Filipinos have been arriving in continental United States in numbers as high as 1.000 per month. California receives more than 80 per cent of this influx. and now has a Filipino population of more than 50.000.

Filipinos should be absolutely exempted from the provisions of the ReedJohnson bill and other immigration measures intended to relieve our present unemployment condition. These objectors have advanced legalistic arguments and ethical theories. For us on the Pacific coast it is not a theory. it is a stern and painful reality.
