THE CALIFORNIA PROBLEM.

When Senator Phelan recently made some rather
startling statements the floor of the United States
senate regarding the yellow peril in California, eastern
newspapers criticized him for exaggeration.
His figures showing the per centage of increase u
the Japanese population in Los Angeles county were in
deed alarming but they semed to be discounted by the
known totals and The small population Of Japs to whites
in that state.
A somewhat different aspect however, is given to
the situation by comments from California newspapers
that are known to be calm and conservative The editor
of the Woodland Mail in characteristic statement rec
ognzed that Senator Phreans presentation may have
seemed overdrawn but thinks he justified in bring

Causes That Have Contributed

First, the greater portion of the man

years been fighting and over consum-
ing the reserve as well as that manu-
/ featured during the progress of the
war of all kinds Of apparel fabrics,
wool, cotton and leather, to the ex-
Itreme that the supply Of almost all
F kinds of textile fabrics at the close
Of the war was exhausted and all Of
the belligerent eOa1iries were almost
denuded; they had felt the high cost
Of clothing for months, the t. s had
only begun to feel it the latter part of
ll9lS.
Furthermore, Tho textile equipment
lof all the belligeyelt countries was
practically all in operation on war fab
rics, and in the L. $. only about 90
per cent of the equipment could be
kept in operation IN account of labor
shortage, and fully two thirds of that
in operation was en- war supplies of
one kind and an other, leaving only a
very small comparative portion for the
supplying Of civilian use The forego-
ing were about the conditions of the
textile supply at the expiration Of the
war. The U. S. having her equipment
all intact every cOGntry turned to her
