This column marks the date of November 13, 1922 as a poor one for the assembled masses who happened to have been of Japanese ancestry in the United States. On that date Justice George Sutherland (1862-1942), of the United States Supreme Court, handed down the ruling that “the Japanese can not be citizens of this country”. The opinions of many American Newspapers are presented herein, among them an excerpt from the St. Louis “Star” which summed up the opinion just so:
“The law which prevents the naturalization of Japanese is plainly intended to exclude the Japanese because they are racially unassimilable and their presence creates economic difficulties.”
