OF America-and that means Califor-
nia-to Japanese immigration, must
know that Japanese are always JAP
anese. Wherever born, their loyalty
is always in their ancestral land
This pride of race is commendable
when consistent. But if that pride
is so strong, why do the Japanese
crowd against the ports of Califor-
MIA, waiting every chance to slip
here as predatory horde, to strip
the land of what they can gain; their
ambition is to make this a Japanese
dependency, in population if not po-
litically.
In Hawaii, as here, the Japanese
have their language schools, where
loyalty to the mikado is taught with
the alphabet and with the algebra.
California has passed laws to force
the teaching of American history and
ideals in the schools conducted by
Japanese. That is palliative. \
The cure is to calk all the cracks
with drastic laws, so that no more
japanese can slip through.

Hawaii il a laboratory Of Amer
ica's Japanese problem. Laboratories
are not always pleasant places, how
ever essential they are for study,
and consequently Hawaii does not find
pleasure in dealing with issues
orientals raise there. The United
States, having opportunity to study
the Japanese problem as it is de-
yeloped in the mid-Pacific Islands,
should find the situation there most
helpful as the fight to keep America
free from oriental invasion continues.
Definite word how the Hawaiian
Islands finds the Japanese situation
is brought to California by Adjutant
General w. d. Potter Of Honolulu.
Eve do not trust the Japanese,
who makes up 45 per cent Of the
population Of Hawaii" says General
Potter. "Dual citizenship exists
among those who are born in Hawaii.

born in the Islands begin to vote,

were some 500 deserters from the Con-
tinental Army. At that period it is
estimated that there were not to ex-
coed $4,000 Catholics, men, women

have represented a very considerable

To thus uncover family skeletons

Probably there are few families, par

gruesome bones hidden away in the

might be a more widespread en-

any group, sect, party or people shall
