SAYS JAPS THREATEN WHITE: POPULATION 0N THE: WEST COAST
Sacramento Editor Declares the Birth Rate is
 Alarming
STANnARD OF LIVING
 IS EXTREMELY LOW
Japanese Have Neither Power. Nor Desire, Nor Ability 10 Become Americans, Declares [. $.
 Mct iatchy

Cleveland, Ohio, April E. The Japanese birth rate in Califor!i% i. SC high and their standard of lving so low, that any immigration policy other than exclusion will result in the ultimate destruction of the American population in the west, If not in the whole United States, V. s. McClatchy, publisher of the Saera- mento Bee asserted today in 2 lunch con address before the City club
 "The Japanese have neither the ability, the desire, nor the power under their government to become citizens of this country Mr. McClatchy said. "They are unas- simulated, They do not care for citi- zenship. Their government expe it's Japanese in this country to remain loyal to the country of their fathers, and they are loyal to Japan"
 The chief objection to the Japan ese is not racial antipathy, but the knowledge that their economic ad- vantages make it hopeless for the white race to compete with them MT. McClatchy explained.
 "The Japanese question is really an economic one. It ,S sim ply whether or not this nat1on can admit to the country a people who can drive the Americans out"
 Drive Americans Ont
 The Japanese work longer hours for smaller pay than Americans; their women toll in the fields; they con centrate in close communities they have wonderful business cooperation and they control the produce trade in many sections, he said, Because of these factors. they gradually drive Americans out of every business they enter.
 MT. McClatchy said the Japanese practically control the imperial val icy in Southern California;; have S5 per cent of the Rockyford melon business of Colorado, hold half of the Hood River. Oregon, apple dis trict and control the Southern Cali fornia fisheries.
 The speaker reiterated number of figures from the California bur eau of vital statistics tending to show that the Japanese increase about four times as rapidly as Ameri- cans in California, and that while the American birth rate is decreasing the Japanese birth rate is rising.

SAYS GERMANS ARE VIOLATING TREATY IN RUHR DISTRICT 
 Gross Bad Faith is Charged
 by Premier Mile PREMIER CONFERS
 WITH MARSHAL FOCH Permission for the Entry of Teuton Troops is Made After Entry
 Had Been Effect

Paris, April 3.-Aftnn warninf ] the German charge d'affairs in :
 note that the French government
 would admit of no derogation o1 the treaty of Versailles, Premie,
 Millerand conferred with Marsha
 Foch this evening. Marshal Focf i then had a conference with the min. l ister of war, Andre Lefevre, who lat CT was received by the premier. In statement to a Havas repre- 1 sentative this evening Premier Mil. lerand said:
 "We are confronted with a system atic violation of Article 43 of the treaty.
 Bad faith in the explanations of
 fered by the German government for it's alleged mistake is evidenced by the rapidity of the advance of the troops, despite our interdction. The necessity of repressing the troubles in the Ruhr district does not justify the German initiative. The acts of disorder. in fact, were localized; already the conflict is ap- preaching extinction by peaceful means.
 "Intervention by the regular for ces may lead to the worst conse- quences."
 Paris, April 3.--Premier Millerand this evening sent note to the Ger man charge d'affairs, Dr. Von Mayer, recalling that he had written him asking him to insist that his gov ernment retire the troops which re- gently entered the Ruhr basin. The note warned Dr. Won Mayer that the French government was unable to admit any derogation of the treaty of Versailles.
 To-day at 5:A5 D. m. Dr.. Goep- pert (head of the German peace com mission) informed the president of the peace conference that troops ex- ceeding the number allowed by the decision of August 9, 1919, had en- tered the Ruhr basin and asked me to give formal permission for their entry after. the entry had been af- fected," M. Millerand said.
 q learn that Won Haniel (Dr. Von Haimhausen. undersecretary of the German foreign office) confirms that the German government has given entire liberty of action to Serv- ring (Prussian minister of the in- terior) for the employment of the troops concentrated for operations in the Ruhr basin and that severing assumes responsibility for their ac- tions ip this zone learn further that the Reichswehr's attack com menced in the nevtral zone on April 2 and that the front troops have, al- ready reached north of Dartmund and Duisbur.
 t"By this offensive the German infriges article A of the treaty."
 Premier Millerand cites the text of the article to the effect that any will be considered a 1 hostile act against the signatories of the treaty and adds:
 q will inform you later what de- cision the government of the re- public takes"

ls CALLED 0Nl.y SOL LUTON OF
 TURKISH PROBLEM ].
Harbord, Fails to Recommend United States Assume
 Charge

Washington, April 3.-While the American mission under Major Gen. eral Harboard which investigated conditions in the near east last wear did not recommend that the Uni ted States accept a mandate over the former Ottoman empire. Gen eral Harboard in his report said some power should accept man date as the only solution of the Turkish problem.
 Constantinople. he said, should be included in the mandatory terri tory. but he disapproved several mandatories for different portions of Turkey.
 The much-discussed report of the mission was transmitted to the sen- ate today by President Wilson in re- sponse to second resolution of re- quest adopted several weeks ago aft CT the senate had failed to hear from the white house concerning it's first resolution adopted in November.
 While estimates of the number of from 25,OO0 to 100000, General Har- bord declared that in his judgment 5000 would be needed for the first year. HE COSt Ut tue TldIudJe was estimated at S275,OO0,000 for the first year. The cost of the man. date was estimated at $275,OO0 900 for the first year. including $88,500,- 900 for the army and navy, and at $756 100000 for the first five years.
 Thirteen arguments in favor of the United States accepting mandatory and 13 against acceptance were con- tained in the report. The principal arguments in favor were that the United States as "one of the chief contributors in the formation of the league of nations. was morally bound to accept" that it's mandatory would insure peace at the worlds cross ways: that the building of railroads would offer opportunities for Amer ican capital and that there would be great trade advantages; that inter- vention would definitely stop fur ther massacres of Armenians and other Christians and give justice to the Turks, Serbs, Greeks and other peoples and that unless the United States assumes responsible in this region, international jealousies probably would result in the con tinuance "of the unspeakable mis- rule of the Turks"
 Made Last October.
 The principal arguments against an American mandate were that the United States had prior and nearer obligations; that there was every likelihood that ambitious nations would continue to maneuver to con trol thise region; that mandate
