CONCERNING LABOR
IN RURAL REGIONS
MAKES PLEA FOR
JAPANESE HELP

Editor Call-Sir: Your comments on
an extract from my letter to the
Fresno Herald seem to miss the point.
1 think the time is here for equal linn
itation of all foreign immigration.
While the rural occupations all over
the country are losing wealth for lack
of labor, our southern European immi-
grafton is congesting in cities. where
it adds to the glutted ranks OF the un-
employed. Why increase that fmmigra-
ton. by hundreds OF thousands and
thereby add to the gIut?
When the need in this state is for
adequate rural labor. why join the cry
of agitators to fire" this kind OF labor
that willingly adapts itself to country
life. and that works?
The number of Chinese and Japanese
here is decreasing. The essence OF the
objection to them is that they will
work. The Japanese are a self-re-
speeding people. and in regard 10 order.

average higher than much OF our Eu-
ropean immigration Then why appeal
to race prejudice by continual harpfns
upon their faults. without giving credit
for their virtues2
My ideas are probably out Of date.
but II seems to me that San Francisco
and California should be the last to
display hatred Of the Japanese. When
this city was burned and its people
homeless and hungry. Japan was the
only foreign country that heard their
cry and sent for their relief s245. 600.
1t seems to me that we might make a
more kindly return than kicking a few
japanese children out of our schools
and firing japanese workmen out Of
rural communities. when no substitute
