JAPANESE IN AMERICA.

LOSS OF NATUEALISA.TION. (Br G»bl»—Pmm Copyright.) Cawtraliaa and N.Z. C»bU AwiooiaHoa.) NEW YORK, November 14/ Th(» Census Bureau Has estimated that approximately 1000 Japanese will lose naturalisation papers already granted them fis a result of the Supreme Court's decision. [The Supreme Court of the United State* ruled that Japanese not being white within the meaning of tut* American s law, were therefore , not entitled to American citizenship. The case arose out of an application by Tekuji Yamashita and Charles Hio Kono for naturalisation for the purpose of forming a business partnership, also an application by Olawa for American citiaensßip on the ground that he was a descendant of the white tribe of Ainu in Japan, which he claimed was true Caucasian etook. The. Supreme Court, while pointing out that its decision in no way established a line of demarcation in the matter of intellectuality, upheld the ruling of several lower courts which had agreed that the Jp'Tmew were clearly not Caucasians, and were therefore-not white within the meaning Of the law.]
