NO. 138. ee ? Tat — ~~ SEATTLE, WASH., TUESDAY, AUG 4 Land Wednesday, fair , 1919. "Weather Forecast: Tonle dnesday; gentic westerly wind SH WE DODGE JAP ISSUE: The Japanese question is here---NOW. We can dodge it now, as certain of our prominent citizens, for com- - mercial reasons, prefer. But dodging the issue doesn’t settle it. There are from twelve thousand to twenty thousand Japanese in Seattle today. They form four to five _ per cent of our total population, and they are increasing as only the Japanese can increase. If we dodge the issue now--- How many Japanese will be in Seattle five years from now? How many in ten years from now? How many in twenty years, or fifty? These are questions for us to determine intelligently and courageously now. Had the world faced Germany’s aceful penetration” in its early stages there would have been no world war. Had our early colonists faced » negro problem intelligently and courageously there:would have been no civil war. There would now be no ceful race riots. Today we can settle the Japanese question peaceably. It will not be so easy in ten or twenty or fifty years, _when the Japanese population shall have increased to ten or twenty OR EVENTUALLY TO FIFTY PER CENT. | We can discuss the problem calmly and dispassionately now. The Japanese are intelligent, they are industrious and capable. But they are Japanese. They cannot be assimilated. That is as clear to the Japanese as it is to Americans. Of course we can dodge the issue, close our eyes to the growing menace, or—we can face the "problem and settle it now.
