This status Is acquired by any Island-bom Japa nese, who, under the laws of our country Is nn American citizen, liavlnc been born on American soil, nut who Is also a Japaneso citizen under the laws ot Japan, whlcn hold ony child of Japanjrso parent lo be a Japanese citizen. Under thcup circumstances a (crave doubt exists ns to which country would claim the allegiance of tho citizen In tho event of war between the the two countries. So stronc has tho opposition on the part of Americans becomo to this system that many leland-born Jap anese have voluntarily sought and obtained expatriation, acoordtne to Consul General Yada, represent Ing tho Japanese gnvemmeut In Honolulu. Mr. Yada further states that no opposition to this move ment Is oftcrod on tho part of the homo government at Toklo. Mlchtly Mixed.
