Further Delay
Is treason!
Pass the householder
Alien Land Bill Now!

THE SPECTACLE of the house Of representatives
at Olympia hesitating, hating, hemmlng ana
having over the necessary passage OF the Jones'
Beeler alien land bill must fill thinking white men
with dsmay.
Things have come to a pretty pass, indeed when
the Legislative body of free American state must
wait for further word from Tokyos friends before
acting on measure that merely strengthens pro-
vision already in our state constitution forbdding
aliens from owning Washington land.
There is NO REASON WHATEVER why the
Jones' Beeer bill should not be passed NOW. Every
additional days delay makes Japanese penetration
days delay weakens the American government in
dealing with the probem-for it is important above
all things that the West present united front II
lit expects the nation whole to realize the Japan
Iese menace and to act toward preventing its growth
NEITHER TIMIDTTY nor sentimentalty should
~ prevent the legislators from doing their full
duty-and nothing else CAN prevent them unless
we to believe the ugly stories Of corruption, which
we dislike to credit
Timidty and sentimentality and FOLLY
these the influences to which our legislature has
listened
The FEAR Of handful of well-meaning men who
have been scared by the typical Japanese bluff of TAX
ing away Japanese lines from Washington state ports
If the alien land law is passed.
The FOLLY Of similar group who think that Jap
anese money sent to support their churches means
conversion of the Japs to Christianity and an accept
ance by Orientals Of the Caucasian worid-ideal
Of the other more sordd interests-the workers Of
Japanese labor and the paid servants Of Japanese cor
porations-t is not necessary TO speak. No longer
can their sycophantc henchmen argue the question on
its merits
The people say: THIS Is A WHITE MANS
COUNTRY.
Hence the misguided spokesman for FEAR and
FOLLY, the tmid officials and the sentimental
preachers who are brought in to do the work of
those who are little less than traitors to their nation
and their race.
| In the name Of civilization, humanity and future
peace is hoped that the Legislators Of the state of
Washington will see past the simple dupes that urge
delay-wi see past them to the sinister, scheming
statesmen of Tokyo who plot to make this coast one
of the early outposts for their proposed worldempre,
ruled by yellow despot
