which they
proposed to offer in caucus il the
finance committee did not look after
them. but that they would abide by the
caucus action. and would offer the
amendments in open Senate.
