I do not want to be misconstrued in what I say. because the people I shall talk about. the nation I shall talk about. has done me no harm. no single individual of this nation has done me any harm. As a native Californian. I have studied the situation intensely. and my remarks will be spoken purely in an objective spirit. I think I can treat this subject objectively. During my span of life I have seen the first Japanese immigration into our western coast. I have seen them expand until we found it necessary for purposes of selfpreservation to pass exclusion laws in California. Oregon. and Washington. and then finally to come to Congress and ask for similar enactments.
