Japan has rid Burma. French Indochina. Thailand. and the Dutch East Indies of white authority. She has given these peoples the illusion of liberty and has made them in their present state of dependency fertile fields for dissatisfaction with America as evidenced particularly by our Exclusion Act. Race hatred is the master weapon of the Nippon as well as the Nazi. It is our greatest threat to world peace. The enactment of the proposed legislation is legally obligatory. morally necessary. and economically indispensable for our own best interests. It is not only an act of faith but of interest. sentiment. and justice on our part.
