Anti-Japanese
Interests See
Ground for Alarm
Rapid Increase in Orientals on
Coast Pointed to By Fac
tions Opposed to the
Movement.
By R. W. RYDER.
Chicago Tribune -Omahs Bee Leased VIII


Copyright 1920.
San Francisco, Oct. 3l.-The Jap
anese population of California in
1910, according to the census of that
year, was 41,356; today it is esti-
mated to be 87,27o.
The Japanese population has,
therefore, been doubled in 10 years,
and in this increase the anti -Japa-
nese propagandists believe they find
ground for great alarm.
But what issthe explanation Of the
increase? 1t is that most Of the
population gain has been due to
Japanese children born here, the
births for the 10-year period in
question having been 28,037.
Add to this figure the 1900 or
10000 wives, including 5.749 pic
ture brides" who have Joined their
husbands, and the 1000 or 5000
Japanese children who were tenn
pcrarily in Japan, but have return
ed to America, we find that the
net increase in population through
new male immigration amounted to
only approximately 1000 which.
when scattered over a period of 10
years, is really negligible.
With picture bride" inlmigra-
tion stopped and the restrictive pol
icy Of the gentlcman's agreement
likely to be made more rigid through
the diplomatic negotiations already
in progress, America is in no danger
of Japanese inundation.
California's land area is about
90, 600, 900 acres. OF this. 28,000,0W
acres are farmland. Out of this
huge total, the Japanese, according
to the report of the state board OF
control, own individually and
through American Japanese corpo-
rations, only 74,76o acres, and lease
or operate on shares and labor con-
tracts, 383,24 acres.
"But," say the nti-Japanese lead
ers, s"the Japanese pick out the rich
est land to operate" True, in some
instances but why? Simply be-
cause, being denied the right to own
and only allowed to lease for three
years, they would be foolish to seek
poor land.

il easy to start Ford or any other
car in the coolest weather without
previously warming the motor.
With it you can use the very cheap
est grade of gasoline or half gaso-
line and half kerosens and still get
more power and more mileage than
than yon now get from the highest
