And so you read in the news dispatches: “More than 2,500 Japanese are crowding steamship offices daily, trying to get bookings to the United States before the exc lusion law goes into effect.” The gentlemen’s agreement was entered into for the express purpose of preventing an increase of Japanese population in It has been willfully and consistently violated. The 2 this country. 500 eager Japs now seeking bookings are only a drop’ ‘in the bucket in a wholesale campaign of ’ duping. More than 100,000 Japs ave settled on the Pacific coast since the gentlemen's agreement went into effect. Japan permitted it. Tn the three months of February, March and April, of this y ar, more than 2,000 Japanese sailed from one Pacific port alone to go to Japan and hurry back with brides. Japan not only stood for it, but granted special dispensa- tion to wife-seekers, allowing them a longer time from liability for military service. ei wire is in the country and freedom THE Pacific coast rejoiced when President Roosevelt effected the gentle men’s agreement. It thought an amicable settlement had been made of a troublesome and acute problem. And then it discovered that the swarms of Ja oarae immigrants still con- tinued; that the West coast was fast being turned into a “Little Japan”; that the imperial government, playing « diplomatic game at Washington with a straight face, was winking on the Pacific coast and rushing colonists into this country as fast as ships could bring them. ‘It was not until indignant Westerners, aroused by this deceit, clamored so "| (oudly that they focused national attention on the situation that congress rose *o a realization of how this nation was being duped. IS this nation that has been insulted. And now the suave Japanese diplomats at Washington mention ‘“conse- ices” if this nation, ita enforcing the agreement, “attacks the dignity of en.” They speak of “insults.” F We have been insulted by a deliberate betrayal of trust— '—By 100,000 immigrants who have encroached, illegally, on our lands— —By Japanese influences at Washington that have used, the congressional records show, crooked methods in fighting the battle of the Japs— —By selfish interests—political, industrial and religious—thru which the wily os played polities in Washington to seek to gain their ends. _ We gave the Japs one chance. And they tossed it away. “In the face of this, then, Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Hughes, does it not devolve mon this nation to concern itself with the question of whether Japan consid- ers itself “insulted” over a purely American domestic problem?
