American oil operations in saudi
Arabia.)
The largest American oil enter
prise outside the United States Is
in Saudi Arabia. King Ibn Saud
granted q contract in 1888 to the
Arabian american Oil Co., giving
it sole rights to oil exploitation IN
his country until 1888.
Aramco Is now getting 800 900
barrels of oil daily from nearly so
wells without pumping. The com.
pany paid King Ibn Saud nearly
$24, 900, 900 royalty last year and
declared its first $4,000, COO divid-
end for its parent companies.
These are the Standard Oil Com
panies of California, New Jersey
and New York and the Texas Co.
King Gets Royalties
The king can expect over $25,-
0O0,O 900 this year and more than
$35, ,OO0, 900 in 1949 II the planned
Aramco expansion is achieved.
Among its projects is the Trans
Arabian pipeline, to cost possibly
SITS ,000, 600 and deliver SOC, 900 bar
rels of Arabian oil daily to Medi-
terranean port nearly 100 miles
distant.
Because Of Arab animosity in
Syria, "tapline," as the project is
known, Is getting started first In
Saudi Arabia, where there is leg
Of 875 miles.
Tapline originally was supposed
to terminate on the Palestine coast.
The terminal later was shifted to
Sidon, in Lebanon. This may have
to be changed If the Syrian parlia-
ment, meeting March 81, does not
approve tapline crossing In TO Le-
banon.
Despite political hazards sur
rounding the project, an engineer
ing base already has been estab-
fished ut the Saudi Arabian coastal
village of Ras al Mishaab. About
500 American technicians are there.
The first 40 miles of pipe have ar
rived from California. The COM
pany expects to complete tapline
in 1850.

legislative procedures concerning
the measure.
Senator McGrath said he favored
the bill, and pointed out he intro

naturalization laws eliminate race

Senator McGrath's measure was
the first Of its kind ever introduced

He said he saw no reason to chan

his personal support of the natural

The senator's backing is consider

occupies with the Democratic party.
His prestige was tremendously en-

Settlement Nears for Peru Japanese
Stranded in U.s., MasaOka Reports

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. le-
For the first time since their ar
rival In the United States early in
the war, there appears some hope
that the future of several hundred
Peruvian Japanese stranded in AM
erica may possibly be nearing a
settlement.
The curious. but little known case,
of those people without q country
goes back to the early days Of the
war when the United States agreed
to intern enemy aliens Of Latin AM
erica II those countries deemed such
persons dangerous to hemisphere
security.
In all, approximately 2000 Japa-
nese were sent 20 the United States
for internment. Approximately 80
percent came from Peru.
Within q matter of months after
the U. S. began accepting these
Peruvians Of Japanese ancestry, for
NAL Investigations by our own Dep
artment Of Justice revealed virtually
no basis for terming them danger
Gus aliens" After some argument
with the State Department. the Jus
tee Department refused to cooper
ate further in interning aliens un-
less they were screened and found
suspect.
From that time on, internees
from South America were investi-
gated prior to lnternment. and no
more persons Of Japanese ancestry
were sent from Peru to the United
Ststes.
Peruvian japanese sent to the
United States by their mother coun-
try were given permission to accept
deportation to Japan, or remain in

ed and found non-dangerous by tbs
Department Of Justice.
A number did go from America
to Japan, and, since the end of the
war. a few individuals have beer
permitted to return to Peru. But
living within the United States
still are several hundred Peruvian
Japanese, whom their own govern
ment so far has refused to readmit
AS far as the United States Is con-
cerned, the Peruvian Japanese have
been classified illegal immigrants
and thus are subject for deporta
ton to Japan.
However, Peruvian Japanese them
selves either want to return to Peru
or remain in the United States.
None still In this country have in
Dictated any desire to return to Jap
an.
In this curious state Of suspend
ed citizenship" these Peruvian jap
anese have lived in the U. s. for
almost seven years, though many
have families they have not seen
since leaving Peru. and, of the mar
ried couples, a number have child
rem born in this country, and thus
now American citizens.
At the request of a number of
Peruvian Japanese, the JACL Anti
Discrimination Committee recently
began an investigation into their
position the United States.
And now, according to National
Legislative Director Mike Masaoka,
something may be done for these
persons"
A revolution In Peru has over
thrown the Wartime government.
During recent visit to the PERU
Wan embassy, Masaoka said embas-
sy officials informed hin. they would
ask their government to reaccept
the return of Peruvians Of Japa-
nese ancestry informed In the Uni
ted States.
At the same time, Masaoka said
he discussed their plight with the
Immigration and Naturalization
Service. In an informal opinion, the
Central Office Of the immigration
and Decentralization service said II
Is possible Peruvian Japanese may
qualify to remain In the United
States as legal immigrants under
terms OF the Stay of Deportation
Act passed by the Eightieth Con-
gress.
This approach, Masaoka added,
will be explored more fully In the
near future"
Meanwhile, the State Depart
ment's Office of Inter-American
Affairs, said it will make represent
tafions to the Peruvian government
to accept Peruvian Japanese still.
III America.
Although still technically In
custody, virtually all the Peruvian
Japanese have found private en-
ployment. with the largest number
working at Seabrook farms. in New
Jersey.
All in all, said Masaoka, recent
events "have given us some hope
that at last We may be approaching
some level where steps might pos
sibly be taken to give these unfor-
tunate persons permanent home
somewhere a home of their choice
land once again reunite families
broken up and scattered halfway
