Bill Denies Citizenship To Native-Born Japanese

WASHINGTON, Friday, Jan. 5. -- Citizenship would be denied hereafter to American born children of Japanese, and would be taken from many of those who have acquired citizenship under existing laws, if a constitutional amendment which Senator Jones has in hand is submitted and adopted.

The amendment would provide that citizenship by birth cannot be acquired by the children of aliens who themselves under existing laws cannot obtain citizenship. This means, of course, Orientals of the yellow races.

Senator Jones has been urged to introduce and labor for such an amendment. He is now conducting correspondence with several of his friends in the state of Washington and elsewhere on the Pacific Coast on the subject with a view to drafting an effective amendment, which he expects later to introduce.
