Because" said DR.. Dean, I'VE know
one another. Our daily lives are of a
piece. We have interracial sports. In
base ball you will see Filipino pitch
ing, a Portuguese catching, Chinese
ut bat, a japanese on first base, a
Hawaiian at shortstop, perhaps a
negro at second or third and mixed
breeds in the field. Bassing the whole
lot may be a boy belonging to any one
OF the races or racial mixtures in the
team. AS there is no racial amour
propre and no nationalism in science.
so we find none of these in our games
and athletics. Possibly the great
biological and social experiment now
running in Hawaii has not gone far
enough to warrant conclusions, but
from what we can see now there
seems good reason to await the final
demonstrate ton with confidence"
AT one time" said Prof. Romance
Adams, certain Of our business inter
ests went before Congress with an
organized agitation in favor of bring
ing in Chinese laborers as an Offset
to what was represented as the ex-
actions of the Japanese plantation
workers. 1t was asserted that the
Japanese We're disposed to use their
labor power to dispossess the white
planters and put brown planters in
their places. Strikes, it was argued,
were the means whereby the con-
spiracy of Japanese capitalists and
workers was to be effectuated. AS a
matter of fact, 1t was the Filipinos,
not the Japanese, who were striking.
Anyway, the agitation failed, the Chi
nese were not brought to the rescue.
the matter was dropped and the white
planters are still in possession.
"Pan-Pacificism Is developing a pam
Pacific race, except that the Caucas-
ian is not numerously involved in the
process. So far we cannot detect a
bad issue, biological, intellectual or
social. Apparently we are building a
sound community, comparatively free
from crime and other abnormality."
Prof. Adams has made the interest
ing discovery that the Japanese and
some other boys in the University of
Hawaii are taller than their fathers.
This fact he put down to their more
generous and diversified diet. In the
university woman instructor has fed
two white rats, one on an Oriental
and the other on an Occidental dies.
and the latter is much larger and
more vigorous than the one which has
lived on rice and a paucity of vita
Minis. Prof. Adams Is not yet inclined
to venture upon a large generaliZa-
ton, but he has little doubt that the
biblical implication of the fixity of
human stature wants re-examination.,
