San Francisco. April 2.-Different
opinions concerning the rights of Jap
anese naturalized in Hawaii to hold
land in California, were expressed by
Edward White. immigration commits
sioner and r. w. Harrison, chief as
sistant state attorney general here to-
day.
These japanese have the full right
to exercise all the rights of American
citizens, as their naturalization has
been upheld and is in strict accord
with the congressional act of May 3,
1918" White said
The right of these Japanese to hold
land in California still is a question of
doubt Harrison said. "The interpre-
tation of the United States district
court of Hawaii, and the upholding of
that citizenship by the federal bureau
of naturalization does not thoroughly
establish their claim as far as the
state of California is concerned We
are not bound by the decision of that
court or that bureau.
The issue could be decided here by
the attorney general bringing an ac-
ton to have lands purchased by such
japanese escheat to the state, or by
any interested parties bringing custer
proceedings
"In the event the citizenship of such
Japanese finally is established they
could hold unlimited lands, borrow
unlimited funds and exercise every
right of an American citizen Harrl-
son said.

PASSOVER AND EASTER

Two Of the greatest of religious
festivals-the Jewish Feast of the
Passover and the Christians Easter
come within a week Of each other
this year. The Passover services be-
gan at shutdown yesterday; Easter
will be celebrated next Sunday.
The Passover has been observed
by the descendants of Abraham dur
ing the past thirty-five hundred
years. Services appropriate to the
occasion were held in Jewish temples
and synagogues throughout the
world last night. Following the re-
formed rites there We're observanceS
this morning, which concluded the
services of the Passover proper until
the last Of the eight days, when SIM
liar ceremonies will be held. The
ancient orthodox rites call for sarvl.
ceS on each of the eight days.
The feast, coIlnmemorating the
freedom of the Jews from the bond
age Of the Egyptians, is marked with
a peculiar significance this year be-
cause of the great strides made to-
ward the establishment OF Jewish
homeland in Palestine. For this rea-
son the family reunions. always a
feature of the season, will be espec
