japanese People Plan
To Stay IN California

Toxic. April 2.-Japanese people
in California are not preparing to re-
turn to Japan, but will stay in the
land of their adoption and assimilate
with the nationals among whom they
live, according to the statement of
chairman Nanabe OF the Loomis In
dustrial Association of Loo,nis. Cal.
quoted in the Japan Times and
Mail. Mr.. Manabe said: The string
ent land law has also impressed on
the japanese the value of owning,
rather than leasing land. They are
buying land for their children and
instead OF becoming guardians them
selves, they are appointed bona fide
Americans to act for their offspring
and look after their interests
These children born under the
Stars and Stripes cannot enjoy the
same privileges that are accorded to
them as American citizens IL they
return to Japan. Moreover. they are
receiving an American education and
are growing up in American environ
ment which will unfit them even to
enter schools in Japan. They will
find themselves as much strangers
In Japan as their parents did when
they first landed in America There
fore parents are all agreed in the
wisdom OF bringing up their children
as American citizens. and as such
they may own any amount, of land
l believe this is the right way"
AS to the status OF the parents
who are ineligible to American
citizenship, Mr.. Manabe said: we
Will not return to Japan as defeat
ed race. as that would bring disgrace
to ourselves as well as our native
country. but We will remain In the
land of our choice. We have a right
to i've and no one will deprive US Of
that right. The Japanese farmers in
California are developing profit shar-
Ing with American land owners and
u looks hopeful in every way. Under
this system 1t Is impossible to make
as much as under the independent
other benefits which will offset the
disadvantage of political as well as
racial prejudice axains; u.s.
Mr.. Manabe added that there were
no ngnx of violence anywhere in
California axains; the japanese resi-
dents esen during the wor., stage.
of the agitation.
