ward SeVerlng citizenship ties with Nippon.
 Similar campaigns are being con- ducted by the Young Mems Budd- hist association, the Aiea Japanese Civic association, and the Waialua Improvement association on the island of Oahu. On the isls nd of Hawaii a drive is being fostered by the Society of American Citizens of Japanese Ancestry. Other organi- zations are active on the islands of Maui and Kauai.
 Five Actions Necessary
 Rapid severance of dual citizen ship scarcely can be expected. There are five distinct steps neces- sary to the act. The applicant for repatriation from Japan must ob- tain a copy of the family registry in Japan, which alone requires two to three months. Then he must obtain proof of birth in Hawaii and file this with the registry copy with the Japanese consulate in Hono- lulu.
 These records then are forwarded to the Japanese home ministry, and the name of the applicant is pub lished in the official Japanese Gazette. The Honolulu consulate then notifies the applicalt of such publication. Final steps in the proc ess comes when the applicants family reports his loss of Japanese citizenship to the consulate, which in turn notifies the township gov ernment in Japan where the fam- fly name originally was registered.
 The repatriation movement at present, however, is the most vig- orous yet attempted in Hawaii. Similar campaigns have been con- ducted with only moderate success as far back as 1881.
 Statehood Issue Involved
 Real spur for the drive against dual citizenship came when hear ings conducted by joint con- gressional committee on Hawaiian statehood showed the issue of such citizenship to be one of the main deterents to a grant of statehood. Japanese are haStening to push eX- patriation prior to holding of territory wide plebiscite on the question of whether Hawaii faVors statehood.
 The joint congressional commit tee in its final report recommended that statehood consideration be deferred pending definite determin- ation of island sentiment on the matter. There is every prospect of action by the 1889 session of the territorial legislature to order the necessary plebsicite.
 Latest figures indicate the Japa- nese population in Hawaii totals 151,141 persons, of whom 37,852 are aliens, 113,289 citizens. In the group of citizens an estimated 10000 hold dual citizenship by reason of regis tration of their births with Japa- nese authorities after December l, 1924, while another 15,000 or more retain dual citizenship for other reasons. Unless registered, all chil- dren of Japanese ancestry born after December l, 1924. automatic ally were freed of dual citizenship status.

MOVE TO SHIFT
 CAPITAL BEGUN
 IN CALIFORNIA
Monterey Urges Transfer; State Building Site
 Is Donated

Sacramento, Cal, April 20. (UP) Renewed effort to move the capi- tai of California recalls the tur- bulence of previous transfers of the seat of government, when the state under United States rule after be- ing governed by six other nations. moved its capital five times in six years.
 A campaign has been begun on behalf of a transfer of the capital to the Monterey peninsula. where a site for state buildings has been donated. ...
 Proponents of the move are point ing out Monterey's central location, ideal slimate and the fact that thousands of tourists are attracted to the peninsula yearly by its histo- rical background and resorts.
 They also maintain Monterey is the "sentimental" capital of Cali fornia, as 1t was the seat of govern mont from 17S1 to 1849. In 1849 the first state constitutional convention met in Monterey and decided on San oJse as the capital.
 Foes Point to Investment
 Opponents of the capital trans fer from Sacramento, and they number most citizens not living on the Monterey peninsula, point out other than sentimental reasons. NO argument is the fact that the state has approximately s50,000,0O0 invest ed in property here.
 They also argue that despite pre- cedents in California history, mov- ing the capital is no longer sim sple matter. In the days of the last transfer, in 1854, it wasn't much more complicated than loading a few wagons with documents, seals and records and yelling "giddap"
 The state government travelled light in those days. When the seat of government was transferred from San Jose, where the first session of the legislature convened, to Vallejo, the legislators and their camp-fol- lowers were forced to live aboard an old ship anchored off Vallejo.
 Nor did it flatter legislative dig mites when only nail kegs and blanks were available as seats dur ing the session.
 Benicia Lost to Sacramento
 The capital soon was moved to Benlcia, then to it's present site Ill Sacramento. But its resting place has never been too secure. Many times the issue of its location has superseded interest in the elections.
 The Monterey agitation has led to a petition for an initiative on the November ballot for a consti- tutional amendment providing for transfer of the capital. Approxi- mately 100000 signatures are re- quired by mid-July.
 But things still might be worse, historians point out. In the space of little more than a century the state has been under seven flags. At various times California was gov erned by Spain, England, Russia, Buenos Aires, Mexico, the Bear Flag (independent) and finally the United States.
