It seems a pity that it was necessary for a fine American woman—a mother—to come to The Star to seek relief from the Japanese “peaceful invasion,” as one did yesterday. It seems a pity and it IS a pity that her husband, a good workman, cannot find employment, that she could not find a job, BECAUSE SEATTLE EMPLOYERS ARE SHORT-SIGHTED ENOUGH TO HIRE JAPS. But it is more than a pity that their young daughter, in her last year of high school, is compelled to forego further education and hunt a position to maintain the family larder. IT IS LITTLE SHORT OF CRIMINAL. A pretty strong statement, but true, for be who deprives a child of the oppor- tunity for education steals—he steals more than money. For years The Star has been forecasting this very situation—an American fam- ily being turned out that Japanese may be let in. Is this the America for Americans, or what? Are our American girls to be kicked out of school that the children of non-taxpay- ing Japdnese may receive their education? The answer lies with employers. BEAR IN MIND THAT SO LONG AS YOU RETAIN A JAPANESE EMPLOYE YOU ARE KEEPING AN AMERICAN OUT OF A JOB, SENDING AN AMERI- CAN FAMILY TO THE ALMSHOUSE, ROBBING AN AMERICAN GIRL OF HER EDUCATION, and CHEATING YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN IN THE LONG RUN.
