Cause of the fire has not been
determined yet.
The fire broke out on the down.

the three-story structure and DAM
aged the stock.
Although no residents, firemen
or spectators suffered personal in

wall and had destroyed the second
floor before it was discovered.
Rescues Wife
Mrs. Tatsuda, an expectant
mother, was i'll in bed on the sec

her temporarily before her hus-
band, Jimmy, dashed through the
raging inferno and carried her out
the back way.
One observer declared that he
saw two explosions which threw
black smoke far out across the
street.
Local firemen bsttled the fire
for three hours with their full per-
sonnet of 81 men and officers be-

This came partly from necessity,
for the designing and creating of

To cut down on the terrific over

Editorial
Chinese Had 1t Rough Trying
To Have Exclusion Act Repealed

Repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act on quota basis
by the United States government October T. 1913,
was of the most important bills passed by the Con-
gress of our nation during World War II.
Action, favored by the House immigration committee
by an to count, definitely step towards lower
ing the immigration bars which have constantly frustrated
the Efforts of many statesmen seeking pacific settlements
In the past The repeal of the act permits 1O5 Chinese
to enter country each year but what the Chinese had
to face to attain this liberalization of the act should be
reviewed by the Japanese who quibbng today
the sowness of Congress to act Japanese problems in
these times when atomic bombs employment and relief
are the chief topics on the supper table.
1t should be noted by all Japanese that the Chinese
Exclusion Act standing law since 1882 In other
words, it sixtyoneyearold effort the part of
the Chinese
grafton into the United States At the pace set by the
Chinese the Japanese still have until 1885 to make good
a 105-quota.
And about the trials and rbulaons of the Chinese
whose problems are very much similar to those faced by
the Japanese.
In the first place. the Chinese like other immigrants
in the past attracted and excited the
of the discovery of gold in the Sacramento Valley of Cali
foa in January of 1848 The of the gold discovery
reached Hong Kong in the spring of that year.
Because things not breaking too well in China
with the Opium War of 1910 leaving ndelibly cruel
aftermath the Chinese dreamed of the gold which rested
in the mines of California.
And that dream turned to reality in 1850 when
VESSELS f1oHg hOng WIN
nearly 500 passengers By the end of 1851 there
at least $4,000 Chinese in California engaged either in
placer mining in domestic and manual labor.
Gradually the Chinese worked themselves into the
breadbasket of American labor and gradually the white
people became conscious of the danger of cheap Chinese
labor to American labor.
Super-patriotic politicians and unthinking newspaper
then got together to prosecute the Chinese. They
charged the Chinese being debased coolies, cannsh
dangerous deceitfu and vicious where have heard
that before)?
To make life unpleasant and difficult for the Chinese
the antiChnese Californans it that the Chinese
were taxed heavily. The Chinese even excluded
during 1869 from the city hospital in San Francisco.
And while life dragged for the scorned Chinese,
several bills and treaties of Importance bearing down
on them were introduced.
One of them the Geary Law of 1892 which actu-
ally proposed to drive the Chinese of the United
States But the Geary Law failed to make much Roadway

all Chinese aborers and other moderate egsatons

The show will be the first major

Differs in Two Phases
In two important phases it will
differ from other fashion shows.
First, while many of the models
are professionals, others will not
be, for Suzy insists that every
woman has a certain charm which
can be emphasized through what
she calls Personality designing"
Therefore not only will the usual

stunning clothes. but girls and
women of every day proportions
also will appear, including several
matrons.

Congress, Myer said, should ere
ate n commission to receive claims
for several million dollars worth"
of property loss or damage from
those forcibly removed from their
homes and businesses.
On December Is, 1914, the STU
preme Court ruled that the Army
had the right to exclude Japanese
from the west coast as a safety
measure Immediately after the at
tack on Pearl Harbor.
Cites Difference
In another decision the same
day, it was pointed out, the court
said there was a difference be-
tween the exclusion order and
other orders under which Japanese
were detained in relocation centers
in the interior.
Myer in a report to Secretary of
the Interior Krug asserted that
1t. Gen. John l.. Dewitt, Western
defense commander who ordered
the 1912 evacuation, was by no
means free of racial feelings In
taking this step.
The War Relocation Authority,
Myer said. believes that in all
probability a selective evacuation
of people of Japanese descent from
the west coast military area was
unjustified."
Protests Exclusion
But" ne added. ut does not be-
lieve that mass evacuation was
ever justified and 1t feels most
strongly that the exclusion orders
remained in effect for months and
perhaps for years after there was
any real Justification
Myers report quoted Dewitt as
telling House committee on
naval affairs at San Francisco in
1913:
II don't want any of the Japa-
nese here. They are a dangerous
element. 1t makes no difference
whether he is an American citizen,
he is still Japanese"
I'm 1914 and 1945." Myer said,
1.-The American people of Japa-
nese descent not only regained
their pre-war status but actually
achieved a higher level Of popular
acceptance than they have known
since the early 1906"
This was due, Myer was report
ed as saying by the Associated
Press, to the record of the Nisei
soldiers and to the quiet, unobtru-
sive return of the former war re-
location camp inmates themselves
to civilian life.
Stresses Action
Myer said the W.R.A. believes
the following three major lines of
action are needed to insure a bet
ter indignation of the japanese
people into the body of our society
and to soften existing injustices:
/. Enactment of legislation pro-
viding for an evacuation claims
commission" to consider claims
against the government for prop
erty losses suffered as direct
result of the evacuation.
2. Modification of the federal
naturalization laws to put Japa-
nese people on the same basis as
