The types of people who appeared before the committee.
There is a fear of the West Coast becoming “like Hawaii,” and that fear is fueled by the newspapers.

The book points out one of the problems in statistics about immigration.
A particular anti-Japanese person, and what he wants done.
One person says charges against the Japanese are unjustified.
A person in the American Legion speaks out against the Japanese.
By 2002 half the people in California would be Japanese if the birthrate is allowed to continue like it was, at least according to this person. Also, a farmer testifies.
What this set of hearings produced.
Another anti-Japanese witness.
Once again the American Legion presents its anti-Japanese position.
The testimony of the anti-Japanese witnesses is unreliable, according to this person.
What the House Committee on Immigration and Naturalization came up with.
Another anti-Japanese statement, this one relating to fishing.
Yet another anti-Japanese speaker.
Although there were some pro-Japanese witnesses, they still mainly did not want Japanese immigration (which makes them somewhat less pro-Japanese that one would normally think.)
An example of just how anti-Japanese the newspapers were.
This reminds me of the “Once a Jap, always a Jap” saying from WWII.
Race ambitions of the Japanese.
Someone else speaks out against McClatchy.
Refutations of some of the anti-Japanese statements.
What the people who say the Japanese cannot become good Americans are saying.
