I speak as one striving honestly to represent all the varied interests of the State which I have the honor in part to represent upon the floor of this House. I appeal to the membership of this House to listen and ponder the few facts that I am bringing to their attention. and to hear the cry that our people are sending up for protection from a most real and present impending danger to their moral and material welfare. Let us now look for a moment at the present commercial and industrial condition of the Japanese people. and consider the probable effect in the immediate future of these conditions upon their immigration to the United States. The Japanese Empire embraces 147.655 square miles of territory. Of this small territory. less than the State of California. only 15.7 per cent is arable land. including plains and pasture lands.
