The question as stated by Gov. Johnson is just this: If the proposed antialien land laws give offense to the Government at Tokyo. the California executive absolves the State from all blame on the ground that Federal statutes have already drawn the line which the State now seeks to establish. The proposed law only bars from ownership of land an alien who can not or will not become a citizen of the State. and if Japan is affected. then that is due to the fact that a Japanese can not become naturalized. Ilow. then. can the United States Government complain? She and not California is to blame.
