Letter to a Gentleman

This was part of the 1925 book Japanese Exclusion. This part is a reprint from American Review, 1924.

A number of sources of that time spelled Tokyo with an i, writing Tokio. The red marked area is a good hint that the writer is against the Japanese.

He's one of the people that does not believe that people from different races can ever really mix together successfully.

The movement against the Japanese is similar to the movement against the Chinese some years earlier.

He comes solidly to the “defense” of California.

This part is quite strong.

As some other writers said at the time, no agricultural settlements or workers to be allowed, but students and teachers are okay, for a short time, at least.

Blacks are brought up.
