All acts and parts of acts inconsistent or in conflict with the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. The white and yellow races are unassimilable. The idea of marriage between whites and Asiatics is revolting. It shatters the very keystone of occidental civilization. It is demoralizing in morality and menacing in problems of a mongrel racial degeneracy. It brings into being dangers of manifest evil to American homes and institutionis. I conceive that we would be unworthy of our heritage if we gave countenance to the prostitntion of what we honor as the most sacred contract under the law. According to our standard. the Asiatics are not immoral. they are unmoral. The size of Japan is about half that of California and contains a population of about 75.000.000. Women are not highly regarded.
