Japanese for un-Americanization after
cutting them off from all Americana
rational agencies and placing them
where the chances are GENERALIZATION,
is unjust and ridiculous. But please
remember, that in spite of this unfaV-
orabie condition Japanese have par
TALLY climbed the ladder of American
iZation-a perseverance OF Japanese
which deserve praises instead Of I'M
common-Sense attacks. Why don't
Americans open the door of free pas
sage" and allow Japanese to scatter
themselves on the continent where
they are easily Americanized? In
stead of worrying over that Hawaii'S
government will be some day run by
Japanese, why don't Americans open
the door of free passage and plan to
prevent concentration of orientals in
a single place?
(O TO deprive orientals a free
passage between Hawaii and America
is not only essentially unfair and dis
criminatory but inconsistent with
treaty provisions and opposed to the
spirit of fundamental principles Of
amity between the two nations. will
repeat here again--it is more than
ridiculous" to attack Japanese of Ha-
wall, because Japanese are increasing
and will some day run the territorial!
government, after preventing them
an outlet into the United States and
concentrating them in "one hundred
thousand strong"
Decentralization Is Coming"

with great rapidity and Americans are
fast losing their American spirit

decentralization instead of American
cation. If Americans do not come to
sense and do not heed my suggestion
she must pay her follies some day
with compound interest. Therefore il
you want to Americanize Japanese
quickly and if you want to proven;
concentration of oriental population

not forget to return to every Japanese
of Hawaii that absolute right of free
passage between Hawaii and America
at the earliest possible date.
co. l want to add here also state

that we must avail ourselves of every
opportunity to bring the above points
to the sense of Americans and others.

Thus if young girl
asked me and said: Have you seen

truthfully: why, yes-it was SO cold

Educational Conditions

have actually investigated the schools
of the territory during one of my va
cations last year when l returned to
these islands to regain my health.
Therefore, / am sure that / am not
on the wrong track on this question.
Excuse me for saying that after care
full study Of the school condition Of
dents in California and other Western
states are far more Americanized than
the Oriental pupils Of Hawaii This
may be to some degree due to the en-
vironment, but chiefly due to the eff
cient school condition of the mainland
After. visiting many schools OF the il
lands, l step into college of Haw2 :
simply to investigate how far the Or
entail college students of that cola
were Americanized. To my disappear
ment, / found that they were not full!
AmericaniZed and were not far from,
the condition of lower schools. ! do
not mean to say that the cause CT
this unamericanization of college stu
dents is to be blamed by the college,
nor do / mean to say that those col
lege students are not Americanized at
all. What l mean is that the cause uf
the failure of the college to American,
lie oriental students is in the lower
schools and the oriental students OF
the college are not to be blamed for
this failure because they are trying
to the best of their ability to become
americaniZed. .
ct is understood that, it is absolute
ly useless for any one to contradict
my statement. AS the proof of the
pudding is in the eating. the proof of
my statement is its actual and thor
ough investigation).
characterization Power LACKING
CID That college represents the
full americanization power and capa-
city of the educational system of Ha-
wall because it is the highest educa-
tional institution of the territory
Therefore, if the highest educational
institution of the territory after nearly
ten years of perseverance has failed to.
fully americanize oriental students, it
is clear that the americanization DOW

never be able to fully americanize orr.
