Pickens a
Noted Orator

Los Angeles, CAL, Nov. 3O.-William
Pickens, the noted Negro scholar and
orator, is addressing large mixed audi
ences in this section Of the country and
incidentally taking note Of the social
and economic problems which are hold
ing the special interest of people all
along the Pacific coast line. He; has
been accorded hearty reception wher-
ever he has appeared and his opinions on
public questions have been eagerly
sought
In recent interview he has this to
say on the Japanese Question as it
appears to him:
HYou must have noticed that when
one is prejudiced against you, your very
virtues become vices in his sight. AS
an outsider I have been interested to
note the accusations which the white
man of the Pacific coast naively makes
against the Japanese
"I have heard them complain, as /
rode with them on the trains, that the
"Japs have all the business in such and
such little coast town, that they
cater in some other places,-that their
restaurants sell more food FOR the same
money than any white restaurant (think
how white restaurant would be praised
if this could be said of them) that they
show disposition to thrive where the
white man fails. - t
,'sJust think of race being accused
of all this crime! More than that. /
saw one great San Francisco daily COM
planning against the japanese high birth
rate and. the child-bearing superiority Of
the Nippon women. 1t was contempt
uously said that one out of every thir-
teen babies born in California last year
was a" Japlet,' which is far above the
proportion of the Japanese population.
1t seems, too, that while less than ten
per cent of California 8 white women
bore children, more than twenty-eight
per cent of the Japanesaa women bore
children
elbow in the world are Japanese men
to blame for thiss Is it not relic of
the savage that causes us to curse in
another race the qualities which we
would praise in our own? 1t reminds
me that in South Carolina for genera
t;ons the Negro has been accused of
wanting to wear, good clothes, to live in
fine houses, to eat the best food, to vote
to hold office, to go to college, to enter
the professions, ito get. more pay for his
work (of course they put it the other
way about; to do less work for his pay)
and in general ''to be like white folks. =
"May Allah ant. odin and the God of
the Christians save all the colored races
from the 9, lrtues' which the medieval
atavists of the white race would lks to
see other races endowed with. - 84
Mr.. F;ckens will be in California for
several weeks and will make a number
of addresses in many of the large cities
il, the central section OF the state.
