DIR AsIATIC IMMIGRANTS

Az ,he recpes, Of the California ori-
antal Exclusion League and other SIM
liar organizations Senator Pheian OF
California has proposed an amendment
10 our constitution which would deny
American citizenship to ch'Idreh VI
Asiatic descent born in this country
Senator Phelan says that soon all I"c
good land in California Will belong 10
thu Japanese and that something must
hs dono TO avert race conflicts and the
deterioration Of the white population. II
Ys questionable whether the judiclar!
committee OF the senat" Will report the
RESOLUTION which was referred 10 H. ana
II Is still more doubtful whether there
will be the necessary majorlti"s IN con-
gress and in the state legislatures 10
pass the amendment.
- The entire problems is a rather delicate
-one and can hardly be solved in the
,.manner proposed by ;hc California SEN
ator without most grarely oncnd'NS
Japan which on account OF having been
only recently recognized as one OF the
great powers. is all the more sensitive
about her equality of rights and would
not meekly submit 20 The affront "a her
citizens. Neither il is TO be supposed
that such a measure would meet with
any more favorable reception by 'hina
where the old policy Of secluSicn IS
waning and tho desire has been mani
tested 20 have voice IN the couGcii OF
the nations: together with Japan. with
which she Is In unison in this matter.
she comprises nearly one-th;rd OF the
total population and constitutes III"
strongest latent power on earth. And
back OF the Hindoos in India stands
Great Britain which would probably
hesitate TO risk the friendship ot
America for the sake OF her Asattc sub
Jects, unless Il should happen 10 better
serve her purpose in world affairs.
BY way Of friendly agreement the
problem could likely be solved much
moro quickly and more easily than by
eoerc!vs measures. This was shown BY
tina fact that recently as result Of
friendly remonstrances by our state de-
partment Japan volunteered TO stop the
aendink Of so-called plctures-brides 70

by our present immigration regulations,
Doubtless an agreement could be ar
RANGED with the government In Toxic
which would admit only Japanese mcr-
chants, students and travellers and
would keep all othsr Japanese away. II
ths matter were only handled in cor
rect and tactful manner: and tho same
applies TO other AsIatic people whose
settlement in this country 10 not look
