above statement IS aeen in what the
Americans have done in the United
States itself and outside Of it, even in
Japan itself, since the days Of the
California school question. They
have done just two things: They have
ostracized and blocked tho Japanese
at every point; they have prosecuted
them.
'Let US review a few things which
the American has done against the
Japanese in the United States itself:
american treatment Of the Japanese
has been discriminatory first and last.
When the Japanese protested and
when their demands were shown to be
falr and proper the Americans held on
to their hostile course without show
ing the slightest sign of modifying
their attitude.
Americans do not accord the Japa-
nese the same treatment accorded to
the other white foreigners. They do
not give the Japanese immigrants
the rights which are accorded to the
white immigrants. Americans have
promised In solemn treaty to treat
the Japanese as we'll as any other
stranger from any other country what
ever. But they do not fulfil their
treaty obligations. Nor Is that all
The Americans in California have de-
prlved our people Of the right they
Rad enjoyed in the past. Through this
means the Americans are ATTAINING
their desired object of driving tho
Japanese out by making the condi
tlons unbearable for our people. In
stances OF this tactic are cropping out
ell over the state, year after year.
THE American Congress Is about To
consider new and more rigorous and
torbidding immigration measure. It
Is aimed against the Japanese; It's end
IS to drive the japanese root md

posed Japanese ownership of land: not
only that, but also it has IMPOSED
limitations and restrictions upon the
Japanese there, which are equivalents
to taking away from them the right
OF leasing land. It's attempts to pro-

the papers over there are saying
about America now. 1t stands
rather as a cross,-section of an cpl
demic Of this sort, offered as such
for what it is worth.
The Osaka "Mai-Nichi," pub
lished in the city Of Osaka-which is
at once the Chicago and Manchester
of Japan-enjoys a much greater
circulation than any other news
paper in Japan, even than any
paper in the United States, for it
claims the daily circulation of about
100000 copies. At present it is ad-
mittedly the most popular and one
Of the most representative news
papers in Japan and is supposed to
echo the sentiment Of a great many
Japanese in Central Japan. In the
leading editorial Of over two and a
half columns in length, for April II,
it says:
"Since the rise Of the school children
question in California the lack of
smoothness in the American-Japanese
relations has been more and moro en-
phasized with the passing Of years.
This Is weighty matter which must

There are many and various reasons
to account for it, but the following are
among the chief causes Of the trouble:

"The school question in Hawaii IS
another manifestation of the selfsame
spirit If the Japanese are permitted
TO apply the self-determinaton prin-
ciple of President Wilson to as bold
an extent as the Italians are doing in
their claim on Fiume; If America is
ready to be consistent with herself to
the extent of applying the same spirit
and tactics which have been used in
behalf Of the establishment of the
Irish Republic, 1t may very readily be
argued that Japan should agitate the
work for the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands to herself and their
divorce from the United States, because
there is not the slightest shadow of
doubt that there are more JAPANESE in
the islands than any other race-and
like the Italian population of Fiume
they would prefer being under the ad-
mlnlstratlon OF their own mother coun-
try rather than under tho United
States. And even if this cannot he
admitted 1t would seem that they should
be allowed an independent existence
politically.

were committed outside of the United
States:

the author reflects:
