smelling works owned by Baron De
Wendell in Lorraine have been sold to

this great property was transferred
from French to German ownership is
called compulsory liquidation"
Baron De Wendell. feputed to be ono

TOXIC, Japan, October b.-The
Hochi Shimbun is gratified at the re-
cent decision Of 4 California court
holding that American-born japanese
are entitled to own land in spite of
the alien land law. 1t expresses the
hope that il the case is appealed the
higher courts will confirm this eQui-
table decision. The paper calls the
law unjust, discriminatory and illegal
because it interferes with the treaty
rights Of the Japanese. 1t also con-
siders the law Injurious to American
interests. shutting out Japanese farm
ers contributing to the agricultural
development Of California.
The newspaper also hopes that steps
will be taken to arrive at just de-
cision as to the right Of nAturalixa-
ton. 1t says that the japanese in
America are devoting their lives and
property to the American cause and
that, therefore, this is the psychologi-
cal moment to eliminate unfriendly
