A new SOLUTION
HAS BEEN OFFERED

A new solution has been suggested
for the Hood River Japanese problem.
A number Of citizens. who declare that
they believe that the problem will ultl
mately thave TO be solved by national
action, have proposed SO called local
gentlemen agreement. Under this
plan the japanese Association of the
Hood River valley, the spokesman for
whose members is Nj. Yasui, will agree
to use their influence in preventing
further inroad Of Japanese TO the valley
and will promise the cessation of pur
chases Of real estate. While the plan
does not suggest itself as practicable
to most of the members of the Anti
Asiatic League. it is being given con-
-ideration by some of them. 1t is ar
eued that the Japanese population as il
row exists here is the source of no
worry, and that agitation has sprung
up TO prevent repetition of the Jap
anese activity in some Of the Califor-
nia agricultural communities.
Mr.. Yasui states that the Japanese
already here are willing to cooperate in
such a movement and to enter into the
agreement suggested
