Straus and Sargent Declare War

PROMOTERS TO Be PUNISHED
investigation Shows That Importation
Not Only Of Japanese Women but
Women From France. Austria, Rus.
sIa and Italy.


Washington, Oct. l.. - Secretary
Straus Of the department Of COM
merce and labor and Frank P. Sar-
gent. commissioner general of immi-
grafton, have determined to eliminate
the white slave" traffic from the
United States If possible.
On his recent trip through the
northwestern and Pacific Coast states
Secretary Straus' attention was direct.
ed to the increasing importation of
women for immoral purposes. The
Japanese and Korean Exclusion league
Informed him that hundreds of Japa-
nese women were Being brought to
America surreptitiously and set in
practical slavery after their arrival
mere. 1t was stated the women were
sold by their importers precisely as if
they We're so. many bales of goods.
Secretary Straus ordered a rigid in
vestigation and it was discovered that
the white slave" traffic was far more
widespread than had been suspected,
involving the importation into Amer.
lea not only of Japanese women but of
women from France, Austria, Russia
and Italy.
It is proposed to have a careful in
curry instituted, in all of the large
cities particularly, and a roundup of
alien immoral women will be made.
Those who have not been in the coun-
try three years and are found to have
been brought here illegally will be
arrested and subsequently deported.
Before they are returned to their ma
tive lands, however, they will be re-
quired to furnish evidence against
those who brought them here and
prosecutions will be begun against
those responsible for the traffic. It is
proposed to make examples of such
men and women by securing convic-
lions, if possible, and sending them to
prison.
