McBride asserted todav that American-born Japanese have been substituted for their alien parents as owners or leasors of land in California to such , an extent as to virtually nullify the anti-alien land laws. He introdyced a resolution pro- posing a special investigating com- mittee, stating the subterfuge con- stituted a menace to national de- fense. 5 “Great areas of land over which such aliens exercise all the rights of ownership are situated along the ! shore lines of this State and in many ! places equally vital to the military, political and economic welfare of this State,” the resolution said.
