PACHECO OPPOSES
CHANGE i'm LAWS

Any attempted legislation to alter
the present militia laws to permit
aliens or non-citizens becoming mem
bers Of the National Guard will be Wig.
orously opposed by Senater-elect Man
uel C. Pacheco Pacheco says he
unreservedly favors and approves OF
tho stand taken by the Star Bulletin
in an editorial published Monday. .
In view Of the fact that Federal
Judge II. W. Vaughan has held in q
recent ]ecision that Filipinosare not
eligible fcr American citizenship, there
has been some talk of an amendment
in the next legislature of the local
militia ;Sws permitting persons not
citizens to join the National Guard. A
large number OF Filipicos, not citizens,
belong to the local militia.
~-"Thera are several ways I'm which
the Filipinos. might be permitted to
remain in the guard in spite of the
Vaughan decision" says Pacheco.
One would be changing otthe fed
eral naturalization laws. and another
would os a change of the local militia
laws to permit aliens or nontcitizens

the Fflipinos- now in the guard to COLI
tinue as enlisted men. But / am vigor-
ously opposed to any legislation per
mitting non-citizens, or those ineligible
to American citizenship, to become
members of the guard.
1T would not be a good policy. 1t
would place discretionary powers in
the hands Of the governor and he
would keep certain aliens from form
ing companies of the guard, as hap
pened IN the case of number Of Japa-
nese young men who, am informed,

AFredondo, who has been serving
without formal RECOGNITION 81 his sta
tus but with all of the activities Of
his post, said goodbye today to Secre.
tary of State Lansing and made 1t
known that he departs tonight for
Mexico City
Remon Denegri, Mexican consul at
San Francisco, has been put in charge
of the embassy. The reason for the
action is not at all clear, particularly
in view of the fact that Arredondo re-
Gently denied a report that he had
been withdrawn.
In this connection it is remembered
here that when Carranza sent his ap-
peal to the United States government,
through the American-Mexican joint
commission, for modification of the
proposed protocol, Ut was ,rumOred
that Carranza would withdraw Are
dondp as mark Of displeasure at the
action of the American commissioners
in demanding a final decision on the
protocol
Arredondo has said that if he de-
parted from Washington it would be
to confer with CarranZa.
