High Birth Rate of Japanese in United States Is Menace to White Race, Says
 Editor; Proposed Plan Means Suicide

CLEVELAND, April 3.-The Japan ese birth rate in California is so high and their standard of living so low that any immigration policy other than exclusion will result in the ultimate destruction of the American popula- tion in the west, if not in the whole United States. V. S. McClathy, publish CT of the Sacramento Bee, asserted to- day in a luncheon address before the City Club.
 "The Japanese have neither the ability nor the power under their gov ernment to become citizens of this country" Mir McClathy said.
 "They are unassimilable. They do not care for citizenship. Their gov ernment expects Japanese in this country to remain loyal 70 the country of their fathers, and they are loyal to Japan"
 The chief objection D the Japanese is not racial antipathy. but the knowl' edge that their economic advantages make it hopeless for the white race 10 compete with them. Mr McClathy es' plained.

TURKEY MANDATE i. MEANS SENDING 25O,0OO MEN OVERSEAS Committee Estimates Cost Would Be $756, 100000
 For Five Years WIISON TURNS IN
 REPORT TO SENATE Says Acceptance Would Give U. s. Chance for a Great
 Humanitarian Work
VII SON TURNS IN
 REPORT TO SENATE

WASHINGTON, April 3.-While the ,eral Harbord which investigated conditions in the Near East, last year did not recommend that the United States accept mandate over the for mer Ottoman empire, General liar bord in his report said some power should accept mandate as the only solution of the Turkish problem.
 ConstantiDople. he said, should be included in the mandatory territory, but he disapproved several mandato- ries for different portions of Turkey.
 Finally Grants Request
 The much discussed report of the mission was transmitted to the sen ate today by President Wilson in re- sponse to a second resolution of re quest adopted several weeks ago af ter the senate had failed to hear from the White House concerning it's first resolution adopted in November.
 While estimates of the number of troops required for a mandate vary from 25O.OOO to 100000, General Har- bord declared that in his judgment, 59,000 would be needed for the first year.
 The cost of the mandate was esti- mated at s275,OOO.OO0 for the first year, including $6S, 100000 for the ar my and navy, and $756, 100000 for the first five years.
 The principal arguments advanced in favor of the United States accept ing mandate were that the influence of the United States would tend to avert wars. that the inhabitants want ed American protection, and that this would igve the United Staes an oppor- tunity to do great Humanitarian work.

Is Economic Question

"The Japanese question is really an economic one--it is simply whether or not this nation can admit to the coun- try a people who can drive the Ameri- cans out.
 "The Japanese work longer hours for smaller wages than Americans; their women toll in the fields; they concentrate in close communities; they have wonderful business coopera- tion and they control the produce trade in many sections" he said, "Because of.3hese factoFs they gradually drive AHiericans out!yof every business they enter."
