SACRAMENTO, Calf. June 10
Alarmed at the. remarkable progress
being made in securing signatures to
the Anti Oriental land initiative petit
tions and the almost universal senti-
ment for the enactment of such a
measure, the Japanese are preparing
to take steps to defeat the proposed
measure at the November election.
According to report that has come
to the California Oriental Exclusion
League, the Japanese associations are
collecting large fund among their
cOuntrymen with which to print and
distribute propaganda to offset the
sentiment against their continued en-
croachments on the agricultural lands
of the state.
Some time ago editorials were
printed in the leading japanese papers
of the state urging the Nipponese to
raise fund of 100000 for use in
influencing the next legisl a ure
against passing anti-Japanese legis-
lation. Apparently it now is their
plan to use this money to fight the in
itiative measure.
The league has received a letter
from the Pasadena Horticultural So
ciety of Pasadena heartily endorsing
the leagues efforts in striving to
check the Japanese menace. The
letter states;
1--WE, as body, who follow garden
ing as a living, were of the first to
feel the effects of their (the Japan
ese) coming, and we readily saw and
foretold that eventually they would in
due course of time have control of
this line Of work, which they have.
1--WE see them now in control of q
great deal of the best farming land in
our state, and one can readily see
that in the course of time, unless
stopped, they will have possession OF
all the farming land in California.
in spite of laws made to prevent
them owning land in our country
they manage to do so by the simple
procedure of putting the title in thu
names of their children"
