But it has probably not yet reached the point where the Government of Japan has passed any laws with reference to emigration to the United States. It has not reached sufficient magnitude yet. but I have no doubt. as in the case of the Chinese. that if this Government should take the matter up with Japan it could be arranged amicably. You understand. Mr. Chairman. that our people are not objecting to the coming of Japanese of the educated classes. Our only objection is to the coming of the coolie class. the laborers. who not only compete with our white labor at home but drive them out. take their homes away from them of necessity. because they can not live on the wages the Japanese can thrive upon. because they bring another civilization into our midst and degrade especially our rising generation. These are the principal reasons we object to Mongolians of any kind.
