PROVED THAT RACES
CANNOT MI<GIE

The crux Of the entire problem
Hes In the biological fact that the
Japanese and the American races
cannot mingle. Herbert Spencer
stated the case Dramatically in a
letter 70 Baron Kaneko Kentare.
published in the London Times OF
January 10, 1904. He said: There is
abundant proof. alike furnished by
the interrnarriages OF human races
and by the interviewing Of animals.
that when the varieties mingled d.
verge beyond certain slight degree,
the result IL inevitably a bad one in
the long run. This same thing
will happen II there should be a con
adorable mixture Of European or
American races with the Japanese
Actually. there Is no danger Of
any such comingling. The japanese
are building up their strength In
America purely within the boundaries
Of their own race. They remain
.apart from US in everything save
superficial customs and manners"
From a mass OF documentary evil
dence Miller Freeman gave me an
insight into the workings OF the

been no construed as TO admit a con
slant flow OF Japanese men and
women into American ports in add.
