It was natures purpose not to have all the races mixed. so as to have white and black. red and yellow and brown form one homogeneous man. but to have the races evolved within themselves. and whenever this great natural principle is violated. you will have race antagonism. and finally there will be a conflict. when the point is reached where one race endeavors to destroy or drive out the other. In the Pacific Ocean. as well as on Americas own soil. natures laws have been violated. great antagonism and bitter race hatred have been engendered. A movement on our part to stop immigration of foreigners in increased numbers has caused practically a demand of the other nations upon us to renounce the exercise of our sovereign rights. Furthermore. notice has already been served on our State Department that In 1911 the great military power of Asia will not agree to negotiate a further treaty unless we leave out the clause stopping the inflow of cooly labor. Here is friction on the Pacific Coast. because segregation is forbidden. and here we have the question of territory and sovereignty complicated with the troublesome race question.
