Book Description
Excerpt from Arguments Against the California Alien Land Law: And the Committee Memorial to Congress During the California campaign of 1920, on the anti-Japanese initiative, the opponents of that measure were denied publicity by the press of the State. The initiative was of such a character as required discussion. It deprived Japanese and Chinese of the most important of the primitive rights of humanity, by denying to parents of those races the right to be guardians of their own children, and turning their young over to the guardianship of the Public Administrator. In a Christian community, such a departure from the law of nature and the principles of the Christian religion should have been freely and widely discussed by the press, but it was not. The proponents of the initiative, given the free use of the publicity facilities of the press, used it to promote the impression that the measure would effect the exclusion of Oriental immigration. To the end of fostering this false impression, the press bristled with defamation of the Japanese. From every angle they were attacked by the most appalling slanders and falsehoods. Under these circumstances, the conscience of the State sought expression and found it in the organization of The American Committee of Justice. That committee stated the case from every angle and viewpoint in advertisements which it published in the papers of every county in the State. These advertisements are the literature of the campaign. The persecutors of the Japanese have not ventured to deny any statement made in them. Their truth stands unchallenged and undisputed as the righteous statement of the case. To preserve this literature and perpetuate this statement of facts, in order that enlightenment of public opinion may be promoted, these advertisements are published in this booklet. Let the reader remember that they are the cry of the conscience of California, the expression of its sense of justice, and that they were supported by the votes of 222,086 citizens of the State, who smote the infamous initiative with their ballots. The Committee sends this message of Truth to the people of the United States, for the healing of a public opinion that has been poisoned by falsehood and hate. The public expressions of independent bodies of citizens are included, with a translation from the Japanese New World, newspaper. Following the appendices is the Memorial to Congress by the Committee, with the names of the members. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
