From the Lips of a Japanese| Professor Kuno, of University of California, Exposes “The Government Within a Government” ROMPTED by the conviction that further deception will be certain to lead to strained relations between the United States and Japan, and determined to do what he can as a loyal Japanese and a friend to America to avert that calamity, Dr. Yoshi Saburo Kuno, professor in the department of Oriental languages in the University of Cali- fornia and son of Gen. Kuno of the Imperial Japanese army, tells a few truths that should make every American citizen, and particularly every member of the state legislature, sit up and take notice. A What Dr. Kuno describes as conditions in California are, of course, duplicated in this state and in every state where the Japanese have formed their colonies, a “The Japanese are not living in this state as emigrants, declares Dr. Kuno. “In my opinion they are establishing plantations of their own, introducing their peculiar civiliza- tion and governmental, as well as educational institutions right in the midst of American civilization. With the recognition of their home government thru (heir consulate offices, they have established a sort of quasi-government in leading cities, towns and districts, wherever the size of the Japanese population warrants. They levy a tax on Japanese males and Japanese families under the caption of a membership fee. With the permission of the con- sulate, they collect fees for all official service rendered the Japanese by the office. All the Japanese who live in the United States, whether they were born in this country or have come from Japan, have many affairs to be attended to in connection with the home government, because all are claimed as subjects by the Japanese government. How- ever, tho these matters must be handled in the consulate office, that office will have nothing to do with anything that does not reach it thru the channels of the quasi- Japanese government established in the towns and cities in California, and otherwise known as “The Japanese Asso- ciation.’ “In the state of California, the Japanese government maintains two consulate offices: viz, a consulate general at San Francisco and consulate at Los Angeles. “Under the control of each of these offices, there is one central Japanese association. Under the control of each central association, there are in turn numerous local Japa- nese associations, For example, the Central Japanese as- sociation at San Francisco has 40 local associations under its control, while the one at Los Angeles has 12. “In San Francisco there are practically three sorts of Japanese government: viz, the office of the consul general, which represents the Japanese government directly; the and the Local Japanese asso- associations in its district, in behalf of the office of the nim.|consul general. In case a local association should disobey, ing thetr calls! conduct itself with too great independence, or commit any .

This assembly is composed of delegates sent by the local asso- ciations. There is also another assembly held annually, which may be likened to the Califorinia state senate in that only the managers of the various loca] associations are en- titled to sit in that august body. of the Japanese association, quoting from the Nediaes of that in Berkeley, ‘to defend, protect, and guard Japanese interests and privileges against the outside, and to maintain and establish unity and harmony in the inside that they may enjoy full benefits.’ All the Japanese in the United States, including native sons and daughters, being, from the standpoint of Japan her sub- jects, are obliged to report births, marriages and death, besides movements of the families to the Japanese govern- ment. This can be done only by paying the fee to the as- sociation and transmitting the information thru that channel.” A government within a government! To spread pi lap propaganda, this government within a government has been instrumental in placing Japanese professors in American universities whose chief work is _|not to disseminate truths but to lavish praise upon Japan. THE SEATTLE STAR The House by the Side of the Road BY DR. WILLIAM E. BARTON That genial American poet, fam Walter Monn, touched a responsive chord in contemporary life wh he wrote nly poem, “The House by the Side of the Road.” He found in Homer @ line which told of @ certain gre clous character, that “He was a friend to man, and lived in @ house by the side of the road.” Whether his place of residence wan voluntar fly chosen and hence the expression of his friendship for human. ity, or whether it was aceldental, and ita op portunities well im proved made the owner increasingly hompitable and kindly, we may not know; but in the Amer. fean poem the place of residence was voluntar- “I and Homer collaborated,” wrote Mr. know who taught of the world, had this idea: food." being dominated every opportunity Where the The men who ly chosen, Hows.

March 4th Wilson can look back over the last clght yearw and way that he has done great things He has befriended the common people. He has led his country to « great war, and won it, People have called him & sort of Lincoln. But If Woodrow Wiieon fails to do one thing between now and the expire jon of bis term, future generations will not continue to call him quite another Lincoln. ‘The case of Bugene Debs, the (O-yearcld socialist, now serving « 10 year term in Atlanta prison, ts the case in point, The only hope for Debe in a presidential pardon.

His first trouble was with the Japanese consul at San Francisco, who summoned him and requested that he do not teach the sordid side of Japanese history to his classes. Dr. Kuno declined. Since that time, the Japanese have barred him from their asso- ciations and their meetings. “Wherever a Japanese association exists, a school is generally established under its auspices. Most Japanese children are thus obliged to attend two schools. 3 “They attend the regular American schools, and after school hours they have to go to the Japanese school, where they study from texts prepared for use in the schools of Japan. Thus these children, while being served with a double amount of education, whigh is in violation of physical laws, have instilled into thes two codes of moral- ity and two loyalties. The Japanese conduct these schools in a most official way. In the city or town, there is a Japanese board of education.” Dr. Kuno’s expose, he says, is for the purpose of com- pelling the Japanese in the United States to understand their own situation. He insists Japan must change her present policy of framing foreign relations and demands entirely upon her selfish interests, or she will have mi understandings, not only with the Unite, States, but with a!] other nations with which she comes in intimate relations. He offers several suggestions iooking toward remedying | the existing situation, including exclusion of further Japa- nese immigration; abo! lese associations and Jur i ; raising the standard of living of Japanese, and naturalization of Japanese now here.
