I should like to continue the letter of Commissioner White. It is practically closed. He says: The social and economic conditions under which the Japanese live are such that our American farmer can not compete with him. and if something is not done in the Immediate future to stop this class of immigration the time is not far distant when the entire farming Industry of this coast will pass into the hands of the Japanese. Already the Japanese are reaching out for the commerce of the Pacific Ocean. and with the land of California and our commerce in their hands we will be more an adjunct of Japan than part of the American Union. That is the opinion of a man engaged in handling these iismmigrants. who is and whose fathers before him for two generations have been farmers in California. and whose brother.
