. Crowther Is | Praised; Also | Is Criticised CITES SACRAMENTO VALLEY Raitor The Star; My blood falr- | Jy dolled when I read your publi cation of th st of the sermon by Rev. J Crowther on the} Japanese que And I dare say | ‘tis well for humble self that I read it in your paper inate hearing the sermo: doubt would have been pinched for disturbing a religious meeting. Dr. | D ly knows only one ry im ant subject, |] not the gtand |}} eater part of two years | past i spent in California traveling in a commercial way. And one|f| who has made the territory up thru the Sacramento valley can ||| readily understand why the people | [| of the great state of California are | aroused on this question. It ts a} fight to save their homes and land | for the coming generation, And Were Dr. Crowther to make the} rounds as I have made them, he Would throw up both hands and/}/ say enough. | Japs in restaurants wil! work eight or ten hours, then go home and le down four or five hours, and then come back and work five |[} or six hours more, seven days in|) the week. | I have been In the markets In Los Angeles and have seen Jap |f} farmers coming into market fast Asteep—had siept all the way; | thelr horses guiding themselves. | They would get up at 2 in the! morning, hitch onto a wagon |} ed the night before, and in » | eases drive 25 miles, sleeping all! the way in. Can Americans com- pete with this? No, The time has |}| come for Americans to realize that | [| there is great danger not far|[) ahead. Peace and safety is not the motto for this case. | Before the civil war people /f) laughed at the thought of anything!) Nke @ rebellion. But when too late! to avert the danger, the greatest | evil war of all time was fought, causing the death of more than a million of our best manhood. There were men who saw this/ danger years before, and had they | been Hstened to, all of that terrible |]/ war could have been averted. But/ they pooh-poohed them then, as they do the warning of the yellow peril today. But the danger today is even greater than ft was then. I wil mot take space to discuss the many reasons why this is true. Dozens of reasons already have been pub- Hshed along this line. But the Japs are getting so thick, and acquiring land so fast in Calusa, as well as other parts of Sacra- mento valley, that people there} know they are up against it. Why wait? . Handle this question NOW, Before it's too late. Let all true|f> Americans step out and show which side of the fence they are on, And may Dr. Crowther see the érror of his way and repent before it Is too late. America for Americans, W. H. MILLER, M6 Epler Butiding. COMMENDS STAR Editor The Star: Your editorial calling Dr. J. E. Crowther to task for his un-American sermon on the/ Japs was most timely and opportune. | I heartily, endorse the sentiment you/{) express. | You are to be commended for your ‘agitation of the Japanese question. | ‘This is a white man’s country and/ not big enough for further immigra-| tion of any races with whom the whites cannot inter-marry. PRAISES CROWTHER Editor The Star: Looking over your paper today I note your scorn: | ful remarks against a man who is beyond your capacity to criticise. | There is some one of you, too, strong on personal opinion, hiding behind the words “we” and “Ameri canism” until you sound hysterical to Americans of deeds afd not of ‘words. After hearing Dr. Crowther speak I was surprised that he dared to tell the truth to minds that were already partly poisoned by the press. The Doctor struck me as a fear Jess speaker of the truth, well in- formed on his subject and broad in his understanding and analysis of world matters. You are very superfictal in your criticism of Doc. You are not on the plane or elevation even to understand the man. It is only the good and honest at heart that gain true knowledge, and a broad under- standing, and they don't go around sneering in their scornful pity of a| man, trying to arouse all the sin- ners in a loud voice, “Behold the||| man, I disapprove of him.” Who?) If you will listen to Dr. Crowther |[} and not start to oppose him the moment he starts, in your prejudis- tie way, but try to welgh and verify what he says.from the-right source and honestly, you will soon find that the man is an impartial phil-| osopher and student of the world’s! troubles, and goes deep to get the! matter for his speeches, and he truly knows the Chinese and Jap- anese history from the 16th cen- tury year by year, and is not afraid | to give it straight, and as a Chris-| | | | | th thi th 0 Ja jit are H hi p | th as ahi AMERICAN PAPER CO.
