ALIEN LAND BILL OPPOSED

Seattle Federation of Churches Denounces Legislative Measure.

Denouncing the antialien land bill as provocative of trouble between the United States and Japan and contrary to the Bible and Declaration of Independence, a resolution has been adopted by the executive committee of the Seattle Federation of Churches and forwarded to Olympia.

The resolution charges that the bill is the direct product of anti-Japanese agitation in California, and represents a sentiment foreign to this state, "there being no real Japanese question here."

The resolution urges defeat of the "totally uncalled-for and mischievous measure" on the ground that it is in all probability unconstitutional; will serve no useful purpose; will increase resentment in Japan toward the United States; is in spirit out of harmony with the teachings of the Bible; is contrary to the Declaration of Independence and un-American.
