Under the imperial rule they are still subjects of His Imperial Majesty across the Pacific waters. and yet we construe those who are native born as citizens of our own Government. Now. what kind of patriotism can we expect this to produce from such persons? Also there is a distinct. diplomatic movement right now in my State and with the State Department here to relieve the Japanese and the Chinese of the embargo on immigration that is against them. They want to be placed under a quota. and I have this morning signed a letter to the President which. as I recall. was also signed by practically every one of the 21 Members of Congress from the State of California. protesting the relaxation of the present statutory condition so as to permit any Japanese or any Chinese to come into the State of California or into this country. even under a quota system. Of course. the Japanese say this is offensive to their natives. and that at home their local writers write this up and picture themselves as being discriminated against. Of course.
