City Relief Load
8 Percent Lower

Detroit relief costs are running
about S625.000 a month for $3.50
cases-about 8 per cent under
last month-and should drop an
other Is per cent by Jan. is. .
The trend, according to Daniel
]. Ryan. welfare superintendent.
will depend upon the rehiring Of
1000 employable persons now on
relief and no further strikes in
the auto industry.
Ryan said he had asked 500
major employers in the Detroit
area to give preference to the
abIebodied persons now on relief.

On Injjustices Against Japanese In U.s..

was appealed to the State Supreme
Court which, on April II. 1852, un-
equivocally declared the land law
unconstitutional as obviously de-
signed and administered as an IN
strument for effectuating racial dis
elimination. A forty-year-old le-
gal Frankenstein was dead
Many people who objected to the
McCarran-Walter Immigration
Act must have wondered why the
Japanese American Citizens League,
speaking for japanese Americans
generally, used all its vigor and re-
sourcefulness in favor of the bill.
Two reasons stand out: the racial
slur of the 1924 act against Japan
was taken back by giving her a
quota; 2. refusal of naturalization on
racial grounds was repudiated. A
path was thus cleared for the ma
turalization of over $4,000 Issei in
Hawaii and the United States.
SUNSET OF THEIR LIVES
Since the average age of the lssel
now is 81, this lifting of the bar to
citizenship comes in the sunset OF
their lives Despite their age, how
ever they are porting over history
books and polishing up on their
English in preparation for natura-
lization tests. 1t is estimated that
over 1000 were naturalized in 1858,
while more than 10000 are waiting
to take their tests. Although the
immigration quota for Japan is on
ly 1876, more than 10000 Japanese
women have been admitted to the
states since the war on non-quota
basis, almost all as war brides.
In concluding this study. I would
like to point out one of the most
striking facts about the Nisei-their
high level of education. Studies
based on the 1850 census show that
the median school years completed
by the p 7ulation at large was 9.3
as against 1872 for the Nisei. This
concern for education reflects credit
on both 1ssei parents and Nisei
child and highlights one of the per-
manent values which Japanese A
mericans mphasize-esteem for
things of the spirit
The Issei struggle to educate their
children has been repaid, for inlaw
m, edicine, Journalism, art, they have
waged a successful battle against
unjust laws and prejudice. If any
group of Americans is self-made, it
is that of Japanese descent This
fact should be stressed both at
home and in Asia. for it is proof
that, though racism is not dead in
the United States, it can be dealt
moral blows by those who will cou-
rageously and persistently use the
democratic institutions available.

Q Child Support After Divorce


When John and Susan were di-
vorced the decree contained an Or
der requiring John to pay Susan
the sum of 500 each month for the
support of their two minor child
rem, both of whom were under Is
years of age
John paid the 500 each month
for year. He then heard that Su-
san had married again, SO he dis
continued the monthly payments
A half year later he was served with
an order citing him into court for
contempt of court A warrant was
also issued and he was arrested and
charged with the felony of family
desertion. He protested bitterly
that he wasn't required to pay any
more since his former vile had
married again
When he appeared at the hearing
on the show cause order he learned
that his understanding of the law
was faulty. They explained to him
that, although Susan had remark
ed, he was still the father of his two
children and was as responsible for
their welfare as he had ever been
This would continue to be so un-
til the children became of age I'M
less the step-father should adopt
the children. Therefore, he was
still liable to Susan for the support
money payments and could be pu-
nished by the court, even by impri-
sonment if necessary for his refusal
to comply with the court order
And he could also be tried on the
criminal charge of failure to sup
port his minor children under the
age of 16 years and could be sent to
the state penitentiary if found gull
ty.

From The Social Order
About six months before the E.
vacuation Claims Act was passed,
the U S. Supreme Court in Oyama
v. State of California handed down
a major decision bearing on Cali
fornia's Alien Land Law. In its de-
cision, January 10. 1913, the court,
reversing the decision of the Cali
fornia Supreme Court, declared
that, if a parent ineligible for citi-
zenship because of race buys land
in the name of his citizen son, it is
unreasonable to demand that the
son prove this is not done in viola
ton of the Alien Land Law Al
though the court, four members
dissenting, refused to invalidate the
land law it pulled its fangs by le-
CALLING purchase of land in the
name of son. California recogni-
zed the implications TO the decision
by dropping some fifty escheat pro-
ceedings in progress
LAW TESTED
Heartened by this decision, Los
Angeles Issei newspaper publisher
Sci Fuiii tested the Alien Land
Law by purchasing a piece of pro-
perty and commencing a disclaimer
suit against the state On April %,
