ACTION ssippian Declares He Is With the People of California in Their Efforts to Prevent the Mikado’s Subjects From Acquiring Land. Washington, April 29—A “war / | Speech” in support of the proposed | | California anti-alien land law was de- | | livered in the house by Representative | Sisson of Mississippi. | | “If we must have war or submit to | | this indignity, I am for war,” cried | Mr. Sisson. “I am with the people of California in their efforts to prevent these aliens from acquiring land. “I believe,” said Mr. Sisson, “that no nonresident alien should be al- lowed to hold a single foot of land in | the territory of the United States. What would Washington say in an-| | swer to the question, war or submis- | sion? What would Jackson say? | What would Cleveland say? What ; would McKinley say? | “I resent the efforts of Japan to force us to submit to her demands.” Mr. Sisson took the position that | the Japanese government, in protest- ing against alien land legislation, was | endeavoring to exempt its citizens | from the operation of laws of states. | Upholds State’s Rights. | “The president and secretary of | | state,” said Mr. Sisson, “should only ; | assure an alien government that the | people of the alien nation would be | | dealt with fairly in accordance with | the law of the state. Any other po- sition would lead to the federal gov- ernment’s taking out from under the laws of the states the citizens of an- other nation. But all citizens or aliens residing in a state must be held sub- ject to its laws and to exempt the alien would give him privileges over and above those accorded to Ameri- can citizens.” Representative Mann, the Republic- an leader, suggested the United States had the constitutional right to teat with foreign powers to secure for American citizens property rights | abroad and that Mr. Sisson was con- tending that the foreign government | did not have a similar right. Mr. Sisson contended that the peo- | ple of California had the right to pass | | laws regarding alien holding of land jas in their judgment seemed best, | when such laws did not infringe upon | the federal constitution.
