for some time. Even with congress de-
signaling a definite agency tOs the
work and clearly defining how much al
eOhOl makes liquor Intoxicating, the
task seems stupendOus.
The work Of government agents
means, if bone dry prohibition Is to be
strictly enforced, the elimination Of &
per capita consumption of 1874 gallons a
year from the American people. Lat
est figures show the eOnsumptica "a
malt liquors in the United States Us g.
500, ,457 900 gallOus; wines, 52,4lS,OOO
gallons and alcohol, 46,397,DO0 gallons.
These figures probably have been re-
dueed during the last year because Of
the rapid advance Of prohibition.
Achievement Of national prohibition
has been one of the most spect- teular,
as well as one of the longest reform
movements, ia American histoxy. Pro-
hibitiOn gained little ground a-ztil the
present movement started about fifteen
years ago. Then there were only three
dry states: Maine, Kansas and North
Dakota, although many counties in the
south had voted local option.
Maine First Dry State.
Maine was the first state TO adopt
prohibition, restriction being placed on
the sale Of liquor there in ls4G. Real
prohibition was enacted in 1854 there,
but was repealed in 1856. Then again
in 1858 it was re-enacted by . 70 l
vote.
Kansas was the second state to fall
into the dry column, the vote being
taken in 1881. The law, howeyei, was
laxly enforced until about fifteen years
ago.
This lax enforcement started Carrie
Nation, .Roted prohibition advocate, on
her famous saloon smashing career.
Armed with an axe, she demolished the
fixtures of several Kansas sGlOons run
ming wide open in violation of the state
law Her success at breaking up Ran-
sas saloons, with an extensive propa gan.
ia campaign, caused her to continue her
bar smashing in other states.
North Dakota followed Kansas, adopt
ing prohibition in 1889, and was tnr
first state to call special Session Of
the legislature for the ratification of
the federal amendment.

cqualiiy.what would it mean 10 the
United States and the world?
What would be the practical results
OF the principle Japan has been seeking
10 establish at the peace table. and will
continue TO seek before the league Of
nationsg
California, with a Japanese popula-
ton Of 100000. supplies an array OF
facts for the answer.
This state has experienced and stud
led those nter-racial contacts which
the white races everywhere would feel
under "raee equality" 10 has been The
foundations for what she hoped TO
achieve at Paris.
California as a whole, while vigor-
ously combating their cncroachmont
neither hates nor fears the japanese.
But she Is uneasy. The situation on
which she bases her attitude is this:
FIRST-"Racc Equality docs not
mean the alarmist sort OF thing.
The japanese do not drill in secret,
smuggle rifles, hide wireless bases. Even
the widest iingo politicians and news
papers have never unearthed single
fact OF this sort.
SECOND Equality does not
threaten 20 create a new hybrid type
California; law forbidding intermar-
siage between japanese and Americans
ioes not even require enforcing. IL is
not as yet result Of many years Of
close contact between the races.
THIRD-"Race Equality" might well
mean large Japanese districts in our
town and cities.
Every considerable town in California
has solid blocks Of Japanese renters.
And where the japanese moves In. the
white man moves out Explain IL as
you will, the white mans race preiu-
lice operates TO his own disadvantage.
rne American will tolerate any Euro
pean race as a near neighb0r, but not
an Oriental race whether Japanese,
Chinese or Hindu. He quietly surrenders

tho Oriental expands.
FOURTH--"Race Equality" would GER
tainly mean much ownership and con-
troll OF farming lands hy The japanese.
Fifty thousand japanese farmers and
farm laborers control i0OOOO acres OF
California lands Much Of this whites
would not touoh--riyer Islands that
used TO be flooded annually; alkail,

ever. is the richest land in the state.
Despite a rigid law forbidding owner
ship and limiting leasing TO three year
terms. The japanese get the land, band
ing together in districts
FIFTH-"Race Equality means added
production for any land the japanese
invade.
They are intensive farmers. In 1918
they produced potstoes, vegetables
rice, berries and grapes worth $4,000
900. II they left California overnight
there wiuld b. a vegetable famine.
They control these products-indeed,
George Shima, the potato king has
practically a monopoly He owns a
fleet Of steamers and fair sized em-
pire Of farms.
SIXTlI-"Racc Equality" despite in
creased production. means high prices.
The Japanese laborer and capitalist
stick together. II The American does
not offer enough, the workers strike.
japanese have often undertaken a fruit
picking job for an agreed price, half
completed the work. then called a
strike and boosted the price. There be-
ing no other available labor, the Japan
ese always wins.
SEVENTH-"Race Equality does not
mean keen mercantile competition.
The japanese does not invade the
business in which the American Is al
ready strong-he picks out the badly
covered spot. and covers IL, and gets
his price. For instance, he monopollzes
The Nacuum-cleaner and domcslic-ser-

There is no particular hatred; and
the japanese is very rarely criminal.
In the colleges, japanese students keep
