This decision was reached at a joint meeting of a committee from the Mutual Business club and officials of the American Legion Thursday afternoon in the Green building. The meeting was called by the club to force some action on the Japanese question here, and to consider the recommendations made to the club by Miller Free- man at its meeting Monday night. Rev. U. G. Murphy, for 14 years & missionary In Japan, who was re- led before the immigration committee of the house of represent- atives to state his views on the Jap- anese problem, was present at the Meeting, and presented arguments against those of Freeman. Murpby invited the members present to ask him questions, in order to bring out all sides of the question. While all those present questioned him closely Sullivan, local at , formerly of the army intelli and now vice chairman of the American Legion, led the attack on the Japanese, and the meeting de- ence, Champion of | veioped into a discussion between | | Sullivan and Murphy. fhat the Japanese who appeared before the draft board, of which he Was chairman, appeared to be in- |Man Says Anything After he | structea to asic exemption, was one | done under of the statements made by Sullivan.

Kannear, secretary of the club, declared Come in by Back Door Norman Coles, adjutant of Elmer Noble post of the American Legion, spoke in favor of giving the returned | man an opportunity, and said. that when the soldiers went out the front door to France, the Japanese apparently came in the back door Murphy denied the statements made by those present, and defended the Japanese side of the argument meeting was opengd by Will 8.

H. Mahon moved the call- | ing of a meeting on August 11, with | representatives of every civic or- | ganization present to discuss the problem, Jack Sullivan, vice chair- |man of the American Legion, de- | clared that the question involved the policy of this country and should be approached in a spirit of fairness to all, | Hindrance to Soldiers |. “And the Japanese has the jump,” jhe said. ‘The returned man is not | going to be able to compete with |the Japanese, and this bill will be- | come a hindrance to him instead of a help. The situation merits a thoro | investigation, and calls for co-oper- ative action, which shouldn't be swayed by interests having invest- ments in Japan, who look only to | themselves.” Arthur Hein then declared that facts should be presented to back up all statements, and R. J. Me- Duffie appealed for a fair and im: partial discussion of the question. “We may be dealing with a race | of people who may be working in underground channels,” McDuffie | said, “If they have $600,000,000 ine | vested here, it seems to have been cover, They may pos sibly be a menace.” | Deportation Impossible | The picture bride problem was in troduced by John C. Leslie. The immigration of Japanese women in this way should be stopped immediately,” he asserted. “If these women were not coming to propa- gate, then the Japanese would soon eliminate themselves. Deportation of all Japanese is impossible, and | the stopping of the inflow of these | women is the essential point.” hat the American Legion has al- pointed a committee to in the activities of the J s brought out by Nor vestigate anese here, ¥ }man Coles, adjutant of the local post. “When the boys went out the front door to France, the Japanese came in the back door,” he declared The proportion of increase of Jap anese is astounding.
