Why California Objects to the Japanese Invasion -1921

This is material from The American Academy of Political and Social Science, January, 1921.

The very term 'Japanese invasion' should let the reader know immediately what side of the argument this person stands on. Then he starts talking about the numbers of Japanese in agriculture in California.

1: How the Japanese got hold of land.

2: The Japanese standards of living are low, and they drive out white competitors.

3: The Japanese don't assimilate with 'our people.'

4: It's not a matter or racial prejudice.

5: 'We must preserve the soil for the Caucasian race.'
