POINTS OUT WHY
JAP ANESE FEARED
Atty. Joseph A. Scott of Los
Angeles Says Anti-AIien
Law Necessary.

Twenty thousand japanese
citizens. all veterans of the Russo
Japanese war and trained soldiers,
teeming with love of Japan and
ready TO fight at a moments notice.
are at present living in the state of
California. BY accurate calculations
experts of the war department have
learned that it would take just H.
900 men. with $50 pounds Of dyna-
mite, to cut California off from the
rest of the country entirely for six
weeks.
These were the words of Joseph
A. Scott. the distinguished Los
Angeles orator and lawyer in a
speech before the students of the
university Of Notre Dame last night
in Washington hall. Mr. Scott, with
his wife and a party of friends. stop
ped off at Notre Dame on his way to
Pittsburgh.
People in the east" he continued,
criticize the Californians for the
passage of the much-talked about
anti-alien law, but the trouble is
that they do not understand the
Japanese situation in California.
Not only must the law be put into
operation for economic reasons, but
the question has also a grave politi-
cal aspect.
Saturated with Patriotism.
THE japanese are literally satur-
ated with patriotism, with intense
devotion to the Japanese ideal. To
them their country means every
thing. The mikado is not merely a
ruler of the people; he is set up on a
higher plane than the ordinary man,
and the people look on him as a sort
of demi- god"
The speaker told of a Japanese
naval officer. who had come to the
United States and spent two years
as a chore boy in order TO learn the
English language and the American
ways of doing things. This. he said,
is nothing uncommon. Every hard
ship will be undergone in order TO
live up 10 the Japanese ideal.
THE Japanese" declared Scott,
have nothing in common with our
ideals. Americans can not own land
in Japan. yet they come to the
United States expecting 10 accumu-
late wealth without any trouble. The
California anti-alien law given each
foreigner the same rights an Amer
lean may enjoy in his land; there
fore the Jap is not allowed TO own
land. Americans can't seem 10 realize
that these little yellow men are a
strong. vigorous. fighting race, i'm
bued with a desire TO see their coun-
try at the top of the list of nations,
and ready to give their lives TO ad-
vance its standing.
People i'm the east are worry
ing over the question Of the social
ed "hyphenated Americans There
is indeed no hyphen question. The
next war may be fought, not on the
Atlantic ocean, or near IL. but on
the Pacific coast, with California as
the landing place for the japanese
armies
