JAPANESE TO MAKE
PROTEST AGAINST
CALIFORNIA LAWS
To ask Amendment of Acts
Barring Aliens From Own
ing Property.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. May IA
The Japanese government is plan
ming an early protest against the
laws of California and other states
which prohibit aliens who are ineH-
gible 10 citizenship I'm this country
from owning land. The law pro-
vides that this right is denied aliens
unless it is expressly conferred by
treaty and the treaty with Japan al
lows property holding rights only
to lease property for commercial
purposes.
japan wants a new treaty agree
ment vitiating the California and
similar land laws and permitting
aliens ineligible to American citizen
ship. like the Japanese. to own land
in states permitting such ownership
TO aliens eligible 10 naturalization.
To obtain such concession Japan is
willing to tighten Up the gentle
mems agreement" preventing the
emigration Of Japanese to this Coun-
try.
In line With UttcranCc.
The Harding administration is not
disposed TO discuss this matter with
Japan prior TO a satisfactory settle
ment Of the zap controversy. When
ever the land holding issue is re-
vived. however it is assumed that
the administration will proceed in
line with Prest Harding's campaign
utterance that California and states
in which similar conditions prevail
should be above dto adopt meas
ures Of protection from the inroads
Of immiscible races.
The Californians regard the gen
tlemen's agreement a failure and IA
vOr the direct exclusion of Japanese
immigrants by statute. The are also
furthering a movement fer a consti-
tutional amendment denying citizen
ship to the children Of aliens ineIi-
gible 20 citizenship. That would pre-
vent the American born children Of
Japanese. Chinese and other incIi-
gible TO naturalization from acQuir-
ing land holding rights by virtue OF
the citizenship conferred by birth.
May BE Revived
With a view 10 meeting the issue
whenever It may be revived bv ia
