JAPANESE LAND DECISION

For upward of fifteen years the
people Of the United States had it
drummed into them that it. was an
injustice to Japanese to not permit
them to own land in Pacific coast
states; that the California. Washing
ton and other land laws aimed at
them were too drastic and in viola
ton OF treaty rights. that such inde-
pendent action of the states involved
was sure to lead to war.
Now comes the supreme court Of
the United States with a decision
that has the effect Of refuting all
OF these contentious. The court has
upheld the laws Of California and
Washington in toto. ard has gone
fartehr in a second decision within
two weeks of the first. setting out
that California has n perfect right
to pass 4 law against aliens ineli-
gible to citizenship in any way what
ever participating in a leasehold on
agricultural land OF other real es-
tate.
Taking these propositions in their
order it may first be noted that if it
were an injustice to Japanese to de-
priye them of the privilege of own
ing land, the sumpeme court. which
deals in Justice, that being it's stock
in trade. has not so considered it..
On the other hand this highest Of
courts of justice has decided that it
is the opposite, that to permit them
to own such lands would be an injus-
tice 20 the states and their people.
This shodld be a final answer to the
injustice" argument which never
was anything but cant. bunbombe
and rot air.
On the st:phd proposition the de.
cisions ba'a n like effect. No law is
too drastic il within tie right OF the
lawmakin1 body to pass it. The III.
preme court holds t1at the states
have such i.ght and have not in any
manner exceeded their rowcrs CT
the propr:et;cs.
This proposition as set fcrtn tn
wolves the famed one of alleged vio-
lation of treaty rights. No treaty
with Japan has ever mentioned the
land matter in terms. Both countries
have merely contracted to give the
citizens Of each other the same
rights as those of the most favored
nation which is a diplomatic term
that is strictly relative and not def
mite nor fixed. Tho Japanese conten-
ton is that its subjects residing in
the United States should have the
same rights as those Of any other ma
ton that is the most friendly with
the United States and whose SUBJ
jects are allowed to own land here.
The American viewpoint is that mas
much as Japan allows no alien to
own. land this country by the treaty
has granted no greater right than
that received in return.
Much has beer. said about treaties
being tie supreme law Of the land
and such is the language OF the fed
eral constitution. yet no one has ever
claimed that a treaty can tie made
to override the constitution itself.
The same constitution has given each
state absolute control over its land
laws, and while a treaty may be su
preme where there is no law to the
contrary, it is not the province of
treaty makers to ertcr into agree
ments which have the effect of re-.
pealing laws that for more than 100
years have been in force, OF o.

ran side Of the controversy Is we'll.
Many are the causes for qualification
yer the result, but none more so
than the fac. that the supreme court
has shown that it has the courage to
put its foot down and say no, paying
10 heed to these everlasting war
bogies that have disturbed the coun-
try since 1905 when President Roose-
welt was frightened by a war threat
until he in turn threatened to call out
the army and navy to lombard San
Francisco for providing separate
schools for Japanese pupils, another
constitutional right of each and
every state.
