She said there Is "misappre hension of the intent of the memorial," pointing out that It urges exclusion of Japanese from the west coast only "for the duration of the present war with Japan." Mrs. Poole's namo appeared on th,o memorial with those of Rep resentatives Bull and Irwin, She received a letter from Rev. David F. Barnett Jr., secretary of the Klamath Ministerial asso ciation, stating: ' VThe association went on rec ord as regretting you had found it necessary to bo tho co-author of tho Japanese exclusion bill. This action was passed by a sub stantial majority of the March 5 body of tho association." ' Mrs. Poole also received a wire from Mrs. A. H. Dcnlson. secretary of the Council of Church Women of Klamath Falls, asking the legislature to delay action on the matter of banning Japanese from tho west coast. Mrs. Poolo, In a letter to Rev. Barnett, said: "The memorial of which I am co-author is simply asking that the Japanese be not sent back to their former residences, par ticularly on the west coast, un til after the war is ended. The reason we feel this should be done is because there Is so much hate and prejudlco against the Japanese now we feel this de lay may give time for tho peo ple of the United States to use more justice and fair play In final disposition of the problem. Personally, I have in mind not only the welfare of the Japa nese people, but of those mem bers of the white race who are now resenting them so bitterly . . . It seems only reasonable that the time asked for in this memorial will allow us to use better and cooler Judgment in this question; my cntlro thought and hope is that we may bo hu mane but not sentimental in our treatment of them (the Jap anese"). In comment to the Herald and News, Mrs. Poole added: "Nearly every day thcro are articles in the coast papers showing the trend toward high feeling now existing; we think that If the Japanese question could remain In status quo until the war Is ended it may prevent the Imprisonment and possibly the loss of lives of somo hot blooded white men, also."
