The Police Commissioners of San Francisco have been failing to take action on business license applications of Japanese immigrants for some time, at first giving various excuses as to the delay, and then, after protests from the Japanese Consulate, denying these licenses without explanation. California law on this matter seems to be in violation of both the United States Constitution, as well as the Commercial Treaty of 1894, in which citizens of the United States and Japan are guaranteed the right to reside in and work for a living in the other country.
