An hundred or more Japanese gathered
together last night at the Japanese Mis-
sion. $50 East Fifty-seventh street, OF
which the Rev. Hirose Is the pastor, to dis
cuss the San Francisco incident and the
attitude the Japanese in this country should
assume toward the problem.
There were four speakers, M. Fukutomi

Shimbun. was the first speaker. He spoke
OF his experience in San Francisco, how
even a shoe shine boy insulted him with
"Hallow, JOHN or Hollow, Charley,
whereas in the East he would never be
insulted by a shoe shine boy in that fashion,
The next speaker was @. Asai, a japanese
lawyer. He expressed his desire that
Ambassador Aoki act somewhat more
~strenuousIy in his duty.
The next speaker was a young man who
made an impromptu speech.
The last speaker was Y. Nakatsuka, an
international lawyer. He denounced in
strong terms the San Francisco board
Of education for its violation Of the prin-
ciple of education, OF the treaty rights
of the japanese and OF the Constitution
OF the United States.
we must defend our rights. This is
not the only time that anything Of this
nature happened"
Then he spoke Of his experiences in his
school days in San Francisco. He was a
student Of a high school there some years
ago. Some Japanese students have been
told by the principal OF the school to leave
the school because there was no room for
them. Nakatsuka as one OF the COMMITTEES
called on the principal Busch and ~pursuade
him to let the Japanese students return
to the school before the matter was brought
before the board Of education.
aGentlemen," Nakatsuka continued, this
an~ti-Japanese movement in San Francisco
will appear from time to ime in some form
or another. We must be always on our
guard" -, ,
by the San Francisco Board OF Education
to allowing Japanese students in public
schools under two headings:
1. Legal.
2. Conventional.
And discussed every point in detail,
leaving no ground for the school board
to stand on.
~We Japanese come to America to learn
the American ways. II our students are to
be classed and taught in the separate schools
together with the Chinese and the Coreans,
why should We not go to China and Coreap"
Nakatsuka criticised Aoh for what he
has done some ten years z when he was
the Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs.
The American Government requested the
Japanese Government 20 restrict the jap
anese coming to America on the ground
that some Of the Japanese coming over are
not desirable.
-Instead of finding a way Of Kidding this
request, Aoh complied with the request OF
the American Government"
Nakatsuka advioed the audiences TO try
to be a political factor in this country, and
also to learn lessons from the examples OF
Carnegi ! Carl Schurz.
by becoming American citizens We will
not be obliged to forget our native land
Carne gle after he made his millions sends
moneys to Scotland, Carl Schurz have been
wont TO help Germans in Germany as well
as in this country. Why should we not do
the same things?' JHEI HAsHI0UCHI.
