But the purpose to do so is now obvious. The exclusion laws of the State of California did not suit the majority of the members of the United Nations representatives. and they implanted in this Charter the intended power to change our laws. When the Fujii case in California reached the court of appeals. the learned judge said: The Charter as ratified by the Senate has become the supreme law of the land. and hence the provisions of the California Exclusion Act conflict with the Charter of the United Nations. and hence the California law must be set aside. It was. It is likely that no Senator ever dreamed that the United Nations would ever attempt. either through the Charter or by any subsequent convention. to change the Constitution of the United States.
