Mr.. Gompers, Of the American
Federation Of Labor, tells the
House immigration Committee
that he was absolutely astound-
ed to learn that representatives
Of organized labor In Hawaii had
rot fifteen hundred dollars from
japanese merchants to help pre-
vsnt Chinese coolies entering the
islands"
Mr.. Gompers need not have
been absolutely, or partially, as
founded: Japanese are intelligent
They have marked the Hawaiian
Islands for their own. They
know after centuries of expert
ence what it means to compete
With Chinese labor. Therefore
they are willing to give organized
white workers moEey to keep out
their yellow brethren from China.
White workers and white law
makers might learn from the
Japanese contribution to the anti
Chinese fund to keep out ALL
Oriental labor.
Certain men, good ball players,
poor sports, sold out to gamblers
and cheated their followers.
They are acquitted, but profess
sional baseball will shut them
out.
q.
The shutting out makes little
difference. Where you have q
sport based on making money,
Eot on love Of exercise or admira-
tion for skill, you will have dis
honesty.
II would have been we'll for
the United States if all baseball
players were 30 thoroughly dis
honest Al to disgust the public
and persuade young men to 60
out and exercise for themselves
instead Of sitting on benches
watching somebody else exerciss.
There is too much inclinstion
to watch somebody else do It, in
stead Of going out and doing It.
That applies to sports, also to
politics.
The San Francisco Call, in one
Of its excellent editorials, refers
to 200 American soldiers bring
ing back German wives and chill
dren from the Rhine region.
The kindly editorial writer ex-
plains that men do not know
each other and says:
Don't criticize the American
soldier for marrying an enemy
girl; you might have done the
same thing"
Don't criticize, rather praise.
Intermarriage b tive e n races
based on war and conquest has
given US the mixed human breeds
that are the good, progressive
breeds among human beings.
Three thousand years ago the
most mixed of all the races was
the Greek race. From Asia, the
Balkans, from all directions, came
the people that made Greece the
greatest nation. Then Italy was
the great mixed nation. Then
France, with Romans, Gauls, Celts,
all types of Germans, was the
great nation.
Then came England, invaded
from everywhere, assimilating
everybody. And then the United
States loomed up rs the grand
international mixture. rs
In Asia the powerful nation is
Japan. And the islands Of Japan,
like Greece and like the swaInps
on which Venice was built, were
populated and built up by mixed
breeds from everywhere. A thor
oughbred horse and q mongrel
man make the best horse and the
best man. But with the human
animal, while you may mix the
BREED, you must not mix the
COLOR-that doesn't work.
