COAST BODIES ASK
BAN ON JAPANESE
California Societies Join in Urging
Restriction on Senate
Committee.
RAPID GROWTH STRESSED
Oriental Hold on Business of Cities
Described.

Four California organizations join
ed today in urging the Senate immi-
grafton committee to retain in the
immigration bill a section which
would exclude aliens not eligible to
citizenship. The Japanese embassy
has protested against such a law.
The California departments of the
American Legion, the California Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, the State Grange
and the Native Sons of the Golden
West, were represented before the
committee. The case was presented
by Attorney General q. S. Webb, for
mer Senator James D. Phelan and v.
s. McClatchy of Sacramento.
Mr.. McClatchy argued that if immi-
grafton is to be restricted the logical
course would be first to exclude those
who under American laws may never
become citizens.
Attack on japanese.
'Immigration,'' said Mr.. McClatchy.
'is a domestic question which this
government should regulate without
suggestion or interference from any
foreign nation. Of the yellow and
brown races, the Japanese are less
assimilable and most dangerous, IT
admitted as permanent residents OF
this country"
Mr.. McClatchy said that in 1880 there
were no Japanese residents in California,
whereas there were not less than
100000 now, and quoted the state
board of health as saying that 1t
existing conditions continue ultimate
in California. In some parts of the
state the Japanese births already ex-
ceed those of the whites, he said.
and they control ene-eighth OF the
states rich irrigated lands, having
driven white 1aborers' and tenants
"They have displaced whites in
business" Mr.. McClatchy, continued.
"In Los Angeles city licenses are
paid by over 1000 businesses owned
over 1,100 vegetable and fruit stores
and over 500 grocery stores.
Failure of Agreement.
"These conditions have developed
during the past sixteen years under
operation of the gentleman's agree
ment for regulation of Japanese inn
migration. This is a secret under
standing covered by correspondence
which even the congressional fmmi.
grafton committees are not permitted
to see, and under it any Japanese who
comes to this country bearing
Japanese passport must De aomitteo
provided he has no contagious dis
ease, a remarkable surrender of this
nations sovereignty, not granted to
any other nation and not granted by
any foreign nation"
Referring to those opposed to ex-
clusion of aliens Ineligible for citi-
zenship, Mr.. McClatchy said three
organizations, the Federal Council,

The law became effective on July
l, 1928, and in the ensuing E months

injured in eleven accidents at eros
sings of the Southern's tracks in
North Carolina, as against six killed
and twenty-four injured in twenty
one accidents during the first six
months of 1923, eleven killed and TWEEN
tty-tive injured in eighteen accidents
during the last half of 1922, and eight
killed and twenty-five injured in fif-
teen accidents during the first half
of 1922. -'
