HINDUS CANNOT
BECOME CITIZENS
in U. 5. RULING
Decision of u. S. Supreme
Court Important to
Valley ~

Decision of the United States
supreme court, delivered Monday,
stating that high caste Hindus are
not subject to citizenship, places
such residents in this state under
the anti-alien land law, and affects
large tracts of land in all parts of
California, controlled by Hindus.
Imperial Valley has a considerable
number of Hindus working ranches
here, most of whom lease the land
from the owner, though i'll few
eases they own the land themselves.
The question whether Hindu is a
white man has always been favor
tie topic for discussion in Imperial
Valley and of late years, it has gen.
orally been accepted that they are
to be classed as white, due to several
decisions in lower courts. Though
in many cases accepted as white
men, legally, few people in I'M
perial Valley have considered the
Hindus here as white men, nor could
they well do so, as most of them are
of type considerably darker than
mulattoes and far beyond the CON-
plexion known as swarthv.'
Authorities Differ
Ethonologists, historians an
others have always differed in class
flying the different races and peo-
pie, particularly in the case of Hin
dus, many of whom claim they are
the descendants of the Aryans of
India, which has been recognized
as white.
The decision of the supreme court
was given in the case of Bhagat
Singh, young Hindu who landed
in Seattle in 1913 and served in the
army at Camp Lewis during the war
He was granted certificate of cit
izenship by the United States Dis
trict Court for Oregon, over the pro
test of the government. The govern
ment took the ease to the ninth cir
cult court of appeals, which upheld
the decision of the lower court, and
it was then taken to the supreme
court.
Congress Acts in 1917
In 1917 congress passed an act
under which Hindus were excluded
from the United States, but this did
not affect the status of Hindus who
had entered the country prior to
that date.
According to Attorney General U
S. Webb, actions against the land
swning and land leasing Hindus
under the anti-alien land law, would
be considered when the occasions
arise. The effect of the supreme
court s decision will be closely fol
lowed undoubtedly, by the people OF
Imperial Valley.

In a plea for united Imperial
Valley, and preservation of the
home demonstration department of
the agricultural extension service, J..
R. Bransby, president of the Imper-
ial Chamber Of Commerce, gave q
most interesting talk this noon at
the weekly luncheon of the Chamber
of Commerce at the Barbara Worth
hotel.
Mr.. Brans1y urged that the vari-
Gus towns and sections Of Imperial
Valley forget their differences and
grievances, real or fancied, and set
tie down to real hard work, with all
pulling together for the good of I'm
perial Valley as q whole so that con.
ditions here may be improved so as
to attract the highest class of set
tiers.
One way for doing this, he said,
is to make TIE home life of the
women on the farms, more attractive
and give them at least in small
measure, an opportunity to live in
surroundings that would enable
them to be contented and happy. He
spoke of the recent action of Cover
nor Richardson in recommending tn ,
dlscontinuance of state support for
the home extension work of the farm
advisers, and urged the members of
the chambers of commerce in I'm
perial Valley to lend their support
toward having the appropriation for
this work continued.
He suggested concentrated pol
icy of advertising, as one of the
best means of bringing Imperial
Valley before the rest of the coun-
try and attracting desirable class
of settlers here. ~
L. M, Hutchinson, formerly pres
ident Of the Calexico Chamber OF
Commerce, extended greetings from
that body and seconded the remarks
of Mr. Bransby, intended to create
81 more friendly feeling between tho
Chambers of Commerce in all valley
cities. p.

After hearing the arguments OF
