Where will the line be drawn? How long will a people under our flag be bound down by restrictions on their travels? Will they not ever be in revolt. or be abject slaves to the unjust system of American colonial rule? California and the Pacific coast States that have been afflicted as with a plague by the incoming of Asiatics seek by act of Congress to keep out the Chinese inhabitants of Hawaii. This is manifestly in the interest of labor. but can it be lawfully done? The Japanese and Filipinos are as great a menace to labor as the Chinese.
