JAPANESE AND AMERICAN
CITIZENSHIP

Inc recent decision OF the United
States Supreme Court, adverse to the
citizenship claims of three japanese,
is welcome, in that it brings ruling,
final of course beyond appeal under
the. present law, in a matter which
has been not only perplexing Of it.
self, but also complicated by various
rulings from different lower courts.
However, unless understood in it's
essential intent, this judgment may
be productive of international ILL.,
feeling. It should be recognized
clearly that a hardship is thus i'm
posed upon an estimable people-a
people who, measured by any qualita-
tive standard, constitute one of the
five great powers of the globe-for
no reason saving that the existing
law may carry out a determination
of the Americans in favor of what is
only to be seen as radical self-defense.
The statute now interpreted as deny
ing legal citizenship to Japanese is
not based upon a feeling that white
men in general, or white Americans
in particular, are superior to Japanese
or yellow men, or that Oriental cul-
ture is inferior to Occidental. It is
founded, partly, in the desire of in
dustrial competition, and, yet more, in
the desire that, so far as possible, the
United States be maintained white
mans country. The decision does
not cover Japanese who by reason
of their birth in "the States" auto
matically become citizens, and in this
particular falls short of court custom
in Australia, South Africa, and British
Columbia.
It is futile Though Interestingly to
surmise what may bave been the
original intent in drafting the law as
it now reads in Section 2196 of the
Naturalization Actsof June, 1906. The
ruling stands that the statute, being
affirmative in it's application to the
white and Negro races, does not en-
compass other people. If the white"
used in Justice Sutherland's sentences,
is to be taken as "Caucasian," and if,
therefore, Mongolians are declared as
such, the decision is of far-reaching
moment, indeed. Both Firms and
Hungarian Magyars have been freely
naturalized by American courts, yet
they are purer Mongols than the
Japanese. On the other hand,
Moroccans and Abyssinians and Arabs
are Caucasian, albeit not pure white.
1t would seem wholly pertinent for
the Congress at Washington to enact
new law, based on qualifications
broader and juster than mere racial
traits. It should be self-evident that
any person Of any race who is per-
mitted to reside in a country for
lifetime, making a living there and
there enjoying the national institu-
lions, ought to be given the right to
become would put is, ought to
be compelled to become-a legal
citizen, that he might protect and
cherish those institutions as native
born citizens are obliged to do: Nor
would such action in any way imply
unrestricted immigration from any
part of the world: that is a separate
question. " 4. r ~ ~

ton not only as involving justice, but

say that in the next few. years from
$4,000 to $250,000 could be wisely
and economically spent on such in
vestigations.
5. Legal processes: Finally, there
are the actual law cases. The Fed
eral Government will probably attend
to the actual prosecutions, but we
must stand ready to help in the pre-
paration Of the cases, the gathering
Of witnesses, and the stimulation of
the interest Of public minds. From
$780, 900 to $3.50 900 is small esti-
mate of the cost Of preparing such
cases. This means that not less than
100000 ought to be available this
moment for the anti-lynching cam
spaign and that it will take at least
81 ,O00, 600 to stop lynching and mob
violence in the United States and
provide legal defense. These figures
may seem large. They are not large.
The difficulty with us is that our

pointed by the Council at its last meet
ing, met at Est. Castle Burke two deys af-
ter. As a result of some communication
| had with the Governor concerning
this matter, | got from the Committee
permission to invite Chaplain Steiner. the
Aide for Public Welfare, to attend the
meeting, as | discovered in the course of
a conversation with him that he had a
great deal of information which /
thought would prove interesting ard use
ful for the Committee in connection with
this matter. | also suggested that Law
yer Stakemann be invited to join the
Committee, as he is a member of the
Board of Management of the Leper Asy-
lum, representing the Oddfellows Socie-
ty in Denmark. who gifted the institu-
ton and buildings to this island.
The question was discussed by the
Committee with these gentlemen, and
Chaplain Steiner gave US much valuable
information concerning the matter, as it
appears that he had already for some
time been in communication with the
Secretary of a p~hilanthropic society in
the United States which has been doing
work of this kind in the PHILIPPINES and
Hawaii, for the Leper Colonies there.
He promised to continue his c~orrespon-
dence with the party in question with a
view towards helping this pavilion to be
erected.
Lawyer Stakemann also promised to COM
mur:eate with the Oddfellows Society in
DonmGark towards getting similar assist
a~,sa from them, and the Chairman of
~" Committee Or. Canegata) promised
to write to the Chairman of the Colonial
Council of St. Thomas inviting their
cooperation, as they send their lepers
over here to this institution.
Mr.. Andersen also promised to use his
influence with several institutions to pro-
cure contributions towards the costs OF
the erection Of the building, as well as
supplying some of the necessary articles
at cost price from Bethlehem. Every
thing looks promising. and we feel that
the pavilion is as good as erected. | ask
the Council to accept the Committees

SATURDAY NIGHT
IS THE FEATURE FILM
COMING To RIALTO

Cecil r. DeMille's production. "Sa-
turday Night" a Paramount super
feature, will be the attraction at the
Rialto for an engagement starting
next Saturday. Saturday Night" is
in many respects the most unusual
picture DeMille has ever made. De-
parting entirely from the general run
of his stories, it introduces many
thrilling scenes, while at the same
time upholds the time honored repu-
tation for gradeur. elegance, and
sumptuousness that has ever been
associated with the name of Cecil B.
DeMille
Jeanie Macpherson. who has been
responsible for practically every one
OF DeMilles stories, wrote Saturday
Night" and the same standard Of ex-
cellence as has always been main
tanned by the gifted writer is evident
in every bit OF the story of this re-
markable picture. 1t tells the story
of a millionaire who wed a washer
woman daughter and Of an heiress
who wed her chauffeur. The Groduc-
ton is a. timely one in these days of
so many marriages between those of
the opposite stations in life, and
with the skill of the born writer.
Jeanie Macpherson has built a most
amazing narrative. II gets its name
from the fact that a very important
phase of the action takes place in
Coney Island on Saturday night, and
this gives the requirement for the
unusual scenes OF the famous resort
which are a part of the picture.
DeMille has outdone himself in the
matter of realism reached in many
Of the scenes OF the production. For
fFac- = a fhnrn 80
scene - rescue over the side OF a
railroad bridge - a scene wherein the
heroine and her chauffeur are trap
ped, when their automobile stalls on
a trestle are facing death by the
onrushing train and the chauffeur
carrying the girl deliberately climbs
over the side of the structure, hangs
there while the speeding train rushes
by, demolishing the machine. Again
the great fire scene in the tenement
house is another evidence of realism
seldom reached in filmed production.
There is the accident at Coney Island
an accident that shocked society -
and there's the sensational bathing
dance of the Hollowe'en jewellers.
Saturday Night" finds an imposing
array Of talent agai nassembled un-
der the DeMille banner Beatrice

for a two days engagement starting
Wednesday. "Silver Spurs" is the
title of his latest picture. a red
blooded tale of adventure. story
that blends New York with the un-
tanned west.
1t concerns a young novelist who,
on leaving his New York home and
club, is presented with a pair of sill
yer spurs as a keepsake. The author
is going into the far western country
for local color for a vivid novel, and
the romance of the silver spurs is
related to him by its donors. In re-
turn. the novelist promises to bring
back a romance as golden as the
story OF the spurs, only that 1t VIII
be more vivid, more realistic, more
true to life.
Little did he dream that he was
destined to himself become the CEN

had ever dealt with, stranger than his

swiftness of lightning from situation
to situation. building steadily TO an
overwhelming climax that is the last
word in realism and thrill.
