JAPAN AND THE
UNITED STATES

Japanese question. After noting
that Japan is trying to reduce emil
grafton to the United States, that it
prefers to have its people go to
Korea and Manchuria rather than
to the United States. 1t says: ''Still
there is a sting in the protruding
fact for the Japanese-th bald fact
of a strong race prejudice. In war,
in craftsmanship, in art, in
science, they have won the admit
ration of the world; but they now
discover that the American, and the
Englishman in spite of their adj
miration for these achievements,
draw color line against them, as
they draw it against other colorcd
races Their government is cor
daily admitted into the family of
nations and their men of culture
and distinction are welcomed by
white men, but the Japanese la
borer may not freely share the OPP
portunities that are open in the
white mans land in America to
other white men of whatever race
or country. There is hidden some
where in this distinction trouble
for the future -
Where is the hidden danger /?
Gould Japan conquer that prejudice
through WARP And in demand
ing that the United States shall be
relieved from the further inva-
sion of Japanese coolies is that do
ing worse by Japan than Japan is
doing by Gilman
While Japan exercises her prero-g
ativc and keeps poor Chinese from
her territory, on what ground can
she claim she is sighted and her
<dignity hurt, if our country, while
admitting her educated people
excludes her coolies? The Chi
nese are the better race OF the two,
more honorable and honest and
more faithful and industrious.
Such notorious cheats are the
Japanese that Japanese merchants
employ Cinnamon to keep their
books and look after their cash.
Is It not possible that right now
Japan is suffering under an aggra-
waited and protracted case of the
big head? That she would fain
magnify her power and the courtc-
sizes that are her due? Aside from
the pauper labor which her coolies
bring to this country, they have
some traits OF character which
Americans do not like. They
assume too much; they lack in
faithfuIness; thoy are industrial
shirks; they assume airs which do
moi become servants; they are
prone to oomplaia at the slightest
opportunity. Let any American
acsrry an invention to Japan and it is
>saolen from him at once. Let him
carry stock of articles which he
has invented to Topic. like a
sewing machine, for instance, and
He will sell just one. Then in a
few days he will find store filled
with like machines with his own
American mark upon them right
across the way, and the price will
be just about what the material
an the machine originally cost
him. Is that the kind of a race
that the United States wants to
