In the curent number of the Outlook
- w . fc. WV.WM MiVIkCli, 1 11
part follows:
"There are certain elementary prin
ciples all of which should be kept in
view if a nation wishes to act Justly,
both by itself aaid others. It must
insist upon what is necessary for Its
own healthy life, this even at the cost
of a possible dash, but this inistente
upon what is due itself should always
be accompanied by all -possible court
esy to and. fair dealing with others.
These are the principles uiKn which
the people of the United States should
act, with regards to the ju-6tion .of
Immigration of Japanese into this
country. The Japanese are a highly
civilized peojde, . of extraordinary
military, artistic and industrial de-
- velopmt"nt, . They are proud, warlike
and 'sensitive,', I believe our people
have, what I personally certain r
have a profound and hearty admira
tion for theui. liut this admiration
and respect is accompanied .by ., the
Arm 'conviction that it isn't to the ad
vantage of either people that emi
grants from either - country should
settle in a mass in the other country.
. Japan would certainly object to in
coming masses of American farmers,
laborers and small traders. Indeed,
the Japanese would object to this, at
leaet as strongly as th9 men of the
Pacific coast fend Rocky mountains
object to thfa ineoiniug mass of Japan
se workmen, agriculturists, laborers
and men engaged in smull trades.
.The Japanese certainly object to
Americans acquiring land in Japan, at
least as much as Americans in the
far western states object to Japanese
acquiring land on our soil. Ameri
cans who go to Japan, and Japanese
who conie to America should be of the
came general class, that is,, they
should be .travelers. - students, teach
ers., scientific investigators, men en-,
gaged in international business, and
men, sojourning lna land for pleasure
.or study. It is against the interests
f both nations that such 'unrestricted
emigration or settlement in mass
houjd be allowed aa regards to either
nation. This is the cardinal fact, in
the situation.; end It should be re
cognized by -boti ; countries. But' in
1'hjjying this policy we. should bear :
tteadily in mind it is our duty to m
line maximum efficiently with mlni-
' nftim offensiveness. Ohiy a national
government can carry out ' such a
, policy effectively and the surest way
to do harm is for state, municipal or
other local governments to pass laws
which would be ineffective to obtain
the real object, yet would produce in
tense irritation.
The best of , all way in which to
achieve this object Js that which the
governments of the two countries
nave now by common agreement
adopted; for the Japanese government
, has of its own initiative and own ac
rord undertaken to prevent the com
ing hither of any aapcrciable number
of Japanese of the classes to which
. I referred.'.--"';
The success of the policy must be,
gauged by actual results, that Is. by
the extent to which it arrests the im
migration of large bodies of Japanese.
If tn Japanese government proves
unable to carry Its policy through,
then undoubtely this" govemifi?Dt by
treaty or legislation must prtect itself
and secure the desired result on Its
own initiative but in such cate it
should be doubly incumbent upon us
to take action that would provoke
the ieaat possible friction and cause
the leaat possible bard feeling.
interpreted by well meaning but short
sighted men as being a threat toward
other nations or as being provocative
of war. Of the two assumptions the
first is utterly unwarranted,.' the sec
ond is the direct reverse of the truth.
We have the right to say. for in
stance, what immigrants shall come
to our shores but we are powerless
to enforce this right against any, na
tion "that chooses to disregard our
wishes unless we continue to build
and maintain a first class fighting
navy, We Americans are ourselves
proud, and high spirited and we are
not always by any means farsighted.
If our honors or interest were men
aced by a foreign power this nation
would fight wholly without regard to
whether or not its Own was efficient.
In the event of a crisis arising peace
advocates object to our building up a
navy would be absolutely powerless
to prevent this country from going to
war. A strong navy is the surest
guarantee of peace that America can
have and . the cheapest Insurance
against war that Uncle Sam can possi
bly buy. ' ,
