THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLIC
AT STAKE.

The experience Of the past four years
has convinced most Americans that ou1
immigration and naturalization laws are
entirely too liberal, and that if we are tc
preserve the high standards Of American
citizenship we must be more careful IN
the selection of material from which that
citizenship is moulded. The sentiment is
general that immigration if it be not
stopped for some years, should be re-
stricted and carefully selected
With the prevalence of that sentiment
it has been an easy matter during the
past year to organize what is called the
League for Constructive Immigration Leg
islation, and TO secure for it endorsement
and subscriptions from long list-one
thousand, it is said--of representative and
loyal Americans from all walks of life
and entertaining many shades of political
opinion. In that list are found Cover
nors, public officials and politicians, Uni
versity presidents, bank president, prom
inent editors, lawyers and physicians,
National labor leaders and heads Of Cham
bers Of Commerce.
It now develops that the main object
of the promoters Of the enterprise is not
the same as the intent Of this long list Of
endorsers; that the constructive immi-
grafton legislation" suggested is intended
by those promoters simply as means for
opening our gates to Asiatic immigrants
and making them eligible for naturaliza-
ton; and that this purpose was not gen.
orally apparent to the one thousand Ma
tional Committeeman of the League when
their endorsement and their subscriptions
for movement ostensibIy to restrict for
eign immigration in the interests Of Amer
lean citizenship were solicited
The whole story, with an overwhelming
array Of facts and figures, largely from
the promoters themselves, was told in
three articles Awritten by the Publisher
Of The Bee
Under the aGentlemen's Agreement"
whose spirit called for a restriction OF
japanese immigration similar to that en-
forced against the Chinese by law, Japan
is sending US 10000 or 1900 Of her SUP
jects year openly and more across the
border clandestinely. Our Japenese pop
ulation, instead OF decreasing, has multi
piled six-fold since 1900 The Chinese
population has decreased TO between one
half and cne-third Of the original nusa-
Der And the japanese birth rate per
thousand in California communities where
they have concentrated is five times the
white birth rate. and increasing.
Nearly half the population Of Hawaii
and more than half the annual births are
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1920-04-03

The Constructive immigration" plan
and the proposed legislation will increase
the evil and hasten the end. They are
shown to be the work of Sidney Gulick,
who has spent his time in this country,
since his arrival from Japan five years
ago, in the effort to secure adoption of
his new Oriental policy" which would
open our gates to Asiatics as immigrants
and citizens.
The chief value of plan and bill at
this time is to offer proof of The Bees
charge that Japanese propaganda is car
RED on as systematically in this country
now as was German propaganda before
the War; and that the most efficient
propagandists are loyal but misled
American citizens.
The facts presented in The Bees arti-
cles seem to demand at once such pro-
tective measures as can be applied to di
minish the consequences of our blunier
and Japan's bad faith.
The "Gentlemen's Agreement" should
be at once cancelled, and all Japanese inn
migration, including picture brides, for
hidden by law, as is done in Canada and
Australia-such a law as Japan herself
imposes against China and Korea; Jap
anese should be prevented, if possible,
leaving Hawaii for the mainland; and
laws. forbidding ownership of land by
a.ens not eligible to citizenship should be
made effective.
