Another
Warning

(FT0m Lhe San FTdHctSCO EIu'NHefJ
THE comparative rates OF birth
among the Japanese, whites
- and other race units in Cali
fornia for the first six months this
year constitute another warning to
the nation.
The birth rate among the Japanese
resident in California is 69.4 per
thousand.
The birth rate among whites in
California is 1871 per thousand.
The ratio represented in those
figures is almost to /.
1t does not require an expert in
mathematics to see what such dis
proportionate rates Of increase
would mean to California in period
of, say, another ten years.
Allowed to 60 on, unmolested by
anything stronger than the so-called
"gentlemen's agreement" the Jap
anese problem in California will be-
come a close second to that already
full-grown problem in Hawaii.
1t was to serve warning to the
nation of the size of the problem
that Californians last year passed
the new land ownership law.
Essentially, the japanese prob
lem must be settled by the national
government.
: 1t can be settled properly in only
one way.
That way is the way of exclusion.
Exclusion will not mean Ameri-
can antipathy toward Japan any
more than the same kind of exclu-
sion meant antipathy toward China.
The problem as it existed with
regard to the Chinese is precisely
the same as the problem WHICH ex-
lists today with regard to the
japanese.
And it must be settled in the same
way.
As we said in these columns few
weeks ago, the United States has the
inalienable right to decide the char
acter her civilization is to assume in
the years ahead.
America has decided it will have
an entirely white civilization.
This means no reflection upon
Oriental civilizations, for which, to
be frank, many Americans have a
high and warm admiration.
1t represents, merely, a definite
choice.
Upon that choice America must
stand.
Upon it America must shape her
immigration laws.

part in the memorial services
in honor of the unknown Italian
soldiers who died in the war was
booted and jeered by the people OF
Venice, and had to have the pro-
lection of the police and military
against threatened violence.
This may seem strange to many
Americans, who still have the gross
ly wrong conception of European
politics and national sentiments
which gained currency during the
war. But it will not surprise any
one who knows with what bitter
anger and regret the Italian people
look back upon the war. The angry
demonstration at Venice was not so
much demonstration against the
French as il was q demonstration
against Italy's costly participation
in the war.
The people of Italy did not want
to participate in the war. After
they had been thrust into it, the
Italian people fought bravely and
endured heroically. They saved the
allies from defeat in 1915, just as
America saved them in 1918. Since
the war there has been a rapid re-
newal of the old ties of sympathy
and friendship for Germany, a po-
itical entente with Russia and
profound distrust and dislike of
former allies.
Last Sundays papers contained
two articles by Italian statesmen
one by Nitti and one by Tittoni.
Both show the good sense and the
broad outlook of Italian statesman
ship. Both writer's deal with the
present condition of Europe. Both
look with apprehension upon the
present and with fear upon the fu-
ture. Both declare that Europe's
only hope is in a return to friendly
economic cooperation between the
late enemies. Both urge the scaling
down of the war indemnities to a
workable basis. Both insist that
sterilization of exchange by inter
national cooperation is essential to
Europe's recovery.
We think the two Italian states
men are absolutely right. Readers
of The Times will remember that
this paper has constantly taken the
same view of Europe's political,
financial and industrial sickness and
of the remedies which should be
employed before the sickness ends
in collapse.
The Supreme Court of Mexico has
decided that the provisions of the
Constitution relating to oil and
mineral properties are not retro
active. American oil producers are
highly gratified by this decision,
and production has jumped to
double that Of two months ago. All
disputes between Mexico and the
United States have been settled
amicably, and the Southern Repub-
lie seems to have secured stability.
good order and prosperity. This is
all due to the wisdom, moderation
and strength Of President Oregon,
who has proved himself to be as
able and successful in the conduct
of civil affairs as he was in the con-
duct of military campaigns.

Leopold Godowslxy-The Man

remarkable portrait of Leopold
GodowsSy-the world famous pianist
who will be here on Friday. November
II, under the auspices of the Phil
harmonic Club. was painted by Has.
kell Coffin, the celebrated portrait
painter and exhibited at a prominent
Fifth avenue gallery. The painter
caught the soul and spirit of Godow-
sky in a wonderful manner and it is
very interesting in this connection to
read his impression of his subject
written for n musical weekly.
Having completed n portrait OF
Leopold Godowsliy, I was requested TO
give my impression of him. Although
had heard him play many times /
did not have the pleasure of his ac-
quaintance, so naturally looked for
ward TO our meeting with great in
terest. From among the crowd he
came with outstretched hand and Il
manner so simple and sincere as to
nut us at once zen rapport"
mo one can truly know Leopold
Godowsfy without liking and re-
sDecting him. He is small of stature
but great of soul. A poet as we'll as
n master musician of the finest order
he reminds one of a finely cut and
finished cameo. l enjoyed my hours
with him TO the utmost, they We're
days of real pleasure, full of discus.
sion Of topics of mutual interest.
Among his many fine characters.
tics most prominent and most rare is
his wonderful modesty. AS he himself
remarked. why should one feel con
celted when life is so very transitory
and uncertain?
He possessed a most discriminating
taste and one feels that he not only
has the courage of his convictions,
but is true 10 them. TO be able TO
paint real portrait it is necessary
10 penetrate even the soul of any sub
iect. and my impression of Leopold
Godowsky is not only that of u great
artist, but n man of fine ana high
character, whom We may prize as a
sincere friend"
