In my opinion. republics can not thrive with a heterogeneous population. and we want our Republic to live. Neither Japan nor China can have any just quarrel with us for that position. for we accord them the same privilege of invoking. the law of selfdefense. My reading convinces me that in the comparatively near future we will have to give attention. not to the Chinese question alone. not to the Japanese question aldne. but to the oriental .question of immigration. and probably consider it with China and Japan in association. That may seem unlikely now. but when one goes beneath the surface in the study of this particular race problem it begins to appear more reasonable. While still remembering that in recent times they have been at war. and still have their quarrels.
