Interracial Marriage
Wide ''publicity has been given the decision of the Supreme Court -�( California that the law, against interracial marriage is unconstitutional.
Japanese have always been
: noted for being camera fiends. j When; VJ-Day c.ame around and ! the Japanese soldiers out in the far east battle grounds had to turn in tjieir belongings, the number of camera.s turned in was it only Incredibly large but ! also worth plenty of money. It j was not' unusual to find a lowly The majority opinion stated that marriage is something private with one of the. better
more than a civil contract subject to regulation by the state, and it is a fundamental fight of free men. It cannot be prohibited, except for important social objectives and then only on the merits of individual cases.. ' ,
The minority opinion held that the law was in fact aimed at important social objectives and that "the crossing 'T.f the primary, rages leads generally to retrogression5'.
Now, the state of California is considering an- appeal tp> the Supreme Court of the United States.
Minprity groups, and we include ourselves, are likely to cheer the California court's decision as a victory for racial equality. And in fact- we do unite with the Japanese American opinion expressed through the Pacific Citizen that .the decision "will do much, to/make the laws of the State, of California consistent with the Constitution of the United
States". �'- :,/:v; :;,_ -".";;;�'�'.: �./.-.'''''�',.:� -/; ".-�/" '::-

iMosl gcnriieists will quesUon the latter .point; (thai intermarriage leads lo retrogression). They lack positive.' evidence thul .ntciu\ crosses, are either good or bad, biologically;
But sociologists in general agree that marriages across ariy gi-eai chasm created by the mores of the lime and lilace run grave social risks, \vhether that chasm be be-l\veen races, cultures, or sharply divergent religious convict ions. Such marriuges face formidable obstacles to success^ They c:in impose strains, confusions, and conflicts upon the children. :Nowhere are these problems more acute (in the t'nitcd States) than where marriages cross the color line. The community often feels the impact as well as the individuals directly iHyplved; .
