LEAGUE AN AID
TO U. S. GROWTH
Senator Robinson Say:
Covenant Makes Sure
Gains by Army.

American liberty and American citi-
zenship would be unhampered by the
league Of nations, declared Senator
Joseph T. Robinson yesterday in an
address at the First Baptist Church.
Attacking opponents of the league,
he declared it would be shameful if
craftsmanship failed in its duty to up
hold the league after the sacrifices
made by the soldiers.
What will have been gained" he
asked. eff the allies go their way with
no plan for permanent peace? Never
again, II the league of nations is car
ried through, will Germany be able to
threaten the peace of the world. The
article providing for territorial integ-
rity is the Monroe doctrine applied to
the whole world. The United States
has also disavowed any purpose of
conquest. Is it, therefore, any limita-
ton of American citizenship for this
country to agree not to seek foreign
territory and to have the same apply
to other nations?''
Senator Robinson declared that the
league Of nations provided a contract
by which the nations agreed to sub
init all justiciable questions to courts
of arbitration. whereas the Knox plan
offered the possibility of danger to
American liberties.
In introducing the speaker. the Rev.
DR.. Henry Allen Tupper. pastor of the
church, referred to the league docu-
ment as the most monumental pro-
duction ever laid by man before his
fellow men"

JAPS COMPARED

Creeping in Under Door
And Threaten CALIFORNIA;
Life, Says Senator.
BIRTH RATE ALARMING
Picture Brides Till Fields
And Help Make Rural
Districts Alien.

More than one third the births out
side the Incorporated cities and towns
Of Los Angeles county. California, are
japanese
This fact, combined with others
which show the influx of Japanese
into California, led Senator James d.
Phelan of that State yesterday to de-
clare that California is now Just SIS
Hawaii has been for some time past
tributary colony to Japan. He is
sued a statement which calls upon
every thinking man and woman in
the country to consider the invasion
and to act. He said:
'I was surprised and alarmed to
read the official statement that one
third of the births outside of incor-
porated cities and towns IN Los
Angeles county, California, were
Japanese. That means that one-third
Of the rural population are substan-
tally Japanese. and as the rural pop
ulation is the backbone Of every coun-
try the gravity of the situation must
appeal TO all thinking men and
women.
Birth Increase 5000 Per Cent.
THE State Board of Health reports
that the japanese births in the last
ten years have increased 1000 per cent
and the white births have decreased
about 9 per cent.
Il do not think we require snv fur
ther confirmation Of the silent in
vasion Of California directed from
Japan, because Japan controls her
nationals wherever they go. Califor-
MIA is now just as Hawaii has been
for some time pasta tributary
colony to japan.
The rats are in the granary. They
have gotten in I.dei. the door, srl
they are breeding with alarming
rapidity. We must get rid of them
or lose the granary. What 1 mean BY
saying the rats have gotten under the
door is this-the. door is presumably
! closed against them. The gentle.
mans agreement stipulated that nc
| laborers would be given passports
from Japan, but women are given
passports on the theory that they are
the wives of the men who are already
here.
Not Bona Eide wives.
I They. of course. cannot be bona
| fide wives of the men whom they
have never seen as we understand
marriage. These women work in the
fields as laborers. and so circumvent
the agreement And then they give
birth to children and thus defeat the
purpose OF the agreement by increas-
ing the horde of non-assimllable
aliens who are crowding 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
submersion of American institutions,
and the end of our Western civiliza-
ton. The fight is on! On what side
do you stand?''
