Klamath Rcprcsontutive Rose
M, Poole mndo public today an
exchange of lotters with the
Klamath Ministerial association
concerning the association's ob
jection to her joint sponsorship
of tho so-called "Jupaneso ex
clusion memorial" in the legisla
ture. 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."
