In four cases involving statutes of Washington and of California the Supreme Court of the United States has sustained the power of the states, under existing treaties with Japan, to prevent Japanese subjects from becoming lessees of agricultural land," from becoming stockholders in. a corporation authorized to own agricultural land,2 and from making so-called "cropping contracts" for cultivating such land.3 The major issues involved in these decisions have already been treated in the pages of this Review' and the discussion here will content itself with an exposition, and analysis of the Supreme Court opinions in the recent cases. The most serious problem was presented by the "cropping-contract" case from California. In this case the Supreme Court quite patently misinterpreted the California statute of 19205 and inadequately distinguished the decision of the Supreme Court of California in the Okahara Case which put upon that statute a binding interpretation. Whether these intellectual mishaps rendered the Supreme Court decision erroneous is another and more difficult question. This, however, is of speculative rather than of practical significance, for the California statute of 19237 explicitly interdicts such cropping contracts.

Japanese immigrants perceived the 1920 California Alien Land Law as a "bread-and-butter" issue (literally "life-and-death"). Seeing its enactment as a serious threat to their livelihood, they fought the law in many ways. Many scholars discount the effectiveness of the law, suggesting that Japanese farmers did not suffer from either its enactment or enforcement. They believe that the farmers successfully circumvented the law by one means or another.l Other scholars argue that the 1920 law and a post-World War I recession caused a sharp drop in Japanese agriculture during the twenties.2 No scholar, however, has studied Japanese immigrant sources fully enough to substantiate either interpretation. Nor has any scholar presented a historical account and analysis of how the Japanese immigrants themselves responded to the 1920 law. Using previously unexamined Japanese immigrant sources, this essay will reexamine the question of the 1920 California Alien Land Law and its effect on Japanese farmers during the twenties from a Japanese immigrant perspective. Statistics of Japanese farmholdings reflect the growth of Japanese
