anese born in this country are not en
titled to citizenship despite service In
the United States army, according to
a ruling today by the district court of
appeals here. The case at issue was
that of Ichizo Zato, who sought to
register as a voter here last fall after
he had been admitted to citizenship in
Hawaii and who appealed to the courts
when the county clerk declined tho
registration.
Thp opinion says:
"The appellant is not entitled under
the general naturalization laws, to the
privileges of citizenship, is conclusive
ly shown by section 2109 of 'tho natur
alization laws, which rends as follows:
" 'The provision of this act shall
apply to aliens, being free, white per
sons and to aliens of Africitn nativity
and to persons of Africnn descent.'
"Members of the Japanese race have
never been held to be members of the
white racoj" the opinion says, "and
still less are they members of tho
I black race. But whatever the true
ethnological rulo, the question is set
tled so far as this case is concerned
by' tho express declaration in appel
lant's certificate of naturalization that

when the soldiers' bonus bill was fa

Senator McCumber, republican,
North Dakota, who will have charge
of tho bill in tho senate, explained to
the committee that by postponing the
effective do-to of all provisions of the
bill until January 1, 1923, the accu
mulated lntorest on tho foreign loans
probably would be sufficient to bear
the cost of tho compensation.

Senator McCumber, republican, of
North Dakota, in charge of the hill,
plans to call lt up. in the senate at the
