Senator Frazier Takes Up
Jap School Question.
THE RIGHTS OF STATES
TENNEssEEAN IN SPEECH BE-
FORE SENATE GRlLLs THE
PRESIDENT AND SAYS THAT
QUESTION TENDS TO ROB A
STATE OF ITS RIGHTS.

Washington, Feb. Federal en-
croachment on state rights with the
japanese school question as the prin-
cipal Illustration. was the subject of
an address to the senate today by
Senator Frazier of Tennessee.
Mr.. Frazier said this was not ques-
tion that concerned California, bat
concerned the rights of the state to
control its own state affairs If the
federal government by treaty could, rob
ia state of the right to control it's own
school system, athe last stronghold of
local government was destroyed.
If treaty could force Mongolians into
the white schools of California, like
treaty could force the negroes of Cuba,
Santo Domingo Hayti and the Congo
into the schools of Tennessee in de-
fiance of the laws for the separation of
the races. He expressed the highest
admiration for the Japanese, but said
the action of California furnished no
pretext for a quarrel with that coun-
try. The school board of San Fran
cisco had simply executed a state law
providing for the education of white
and Japanese children in separate
schools. 1t had been declared over and
over again that states have a perfect
right to make such separation, that the
state of California was but exercising
its constitutional and legal power.
He denied with emphasis that this
government had ever undertaken by
treaty to interfere with the constitu-
tional rights of California in this re-
spect.
The United States government cam
not compel state to create public
schools at all. The schools were crea-
lures of state law. maintained by state
taxation and subject only to state con-
troll. The right of residence guaran-
teed to the Japanese implied the right
to work and make a living, but not to
go to school But even IL the right of
