The situation is regarded here as
exceedingly grave. l am inclined to
think there will be no war unless
there should be some outbreak like
riots that would complicate the stu
alton, just as the blowing up of the
Maine caused the war with Spain.
But the Japs are crowding in through
British Columbia, along the Pacific
Coast and Mexico and sboner or lat
er we must let them come with all
it means to our standards and our
civilization, or we must fight. There
is but one answer. 1t means war

We take great pride in our mag

expenditure of labor. Some of this
money and labor spent on making
our farms more productive would
mean more of meat and bread for
hungry people and lay a more Ger
tain foundation for our comfort in
years to come. The cities are sap

ference. A big farm has its black

seems to me the Japs are feared be-
cause they can and will do about
fifty per cent more work than any
body else and that they will, if Civ
en- the chance, literally drive the
white people out of the state.
There are other objections, main
ly that they are an alien race, with
a low standard of living, low morals
and unfit for association with our

pay the highest prices, but immed-
lately all the adjacent property falls
in price. They make no improve
ments but live in shacks with a pig

in the rear, it does not make any
difference. There are now about
fifty thousand Japs in California.

ticle a few days ago by Edwin Mark
ham about the farmers in Japan. He
says that forty six per cent of them
cultivate only an acre and a quarter
OF land and that twenty five per cent

and half. Only one japanese far
mer in hundred has as much as
twenty-five acres.

that we should have more ground

cry farm has a good garden, which
shows that the land can be increas-
ed in productiveness if given the at
tention. The time is going to come
when the country will not support
the population unless the land is
cultivated on the intensive plan. We
have fifteen million more people in

years ago, and while there is the
