Absorption being admittedly impossible, will the expanding, increasing and racially-conscious Japan- ese dwell among us as a servile element? ; No one has the temerity to assume that they will. It’s a pretty dream—two races advancing side by side, with one race equipped to overwhelm the other in any open competition because able and willing to make sacrifices which we, the whites, cannot and will not make. “The Japanese,” says Judge Burke, “are condemned for their virtues.” : If living in squalor; if toiling without let-up during every hour of daylight, every day of the week; if exacting from women and chiltiren every ounce of their energy in the form of field labor—if all these be virtues, the Japanese are wel- come to credit for them. When Dr. Matthews condemned as “Yellow-Backed Amer- |icans” the whites who sell out to the Japanese, undoubtedly jhe did not mean those who succumb to economic pressure and sell out rather than starve. He meant those who cap!- talize the determination of the Japanese to buy their way into every department of American economic life. The term may stick. It may be that presently the Amer- j ican who in any way, openly or secretly, aids in the con- quest of his country thru the “peaceful penetration” of Jap- be regarded as worse than “hyphenated” in his loyalty. He will be called “yellow-backed”—a homely, a handy term.
