RUT CALIFORNIA '
HAS ITS PROBLEMS

It- Urinific*. Hut Al-o of tin1
Mriiaoe of Japanese Immi
gration.
"How many American children do
you *???? there?"
Congressman A. M. Frt-p of tho
viui.th California CongrPMional Dis
trict asked this question Thursday
night at the I'asquotank County
courthouse when there, was flashed
on the scrren a picture showing a
rural public school in California.
So far as the audience could see.
tlu.re was not one. Every face ap
peared to be that of an oriental-eved
Jap. As a matter oPfact. the Con-j
pressman said. DO per cent of the
children of this particular public
school were Japanese.
"^ ou think you have a race prob
Jem here." said Congressman Free.
*'It Is a simple problem Indeed com
pared to ours.
"Your negroes are lazy and Im
provident. They dislike to work,
and when they have worked they
?|>end their money too quicklv to
make much progress. They are no
match for you In intelligence or wit.
They accept with more or less com
placency the position of an Inferior
race.
"The Japs are not so. They are
a proud race, demanding equality as
theirs of right. They are thrifty.
They work not from sun to sun but
from dawn to dark, and sometimes
do not stop at that. They live In
shacks that a respectabie negro
would scorn, and In these shacks
they give the best quarters to the
"horse and take what's left. Thev live
?m-a-Htle frit, of rln- and tin- coal,
of their living is next to nothing.,
W hen they are laborers their wages
are banked. When thev are farm-1
era their profits are banked. But,
none of their earnings go into the!
banks of California. They are
banked in Japan."
Here the speaker had thrown on 1
a screen a picture showing a number
of Japanese girls. "Such pictures
as these." he said, "are circulated in
the Japanese pool rooms and other
haunts of the young Japs In Califor
nia. A young Jap points one out
and says Til take this one.' Then
there is a ceremony In Japan under
which he is married by proxy to the
girl l^e has never known or seen.
She is put on an Immigrant ship and
Is met at San Francisco by her 'hus
band.' Then she is taken out to a
farm to be put to work and to bear1
?children. The Japs, T think, juuaL
be the most prolific people on earth.
"How would you like to have to
compete witfT a race such as that?
How would you like to send your
children to school with their chil
dren? People from a distance do
not understand the seriousness of
the Japanese question. They look
at the great area of California and
say that Japanese ownership of land
is not of serious enough proportion
to l?e a menace. They foryet how
larse a proportion of California's
area is made up of mountains and
d? verts. The Japs own today one- j
sixth of the irrigated land In the
state and in California irrigated
land is the only cultivated land." J
Congressman Free's frank state
ment of California's race problem
came at tlie end of and marked a
sudden turn In the speaker's lecture.
Vp to the last few minutes of his
talk he had been speaking of the
beauties, tho advantages, the re
sources. and tho achievements of
California. But probably what was
said in the last few minutes explains
why Congressman Free |* touring I
the country with his lectures, trying
to i-'lve to the people of America
some conception of the seriousness
of the Japanese menace from the
Callfornlnn standpoint.
Callfornlan* are not satisfied with
the recent Supreme Court decision
upholding the laws of Oregon and
California aualnst Japanese owner
ship of land, It seems to be ques
tionable whether this decision will <
b< as sweeping as Americans gener
ally had supposed. It Is not a ques- j
tlon of, the validity of the law; and I
it Is not doubted that under the law!
many Japanese will be forced to part
with their holdings. Hut very prob-1
ably large numbers will And a prac-1
tlcal way out. Involving no g-eat(
-acrlflce to themselves and marking ;
i > progress toward getting Callfor
in and Oregon land out of alien!
h.inds. There are many Japanese!
, children. American horn, in the
rt;i'<s affected. These children
c.t" I hardly be subject to the alien
. ! owning prohibition. Their par
i nts may flnd it a simple and prac
ticable matter to transfer land to
Heir children and continue opera
tions as before. Other Japanese
land owners may flnd white men
willing, for sufficient consideration.!
to act as dummies and hold their j
land for them; Just as Japanese!
??? king land In white rommtinjjj??r{
usually flnd white men wlllln*-TosellI
t?) them, regardless to the wishes of
tl.. community.
Evidently Mr. Free and his constl-l
til' is are hoping for more drastic'
r J? ml legislation in retard to alien ?
OWn? r.-Mp of land; and. believing
; that Southern members in Congress
may probably be persuaded to work
with Pacific Coast representatives to
that end. Mr. Free la enlightening
Southern sentiment on California's
race problem.
Congressman Free Thursday night
told his audience that California's
Big Ni?,ht Tonight
For Senior Class
And Lets Of Laushs For
Those Who See "Clarence"
At The High School
Toniuht Is "hi:: ululil" for the:
senior cla?>s of II!iz:?l?? tli City high

tllatinu comedy-drama "Ciartiicv"

Tin* Story, an aiuufinn affair of
fatally quarrels and tangh-d love af
fairs,'-which are eventually made (
straight hv the solemn though hu
morous Clarence. the drlvi-r of
mules, moves alons quickly with
plenty of thrills and laughs to the
j final curtain.
Each part is important and is han-l
died in a capable manner. Dorothy i
Chappell in the part of Mrs. Martyn,
| the private secretary to Mr. Wheel-1
I er, is~very much at home In the
-partv jrlving a realistic- Intejipreta- J
tion.
Jack Jennette as Mr. Wheeler, the i
worried business man who between
his children and his wife is on the
j verge of distraction, is very pood.
Margaret Hollowell takes the part
of Mrs. Wheeler, the young step
mother, who feels very sorry for
herself, and before very long makes
I one sorry for her too.
Thomas Riddick and Nell Jones, i
, who take the parts of the refractory |
children, transport one to the heart j
! of any American home, they are-so
completely natural.
Rachel Williams is the feminine |
star, playing opposite Clarence. Mlssi
| Williams bandies the part with
[smoothness and skill.
Mary Dozler and James Hill, the
j two domestics of the Wheeler house
Ihold, furnish -a great deal of the1
| comedy. The parts fell into very]
1 capable hands and frrr umutnirs
| could scarcely be Improved upon.
Walter Pearson In the part of j
'Herbert Stem has the part of the
sleek villian and does himself credit.
Irvln Midcett Is the star In the
t part of Clarence and does some real
acting. Poor Clarence has a hard
time and deserves the sympathy of
the entire audience, for the way of 1
the peacemaker Is always a hard lot
and even mules are easier to drive
than the Wrheeler family.
' The play is good, the actlnc is
? good, the only thing needed is . a
! packed auditorium. The time is 8
o'clock sharp.

Ruanda ha* conic Into Its own again.
The story reveals how the machinery!
of the League of Nations often turns
to-mete out Justice to almost forgot
ten peoples. Hut .Jluanda does not I
think -It -has - - -out of the
thought of the world, for It believes
in Its greatness and the bigness of
its destiny as one of the states of
Kust Africa. j
When the "Rig Four" sitting at J
Parts sliced up the map of Europe'
and fashioned new states out of big, j
old ones. they did a little ribbon
work with African colonies. One re-,
suit was to place the native commun
ity of Urundl and the "Kingdom of
Ruanda" under the mandate of Hel
glu.iii. Formerly they formed a part'
ofGerman East Africa. Hut It was]
arranged that tlie northeastern part
of Huanda should pass under Hrltish ;
mandate, because England wanted to;
construct a railroad connecting North!
and South Africa.
Later is transpired It would have!
been quite possible to build this line !
without cutting up Huanda. Com-|
plaint*began to hnHrecelved hy the*
permanent mandate commission of
the league. With his kingdom cut
in twain, the proud native ruler
cried out that tils prestige was
crumbling . Families owning pasture
lands on both sides of the new fron-j
tier complained they were unable
freely to jyiss from one trrltory Into
the other. Cattle thieving became
, the vogue. Internal conflicts arose, j
land Huanda threatened to be red
with blood. French and Swiss mis
! slonaries warned the mandate people
I that conditions were dangerous.
I The mandate commission brought
!the matter to the council of the
league. ;ind the whob> affair was
submitted to the Hrltish and Helgian
governments. These governments
(were induced to open direct 110 go-1
tiations. and the result was an agree-|
ment rectifying the frontier and re- |
constituting In its entirely the king-,
dom of Duanda is now rejoicing, and ;
civil war has been avoided through- !
