Ave-, New York City.
United States Senate, !
January II. 1920.
Mr.. Yasuo Fuwa,
Care the Japanese Times,
35 Sixth Avenue, New York City.
Dear Sir. am in receipt of your
letter of January 15, submitting to me
six questions to which you politely
request an answer.
/. Question. Do you or do you not
satisfy the recent announcement by
Japanese government that the picture
bride be prohibited strictly from Feb
ruary Of this year?
Answer: l am we'll pleased with
the decision of the japanese govern
ment to refuse passports to picture
Brides" but that is not sufficient to
meet the objections Of California.
Other remedies must be found.
2. Question: How far, in your
opinion, Californians will continue
their anti-Japanese movement?
Answer: California desires very
properly to preserve her white popu-
lation, which is being driven off the
soil by the influx of japanese who
have bought or leased land. The law
forbids them to purchase land and
still they are doing it by taking the
land in the name Of their children or
in the names of corporations, both of
which practices are clear evasions 'of
the law California will, believe,
continue to carry on this movement
until the soil is in possession of the
white race.
3. Question: Is Japanese people in
California or elsewhere in United
States destruct American living STAN
dards and their safety than those
bolshevik, communist, or some other
movement?
Answer: There is no comparison
between the japanese and the bolshe-
vik movement. The Japanese dis
possess the American people Of the
land and other means whereby to live,
on account of destructive competi-
tions, while the bolsheviks are cor
rupting their political opinions. The
government has taken action against
the criminal bolsheviks and is de-
porting them from the country. 1t
would be a solution of California S
economic troubles if the japanese
there would return to Japan and con-
centrate in other countries.
A. Question: Do you favor that
Japan to keep Shantung or Siberia or
elsewhere in Asia in order to settle
her immigration problem?
Answer: / am in favor of giving
Japan an outlet in Asia for her sur
Plus population in order to protect
my own country.
5. Question: Will you state me
what would be best policy for Japan
to keep her good relations with
America?
Answer: Japan could best keep her
good international relations with
America by keeping her people out of
America and encouraging those in this
country to go to other lands. AS long
as they are concentrated on the Pa
cific coast, the Japanese will be a
source of irritation. The situation
is acute in California. Washington and
Oregon. Australia has been able to
protect itself. American public opin-
ion has condemned Japan for her
course toward both Korea and China,
and good relations could also be i'm
proved by changing her policies in
these respects.
6. Question:: Do you believe war
between Japan and America? If is it
possible, will you state your reason
Answer: America will never go to
war with Japan or any other country
unless under the greatest provocation
and l believe that no such provoca-
tion has arisen. All warfare is mis-.
!. understanding, and trust your ques.
tions and my answers will serve .
put themselves in our place, they
would understand the situation. II
Americans spread over Japan, and
with improved and patented machin-
cry cultivated the soil, and acquired
it in large tracts, displacing the native
population, what would Japan do
She would be obliged to stop it tc
preserve her people. Japanese trav.
elers. students, scholars and diplomats
will ALWAYS be welcome in America
but not the inexhaustible supply OF
laborers who can not assimilate with
the white race and who destroy the
character Of the population. Our gov
ernment is republic and has to pre-
serve the standard of it's population in
order to exist.
Very truly, yours,
JAMES ID. PHELAN.
