advantage may be counter-balanced,
however, when fuller returns are re-

From California.

Chinese exclusion was based on
economic and social reasons. Inc
economic reasons were fallacious. II
the Chinese did our work without de-
moralizing our democracy there was
NO reason why he should not DO II.
But In working he kept out the WHITE
labor. and thus demoralized our so
cial status.
The same reasons were cited as oo-
1ections to the Japanese. He was
found to be a much less valuable
economic quantity than the emma
man. He did not have the same ideas
OF commercial integrity. His soclal
attitude was much more offensive. Ex-
ciusion laws would undoubtedly have
been passed against japanese II their
government had not entered into
treaty to provide against issuing pass
ports to its laboring classes coming
to the United States.
The practical effect OF japanese
land tenure is shown in the japanese
settlements In some or the most fer
tile portions OF California. These are
stunned by white people. This may
or may not be due TO the prejudice or
the white neighbors, but California

II is curious that the Japanese per-
s,stently deny that in their case no
race problem is involved and refuse TO
recognize this as the vital element in
the whole contention. To the thought
full student Of the situation there can
be no assumption Of superiority as ~
ing back Of this racial question
We may admit IL We choose, that
the Japanese are in some particulars
our superiors. We cannot deny. how
ever, that. taken racially, they are
different from white men. They can
not be assimilated with our popula-
ton. The introduction OF permanent
IL defined groups OF non-assimilible
population must necessarily create
bitterness and misunderstanding. and
hamper the development OF Democ-
racy.
The privileged classes Of California
the land owners and great employ
ers OF labor may clamor for this
cheaper labor, but the vast majority OF
Cafiforu1ans wish TO look forward TO
q great state wherein similarity OF
population will make an enlightened
settlement possible.
