Argument was begun yesterday in the United States Supreme Court in the allen land cases from California and Washington, involving the con- stitutionality of the laws of those states prohibiting allens ineligfble for tizenship from owning or Reasing nds. The lower courts upheld the stitutionality. Louis Marshall, counsel for those challenging the laws, contended that the leglslation was invalid, in that it constituted an unconstitutional dis- crimination against persons on ac- count of their eolor and race and vio- lated the fourteenth amendment to the federal constitution After he had completed his argu- ment Attorney General Webb of Cal- ifornia began to present a reply pre- o e pared along legal lines, but a series| of questions from Chief Justice Taft and other members of the court led him into a discussion of political phases of the Japanese question on the Pacific coast. During his argument Mr. Marshall declared that “a negro living in the Kongo without coming to the United States coulg. under the allen land laws of Callfornia, own all the land he wanted because he was eligible | to citizenship, while the highly edu- cated and industrious Japanese are axcluded both from owning agricul- tural lands and from citizenship.
