WHY JAPS ARE FAVORED.

Washington-ln a speech in the
United Stated Senate on Japanese i'm
migration, Senator Works of California,
gave this insight on pro-Jap agitation:
"Mr. President, there is no persecu-
ton OF the Japanese i'll California. They
are employed in almost all kinds of
work and go unmolested. By many en-
ploycrs they are preferred to white la
borers, because more work for the same
pay can be gotten out of them than from
white laborers, and they demand less in
the way of care and support. In fact,
it is mostly selfshness of the en-
ployer classes in the United States that
brings the Japanese laborer here and
keeps him at work in the place that
should be filled by the white laborer.
with them it is pure matter of
business. They welcome the Japanese
laborer here because they can get more
out of him. Japan does not insist upon
her laborers coming here. She has
agreed to keep them from coming here
! by refusing them passports, and | am
convinced that she has kept the agree
ment in good faith. But, as | have said
her efforts are not effective | am sorry
to say it, but what we need most is no
legislation against the Japanese bu
against the seliishness of our own peo
pie, who disregard the good of thu
masses of the people in their own in
| tereStS."
