Stressing the fact that the Ori-
entail question is particularly acute
one in this section, Mr.. Davis ex-
planned that the survey has no legis-
iative strings to pull and is merely
sane. practical ATTEMPT to help
solve problem that is here to stay.
'Closing the door ON japanese I'M
migration does not settle the matter
by anv means,' he said. I'm fact,
il is the signal for the opening of
orr work, as the Orientals now here
are here to stay. Pacific coast is
the racial laboratory of the world
and we hope to be able to attain
four obiectives by our project;
'.First-Get acquainted with
these alien races-in other words
conduct raeiai inventory, and find
out how they think and what they
think behind their mask-like attl-
tudeS.
Seeond-Fimd out what are the
permanent causes of irritation and
friction between the races.
.Third-Creatc a better under
standing of these people from the
viewpoint of their neighbors and as
sociateS.
"Fourth-Analyze and find, If
possible, scientific basis for our
feelings IN regard to these men and
women from across the sea.
