JAPANESE WIN
CALIFORNIA
Fears White Race viii Be Driven Out
and Declares "the Fight is on.'
Especial to The Whip

Washington, July 6.-Senator James
d. Phelan of California is agitated over
the increase in the birth rate of Japan
ese in California. He says that if the
japanese women continue to add to the
population of his State at the present
rate the white race viii soon be over
whelmed.
"I am surprised and alarmed to read
the official statement" said Mr.. Phe-
Ian, "that one.third of our births
outside of incorporated cities and
towns in Los Angeles County were Jap
anese. That means that one-third of
the rural population are substantially
Japanese and, as the rural population
is the backbone of every country, the
gravity of the situation must appeal TO
all thinking men and women.
"The State Board OF Health reports
that the Japanese births in the last
ten years have increased 5000 per cent,
and the white births have decreased
about per cent. do not think we re-
quire any further confirmation of the
silent invasion of California, directed
from Japan, be '"pse Japan controls her
nationals where .r they go. California
is now just as Hawaii has been for some
time past, tributary colony to Japan.
"The rats are in the granary, they
have got IN under the door and they
are breeding with alarming rapidity.
We must get rid Of them OF lose the
granary.
"What I mean by saying the rats
have got under the door is this: The
door is presumably closed against them.
The gentlemen agreement stipulated
that no laborers would be given pass
ports from Japan, but women are given
passports on the theory that they are the
wives of the men who are already here.
They, of course, cannot be bonafde
wives of the men whom they have never
seen, as we understand marriage.
"These women work in the fields as
laboreFs and so circumvent the agree
ment, and then they give birth to chill
dren and thus defeat the purpose of the
agreement by increasing the horde of
-assimilable aliens who are crowd
ing the white men and women off the
land. If this is not checked now, it
means the end of the white race in
California, the subversion of Ameri-
can institutions and the end of our
Western civilization. The fight is oE.

that they fear no trouble. They have,

BOARD

Knoxville, Tenn.-White man in the
South has begun to realize after CROP
ing for two hundred fifty years in the
darkness OF prejudice and conceit are
about to wake up and walk into the
light in clarified reason. For the first
time in history they have recognized the
Negro as being an economical factor
in the community. At meeting held
in Knoxville, Tenn, by the colored
board of trade, civic and commercial
organization whose object is to control
larger amount of patronage from col
cred people and at the same time better
the general civic conditions, was visited
by committee of white men from the
board of commerce and asked to work
in conjunction with them, because they
realize that the interest and welfare of
one was co-linked with the interest and
the welfare of the other.
Professor Harry Clark (white) is
chairman of the committee and declares
that he will assist in every way possible
to better cooperation between the col
ornd and white organization. Professor
Clark says this plan of cooperation has
been in the minds of the white people
for some time, only to be ripened by
the persistency and competency of the
colored men in their Organization.

 There are no two sides to this question. Either one is American or not. There are and can be no qualifying phrases. This is one question that knows no straddIing the fence.
 There is a sharp cleavage between the two classes. The seeker after rev4lution has recognized it for years. It is time for Americans to see it. The reds have had too much Icnicncy, too much forbearancc has been practiced by individuals and by the government.
 That which applies to the rest of the country is equally true at home. We do not know that there are any radicals in Fair banks. But we have been told that there are a few who do mouth the shibboIcths of the reds and who proclaim to their inti- mates the coming of the day of the pro lctarian dictatorship.

HOW SOLDIERS VIEW IT

The action of the Oltonvillc, MInn. citizens in refusing to allow former Minnesota congressman to attack or speak against the league of nations k significant in that those persons who objected to the speech and who led the speaker off the stage were men who had some experience in fighting on the western front and who know what it is that the league is designed to destroy because they have been thru the real thing Those boys crossed the At lantic and fought in order that the world might be freed from future wars as much as possible.
 When they return home they find that their sacrifices are likely to be nullified by those who stayed at home. No wonder they sent Mr. Lundcen away from town. It Is a wonder they didn't use even more violent means of getting rid of him.
 This is one of the first public indica- tions made by any soldier organization of how the boys themselves viewed the league of nations The question has been kept away from them in all official gatherings and leaders of the American Legion have declined to make any comments on it. Per haps they considered it a measure of safety for the organization not to do so. Ncces sarilv there is bound to be a division Of opinion in the legion itself over the subject and should it once crop up in official shape it might cause a disruption of the organiza- ton. But it seems a fact that the action of the OrtonvilIc post of the legion is repre- sentative of the attitude of possibly 70 pc. cent of the returned soldiers. And in thi lies the significance of the affair.

SCOTCHING THE SNAKE

That there is need for legislation such as is provided in the anti-radical bill intro duced in the senate Monday by Senator Poindexter is generally admitted on all sides Heretofore the persons who have been urging forciblc overthrow of the gov ernment have been able to do so without fear of great punishment, most of them get ting off with none at all and only few get ting limited jail sentences.
 There has, of course, been a justifica- tion of the non-eXistence for this kind of legislation. Public opinion until lately never would have upheld it. The doctrine of free speech" was fetish against all evils; if few ''crazy foreigners" under took to preach revolution against the gov ernment they were ridiculed by the ma iority of people and allowed to go on their way preaching the gospel of disloyalty to the republic. Few of us but who have heard in the years prior to the war speak CTS on the open streets haranguing small gatherings on the beginnings of bOlshevism. It is safe to say that few of us recognized the danger to our country that the doc trines set forth by those speakers contain ed
 The war prot us up short. We stopped and thot because we had it to do. And we discovered at last the enemy within our gates We find that for years we have al lowed to foster here an organization which seeks but to destroy the government under which it found chance for safety and pros perity. By substituting the bomb for the ballot box it would replace the American republic with a proetariat dictatorship. It would impose the rule of the minority in stead of that of the majority.
