Every year that passes will bring increased difficulties because of the public school situation. Every year will heighten the difference between the oriental laborer and the white laborer. and the white laborer can not be blamed for standing for the welfare of his own fireside. Last of all. every year that goes by without positive legislation looking to the checking of oriental immigration means the introduction into our midst of a people of a strange blood who throughout the centuries to come will retain their individuality and serve as the slumbering embers that will in the sometime burst into flames of international wars involving our own country and the nations of the Orient. We may talk of friendly understanding and the willingness of the oriental nations to prevent the immigration of their people to our shores. I respect the sincerity of those who urge this course. but I have no confidence in the merits of such a policy. We can not leave this question to Japan and to Korea any more than thirty years ago we could have left the question of Chinese immigration to the Chinese Government. The present ministry may favor the policy. the succeeding one may oppose it. or if it favors it. the ministry may not prove itself efficient. During the last few days the people of Japan. by their votes. have asked for a new ministry.
