The United States Government is being called upon up-on to face some of the questions of interest resulting from the expansion policy, A question of the greatest importance im-portance is the determination of the status of some of our newly acquired citizens or subjects. Already a Chinaman China-man by birth but a Pilippine by citizenship citi-zenship has applied for recognition as an American citizen. Another Chinaman China-man in Hawaii wants a passport showing show-ing he is a citizen of the United States. The annexation law prohibits the coming com-ing into the limits of the United States of Chinese persons from Hawaii, but the constitutionality of any act that proposes to discriminate among American Ameri-can citizens has been raised, and this Chinaman is a citizen by adoption. |
