council is to be the Judge whether the question at issue uib solely within the domestic Jurisdiction of one of the parties Therefore the question whether Californias discriminatory laws against the Japanese was a domestic question or not would be decided not by the United States but by foreigners making up the international council It Js also provided in Article XV that The council may in any case under tis article refer the dispute to the assembly The dispute shall be so referred at the request of either party to the dispute Appeal to the Assembly Japan would therefore be in a position to submit the California question to the greater body of interna tion representatives making up the assembly provided she thought her chances of a favorable decision would be enhanced It is specifically provided in the covenant that the parties to the dispute have no voice either in the decisions of the council or the assembly Thus the United States as wass as Japan would have no means of affecting the league decision and no veto power over anything which the league might propose This would of course mean that under the covenant the United States would have no voice Whatever in the international deci Bion relative to the right of California to make discriminatory laws or reialve to the question as to whether thu Was a domestic issue for ihe Lntted States Believe They Have Strong Case The Japanese claim that they can make out a case in California which would guarantee favorable decision by any tribunal Elaborate statistics have already been compiled cl culaled to show that the charges of increase Japanese population are not well founded and the proposed discriminatory legislation is cnallenged as against the United States Constitution Lnd against President Wilsons own doctrine that only a peace between equals can last Only a peace the very principle of which is equality and a common participation in a common benefit The legislation which the State of California proposes to submit to a popular referendum in the November elections has been summarized es follows Legislation Summarized To prohibit land ownership by the Japanese To prohibit leasing of farm land by Japanese To prohibit the acquisition of real property by American born Japanese minors who are American citizens under the guardianship of their parents To deprive the Japanese parents ftheir natural right to be the guardians of their minor sons or daughters owning real property To tprohibit the Japanese from taking any interest in any company or coroporation owning real property Invoke Constitution The Japanese are ready to claim that the Constitution of the United States makes all American citizens equal and that native born Japanese are American citizens They say that no such discrimination against American citizens can be upheld by the United States government under international law They cite that part of the Declaration of Independence Which says We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator With certain unalienable rights that among these are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness It is further claimed by the Japanese that the Root Takahira gentlemens agreement has been lived up to in good faith by the Japanese government and cannot in justice be abrogated by the United States This agreement provides Root TakahJsa Agreement First Japan of her own accord will refrain from issuing passports to Japanese laorers desiring to enter territories con tigoious to continental United States such as Mexico or Canada Second Japan will recognize the right of the United States to refuse the admission to continental United States oT Japanese or the laboring class whose pass frV3 do not inclnde continental United States Third Japan will Issue pass-ports to continental United States only for Japanese of the following uaaaea Nonlaborers JSe So suchas travellers business Jmen iiuauucis clu iiaiwacisei whether laborers or nonlaborers who have already ecome domiciled In continental United States 4 Japanese who have acquired farming interests in continental United States and who wish to return there to take active control of those interests Say Increase Is Only 10000 According to official American fig ures the increase in the influx of Japanese to Calif ornia since the Roqt Takahlra agreement of 107 has only been about 10000 The following table of Japanese arrivals in and departures from the United Stages have been prepared by the Japanese from American official statistics Year Arri Depart

The increase during the last few years Is explained by the Japanese to be due to the enormous increase of American Japanese trade due to the war to the fact that the war obliged Japanese omovls business men and others to pass through the united States in going to Europe and to the fact that Japarese students who would have gone to urope under normal conditions have come to the United States instead Relative to reports of the great number of Japanese women reported to have come to the United States the figures compiled by the Japanese show that the number never reached more than 4043 in 1918 and was as low as 867 in 1909 The so called pictures brides arriving in the United States in 1919 totaled 668 A picture bride sis a Japanese girl who marries a man in America ifter he sees her picture sen tonv Japan The parents following the usual custom In Japan arrange the marriage and the bride later joins her husband in the TJnitexl States 68082 in California On the question of the total Japanese population in California the Japanese submit the following figures made by the Japanese consulate in San Francisco in September 1918 Men 41842 Women 12232 Boys under 161 7877 Girls under 16 7031 Total 68982 The Japanese births in 1908 were 455 or 16 per cent of the white births according to the Japanese In 1917 there were 4108 Japanese births in California as against 47314 white births or 7 8 per cent Claim Biscbeate No Menace These figures the Japanese are willing to submit to any tribunal as dis proving the contention that theJap anese birth rate constitutes a menace to the whites in California Relative to farming by the Japanese tables have been compiled to show that there is virtually no competition between the American and Japanese farmers in the planting of SALE OF

motorist who hasnt at some time or other in his experience had a tire dealer attempt to sell him a tire by representing it as the fastest seller in town More attempts are probably made to sell tires

mileage for his tires Red Tubes Grey Tubes The experienced motorist of course refuses to surrender his indiyidual judgment to any crowd or mass of whatever size Too often he has seen the results of accepting opinions at their face value without first finding out what they are based on And you will find him going more and mtre to the dealer who has something to offer in support of his tireis other than crowds of buyers and htimbers of sales The opinion in favor of Tires isot based solely on the number of them in use Great as that number is it is due to something besides clever arguments
