own way"
America always looks to see
what the people are doing to help
themselves when they are crying
for help from the outside. The ia

clared
He said there has been progress
in restoring Japans economy, but
said the problems ahead must nor
be minimized. However, there is
no longer any danger of imminent

Sebald stated that MacArthurs
actions have done much to inspire

an incentive.

ACHESON HITS
CAL. LAND LAW
AS UNEQUAL

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 30
Former Undersecretary Of STATE
Dean Acheson last week said Cal
ifornia's alien land law patiently
denies Japanese American children
the equal protection" enjoyed by
other native American children.
Acheson appeared before the
U. s. Supreme court on behalf of
Kajiro Oyama. a Japanese alien re-
sident, and his American-bor son,
Fred, who had been ordered TO sur
render two tracts of land In San
Diego county to the State.
The State law forbids any alien
not eligible for American citizen
ship to own land. TIE elder Oya-
ma in 1884, when the boy was 7,
paid for the land and gave the
deed 70 the son as a gift.
The State brought action in 1914
to seize the land, charging Oyama
with evading the law. 1t said the
land was intended for the fathers
use and that the transfer of title
to the son, who was citizen, was
a subterfuge.
Were 1t not for this law" Ace
son said, the State would insist
that the title was in the boy and
1t would protect it for him until he
was 81.
But in Fred's case, the law not
only didn't protect him-the State
actually took the land from him.
This could not happen to any
other boy in California, except Fred
or some other Japanese. In the
case of all others. the law says ex-
actly the opposite"
