Plan New Alien Bill in California to Let Aliens Hold Land
April 30 Sacramento report on a proposed California alien land bill drawn by Attorney General Webb and backed by Governor Johnson. It would allow aliens eligible for U.S. citizenship to own land like natives, while restricted noncitizens could own land only as treaties permit. Secretary of State Bryan urged delay and diplomatic settlement, noting California may regulate land ownership but the national administration opposes broad alien ownership. Washington coverage includes Mississippi Rep. Sisson arguing for war if needed to prevent alien landholding and criticizing Japan over its protests.
