Instead of therein would not increase. it being frankly explained by Roosevelt that an increase of Japanese in this country. with their advantages in economic competition and general unassimilability. would be certain to lead to racial strife and possible trouble between the two nations. There is no question that the purpose of the agreement as thus eicplained by Roosevelt has not been carried out. It Is clearly established that the Japanese population of continental United States has very materially increased during the operation of the agreement. partly by direct immigration and partly by birth and doubtless also partly by surreptitious entry. From 1912 to 1915. Inclusive. there were over 30.000 " picture brides" who came to the United States. and I have here a list on one vessel from 50 to 100.
