VETERANS FOUND JOBS
HELD BN JAPANESE

Whereas. Rev. Matthews asks
why be prc1udicod against the Japa-
nesc because they are industrious.
we reply because when we returned
from tho service OF our country we
found the jobs to which we were en-
titled held by Japanese.
Whereas. Rev. Matthews asks
why create prejudice because some
American citizen sold his property to
some syndicate in which Japanese
money was deposited. we reply that
when we went away to war the en-
croachmcnts OF the Japanese in the
holding Of property contrary TO the
laws OF this state. were already a
matter OF serious concern. but that
on our return we found the Japa.
nesc had taken advantage of alb.
normal war conditions to acquire
property and invest in all lines OF
business TO a degree which is nothing
short OF appalling.
Whereas we freely offered our
lives In response to the call of our
country. be II resolved that we did
not take ur arms against the aRgres-
sion of a white race only to return
home and complacently see our coun.
try surrendered to brown race, but
pledge ourselves now to resist such
surrender by every means in our
power"
