TOXIC MAY NOW BREAK
TRADE PACT WITH US.
Supreme Court Decision Bar
ring Them From Citizenship
May Bring Reprisal.
BY Associated Prese to Every Evening


Washington. Nov. 1.-two decisions
that will go far toward checking what
is believed a menace to the country in
general and the Pacific Coast in par
ticular. were handed down by the
United States Supreme Court yester-
day.
The Court ruled Japanese are not of
the white" race and are not eligible
20 citizenship under the American nat
uralization laws, in one decision, and
i'm the other denied the right of Jap
anese aliens TO incorporate a real es-
tate holding company to hely and own
real estate in this country.
The decisions are expected to have
marked effect on the relations be-
tween the State Department and the
japanese Foreign Office. il was admit
ted in official circles.
II is an historical fact Japan has
always protested that. with her. racial
equality is a question OF national hon
er. IL is believed possible she will ask
that the Japanese American Treaty of
amity and commerce, which expires
next year, be terminated. 1t is also
thought the negotiations looking to
reaflirmation of the Root tTakahira
agreement may be abandoned as re-
suit of the decisions.
Both decisions were handed down by
Justice Sutherland. There was no dis
senting opinion in either case.
Justice Sutherland first took up the
case of Takao Ozawa. The plaintiff,
who was born in Japan Of Japanese
parentage, but who has been educated
in this country, applied to Federal au-
thorities for naturalization. This was
refused on the ground the American
naturalization laws did not recognize
japanese aliens as eligible for natu-
yalization and citizenship.
This case presented two questions !:
l. Is the act of June 90. 1916. pro-
viding for a uniform rule for the nat
uralizstion of aliens. complete in it
self, or is it limited by Section 2169 of
the Revised Federal Statutes?
.. Is one Of the Japanese race, born
in Japan. eligible to citizenship under
the naturalization laws?
Answering the first question. Justice
Sutherland held that Section 2169 OF
the Revised Statutes constituted a him
itation of the act Of 1916 in that ii
specifically designated those races that
were eligible TO citizenship. and as
there was no mention of any yellow
race, Japanese or otherwise, they con-
sequently were barred.
Answering the second qeustion the
court ruled a Japanese born in Japan,
not being either white or black, could
not be eligible to citizenship under the
naturalization law.
The second case was that of Takuji
Yamashita and others against j.
Grant Hinkle, Secretary of State of
Washington. The plaintiffs had applied
for a writ OF mandamus TO compel the
Secretary Of State TO receive and file
articles of Incorporation for a Japan
ese real estate holding company. which
Hinkle refused TO do.
