Masuzawa advocates q plan to give

Japanese who have lived in the Unit.

President Wilson and congress for
the privilege of becoming naturalized,
not as a right, but as a necessity. He
believes with DR.. Sidney L. Gulick
that a court suit will be a failure, and
is certain that 20 years. residence ar.
gument will convince the United
