Louisville, KY. July 29.-Congressman
King Swope of Kentucky. a member
of the house committee investigating
Japanese immigration to Pacific coast
states, declared in a statement here to-
day that this country has reached a
point where we should not permit any
unassimilable race to fill up our Paci-
flc state or any other states" He said
the privilege of entry of any and all
immigrants should be predicated upon
their ability and desire to become real,
loyal, patriotic Americans"
"It is rather difficult for the people
of the east and the south to fully ap-
preciate the Japanese immigration
question and its effect upon the Paci-
fic coast" said Mr.. wope. when We
reaize that about 100000 of the ap-
proximateIy 10000 japanese In this
country live in California, we can
readily see why the Californians view
with great alarm a continued japanese
immigration. Washington. Oregon ana
CaClifornia in particular seem to rep
resent an earthly paradise to the Jap
anese because of their favorble eli
mate and fertile soil. As a result,
about four-fifths of the total japanese
population in the United States live in

is operating with number of vacant

that they have not been shown suffi-
cient consideration, ]. B. Geisy. acting

AS the situation is at present. Mr.,

necessity of going long way to attend

as Junior high school rooms, and asked
that the school board act upon the
matter.

tendent was requested to make an esti-
mate of the cost of such an undertak-
ing but, owing to the depleted state

Democratic
War Chest /
Is Opened

Washington. July 2s.-The demo.
cratic party's campaign war chest is
open to contributions Of any amount,
George White chairman of the nation
al committee. announced here today.
Party leaders, Mr.. White said, will
examine the source rather than the
amounts Of all contributions.
Peace, progress. prosperity will
be three word slogan Of the demo-
cratic campaigners. Mr.. White said.
Adding that with this slogan the party
should be "Cox-sure" of victory.
The new national chairman referred
to Illinois, Indiana and Ohio as '.the
battle-ground" Of the campaign. but he
indicated that as the campaign plans
developed, Governor Cox would carry
the fight direct to the people and
would visit a majority Of the state.
Discussing campaign contributions
Mr.. White said the restrictions which
had been proposed as to the size of the
gifts were SO easily circumventec as to
make them useless and that the ma
tional committee therefore would con
tent itself with a scrutiny of all con-
tributions in order that no obligations
on the candidate would be entaiIed by
the acceptance of campaign funds.
Invite Publicity.
Democratic leaders. Mr.. White said,
are seeking to have the senate com
mittee investigating campaign ex-
penses, continue it's operations. He
added that it was particularly desired
to bring to light the contributions to
republican state committees, but that
thus far way to accomplish this a. :
not been found.
Before leaving Washington the nh-
tional chairman expected to confer
with Attorney General Palmer. and
probably will seek his aid in the
speaking campaign.
Direction of the national campaign
will center in, New York. Mr.. White
will go to the headquarters there at
the end of this week and will arrange
Immediately to put the campaign ma
chinery into operation.

IN is apparently felt here that any

/ aiLe,t that Japan, after mature delib-

misunderstanding of Japan's position.
~ Crisis Is Forseen.
Annaarances here indicate that ia
nan Is passing through another "nerv-
aus crisis" concerning her relations
with the United States. Numerous in
ternellations have been made IN the
AL about the American attitude, and
while the newspapers are counselline
their readers to keep cool, it Is appar-
snt that a certain amount of appre-
bansion exists concerning the result or
tbe congressional inquiry in California.
iThe Japanese, however, seem con-
vinced that it is being conducted with
The utmost fairness and attention Is
being called to statements that num-
her Of Americans have come forward
fsponstaneously to testify In favor OF
the Japanese.
! Among the incidents which have
tended to fan anti American feeling
was the publication here of the re-
ports that the burning of japanese
stores in Marysville, Cal, was possibly
the act of anti-Japanese elements. Ar
ticles also have been printed declar-
ing that Americans were engaged in
attempts to steal Japanese maps, anf.
these have resulted in Increased sur
yeance of American tourists.
American Stores Burned.
with regard to the Marysville affair.
the foreign office today gave out a
cable message from Consul General
Ohta in San Francisco stating that the
fire started July 21 in an automobile
garage owned by an American and
that three or four Japanese houses or
stores were burned. The counsel gem
eral called attention to reports that
were current, CHASING the case as un-
cendiarism due to under-selling of
white merchants by Japanese nnsJ
chants in Marysvlle and consequent
: resentment on the part of the former,
but he added that the police denied
that this was the fact. The counsel
general concluded by declaring:
TT Is unbelievable that the case was
zone Of incendiarism connected with
anti-Japanese agitators."
~ To the consul generals message the
foreign office in its statement adds a
denial that any Of it's officials had
made statements to the Japanese press
that they thought the fire the work
