TIE JAPs. AND CALIFORNIA

The Caucasans OF California have a race prob
lem on their hands japanese by the thousands
have flockcd TO the Pacific slope for there they
have found q land Of milk and honey They en-
10Y the elbow room and freedom that they dad not
experience m their own crowded little islands But
they have begun to crowd the white peoplc-the
American and fellows OF has kind. Now an Amer
lean does not object 20 a Crowd-hc rather likes It
# IT Is Of his own color and OF his own sentiments
But hc has long held TO thu view that yellow man
~ yellow man and white man is white man
Both may be superior in their way, but only IN
their way The two must have their separate so
cial oreaaaaions and their iralernal associations
There ~ an insurmountable barrier that neither
race may cross without endangering the peace and
happiness OF both peoples
The California problem could easily be adj
lused by the laps who have much to be proud OF
IN then own achievements approaching that self
respect that counts with civilization No seli-re-
spectng person would push himself into society
where he has no welcome.
Americans who have encouraged the yellow
races to make the Pacific slope their home are
more responsible for the present diplomatic tan
gle than the laps themselves. First exploiting the
cheap labor. they gave these people from the land
OF the chrysanthemum an invitation which they
misnterpteted We want you as servants, they
SAID The industrious and frugal Japs became a
servant long enough to earn money sufficient to
put hum INTO business Then he began employing
servants OF his own But the Japanese are not
mixers IN the American sense. And there is
where the trouble lies
AIMED with a treaty signed by Uncle Sam
which gives them the rights all other aliens
they face a public sentiment that would tear that
treaty into bits and cast It to the four winds
The situation has It's dangers that only level
headed statesmen and sober minded patriots
should be allowed to meet.-Dalas- Times Her
