T ORIAL— Where Dr.Crowther Knew | Not Whereof He Spoke! | Dr. Crowther, pastor of the First Methodist church, may be convinced that no Japanese have come here as spies ‘Let us grant that it is a debatable question. It was a de- Datable question so far as Hun espionage was concerned, 9, until proved beyond the shadow of a doubt. Nor do we deny to Dr. Crowther the right to moralize the loftiness and high-mindedness of picture-bride matri- mony. If it is his opinion that photographic marriages ct e for.American assimilation; that Japanese families do q ot breed faster than whites; and that there is no menace 4 their constantly-growing numbers, that is Dr. Crowther’s privil of thought. : Res ec sa a thas we should admit Japanese in any mbers that we can assimilate, we can properly debate he question of how many can be assimilated-—whether one, or ten, or a thousand, or tens of thousands. Dr, Crowther entitled in fair debate to place the number at millions if he chooses. We can quarrel with his judgment* only. _ Bven when he declares that the Japanese have lived up to so-called “gentlemen's agreement,” despite the statistics immigration, which bear so directly against Dr. Crow 's contention, we may grant him debatable ground. * But in two respects, Dr. Crowther touched upon unde- § ground in his addres® Sunday night. In two oon pects he spoke of things he apparently knew nothing Fabout. In two matters, he was utterly and hopelessly and a dly mistaken. ’ The first was his statement that California merchants | 4 behind the anti-Japanese campaign in the Northwest order to bring back Japanese trade to the southern i The absurdity of this statement is apparent on its/| In order to have even the semblance of truth behind it would be necessary to assume that California has d its anti-Japanese agitation. Yet, in truth and in act, the agitation is becoming keener and keener there for | he very plain reason that Japanese aggression and pene- | fation has touched the Californians more seriously and| grievously than it has elsewhere in the United tSates. | n that state, whole sections are Japanized. In that state, | se are being smuggled across from the Mexican bor-| In that state they have felt the hand of Japanese pmic oppression for some time. They know from actual | nce what it means, while we inf the Northwest are | beginning to get it. To say that California merchants | now fostering a campaign in the Northwest in order to Japanese business back to California, which they had by opposing further Japanese encroachments, is the | @ight of foolishness. The Star takes whatever respons! ty attaches to this campaign. It was not approached by; California interests. It was not influenced by any Cali- merchants or syndicates. It was impressed with the and the figures. It knew of the aggressions of Japa- here. It saw how, year by year, our farming lands converted to Japanese control. It saw our living) tel our apartments, our hotels---passing under Japanes mination. And it saw them not as the idealistic, Golden- ule people that Dr. Crowther would paint them, but as pedy, money-worshiping people, who slaved day and r in order that their fortunes might e up bigger and bigger. And because The Star is for Merica and Americans first, it entered the fight against Japanese aggrandizement here. Dr. Crowther knew # whereof he spoke when he guessed otherwise. _And the learned doctor also knew not whereof he spoke by hint isd veiled threat, he attempted to convey to r on the idea of-boycott on The Star. 0 x does not know The Star when he talks of ereing it by withdrawing advertisements or circulation. ‘we dare say that most members of his congregation do. } those who will, express astonishment and surprise at @ gentleman of the cloth who talks of the Golden Rule for ' in one breath, and emits eruptions of revenge and it it those who oppose his views, in another sth ‘e shall leave it to others to define the Christian- ‘spirit that might have been evinced. $ us, our duty is plain. It is to impress’ Dr. J. E. fowther, and all others who may unhappily labor under the me delusion, that The Star never has and never will be) breed into espousing or opposing anything which its free | YT has not dictated. ‘And no boycott, implied, itened or actual, will swerve it one iota. i ‘. oe fhe Star is against Japanese invasion. it stands unequivocally, now and forever!
