A. d. McEvoy, a former secret SER
vice agent of the United States who
was actively engaged in government
work in Hawaii, does not share the
general feeling of good will towards the
japanese that has been brought out
during the recent attempt of the Cali
fornia legislature to pass anti-Japanese
legislation. On the contrary, he be-
lieVeS the japanese are dangerous ana
threaten the peace and welfare OF the
United States and are establishing
themselves in the west for that pur-
pose. In an interview Mr.. McEVoy
said:
cit seems very plain to me that a
great number of the people of the Gold
en- state are being blfndfolded by the
satellites of the great railways ana
other corporate bodies in relation to the
invasion of our state and country oy
the Japanese, who are coming in
through the gateway of our shores sur
rounding the Pacific ocean. The negro
problem, which is a very serious one,
falls into inSignificance in comparison
with the dangers of having the yellow
hordes come in on US by the hundreds
of thousands, with the only purpose or
colonizing our country and securing the
principal industries, which result ulti-
mately in the driving out of our labor
ing men and women. There are thou

from Canada and Mexico, and the GUS

our streets but what you will meet a
half dozen or more of those people.
There are several thousand more Jap
anese here today than six months ago.
The japanese is a dangerous man for
several reasons.
''In the first place, he is satisfied with
almost anything in the shape of wages,
and can exist where the white man will
nearly starve. In the second place, he
dresses like a white and by so doing
gains a greater advantage over the
Chinese, who demand big wages for
their labor. In the third place he is a
most immoral individual and also as a
race. In the fourth place he has no
respect for our laws, and is a fanatic
when fighting. In the fifth place, he is
a spy at all times and does not fear
death as such. which enables him to
secure our military and other secrets
and to safeguard them until they reach
his government.
Says Perkins Right
LET me tell the American people that
it is the intention of these people to so
entrench themselves in California and
other Pacific states that it will be a
very 01fnculC matter TO remove them,
and when the attempt is made, whether
on account of a declaration of war or
by legislation, you will find that there
will be terrible slaughter of our people
by them, as their religion is to die
fighting for their emperor.
''Our senator, George c.. Perkins, is
perfectly right when he says that Cali
fornia has a right to legislate against
the yellow peril as he is in possession
of the information which l now diVulge
to The Herald. 1 conveyed such in
formation to him about one year ago,
and he has acted on the strength of it
ever since; I also mailed him my affi-
daVit from Honolulu, by which several
senators were converted to annexation
of Hawaii. Our senator is fully aware
of the danger to California and our
whole country by the invasion of the
Japanese, and fully appreciates the
need of a more radical exclusion law
by which those people will be barred
forever from our Shores and our work.
ing classes given a chance to exist, if
nothing more. If the invasion of our
state is allowed to continue, and they
gain a strong foozhold, [ can safely
predict that in less than five years
they will have secured such a strong
foothold that they can meyer be re-
moved, even by a war.
when the negro race first became
dangerous it was a very easy matter
to remove them, but let me see you
do it now. There are not enough ships
