He says there la only one Japanese student attending the fchool set aside for Orientals. He said he found sentiment In the ktatc very strong ugalnst Japanese young men attending the primary grades. Mr. Metcalf thinks this ob joction Is reasonable. All the political parties of California had inserted Jap anese and Korean exclusion planks In their platforms and the state legisla- I lure passed a resolution urging that Japanese laborers be not admitted to the United States. The press of San Francisco generally upholds the action of the board of edu- catlon. The more violent papers re gard the Japanese as no better than the Chinese. The conservative papers contend that the public schools of Cali fornia are a state and not a Federal institution, and the boards of educa tion have a right to say who shall bo admitted to them. • Feeling it Intensified. The feeling against the Japanese is Intensified by reason of the fact that American lnborers and shop-keepers are being crowded out of business In Hawaii. He says many of the fore most educators of California nre op posed to the action of the board of ed ucation. Japanese are admitted totho University of California and welcomed nt Stanford University. Teachers speak in high terms of Japanese school children. The San Francisco board of educa tion refused to rescind Its order ex cluding Japanese children ffom the public schools and a boycott was main tained from October 3 to October 25 by mem hers of the cooks’ and waiters* union against Japanese restaurant.*, tabor leaders, however, disclaimed knowledge of any formal action of the unions against the Japs. Pickets posted in the neighborhood of Jap restaurants distributed match boxes bearing this inscription: “White men and women: Patronize your own race.” It was generally known that labor men were opposed to their fellow workmen patronizing Jap restaurants. Stones Were Thrown. While the boycott was maintained, nones were thrown, windows broken and, In one or two instances, proprie tors of restaurants were struck by those stones. Mr. Metcalf interviewed some of the Japanese restaurant keep- rs who told him the police seemed to be In league with the demonstators, as they would make no arrests. When certain policemen came on the beat the boycotters fled. One of the boycot- ters told a Japanese that the boycott was to be kept up till the Japs gave up their business, packed their goods and returned whence they came. The Japanese got together and rais ed $350 to pay the boycotters to call the boycott off. One Jap testified that $100 of this sum was paid to a man, whom Mr. Metcalf was told, was W. 8. Stevenson. The boycott ceased, but the remain Jng $250 remained unpaid, no one call ing for it. Mr. Metcalf says henvas assured by the chief of police that the restau rants would be protected. Officers were detailed for duty at the restaurants and no further trouble was experienced. Boys and Men Guilty. [ am satisfied,” says Mr. Metcalf, "from Inquiries made by me and from statements made to me by the Japan ese restaurant keepers, that the throw ing of stones and breaking of windows was not done by the men picketing the restaurants, but by young men and boys who had gathered in front of the restaurants os soon as the boycott as Instituted." Assaults have from time to time been mdde on Japanese subjects, and policemen In plain clothes were as signed to duty to prevent such at tacks. This action followed a protest from the Japanese consul. Most of these attacks were made by boys and young men and were most vicious. Only one seemed for the pur pose of robbery. Among those assault ed were Dr. F. Omori. of the Impe rial University of Toklo, one of the world’s most distinguished scientists, and Professor T. Nakamura, professor of architecture in the Imperial Uni versity of Toklo. Both were stoned by young toughs and hoodlums. Neither wanted to make formal complaint of these assaults. Raoial Hostility Is Causa. Mr. Metcalf thinks all assaults on the Japanese were the result of racial hostility. Of 290 cases of assault oc curring in San Francisco between May 5 and November 5, only seven were against Japanese, and they were charged with disturbing the peace. Concluding, Mr. Metcalf says: “I Impressed very strongly upon the acting mayor of the city, as also upon the chief of police, the gravity of the situation, and told them that, as offi cers charged with the enforcement of thq law and the protection of prop- Speclnl to The Georgian.

I also In formed them that if the local author ities were not able to cope with the situation, or if they were negligent or derelict In the performance of their duty, then the entire power of the fed eral government within the limits of the constitution would be used, and used promptly and vigorously, to en force observance of treaties, which, under the constitution, are the su preme law of the land, nnd to secure fit nnd proper treatment for the poo- ple of a great and friendly power while within the territory of the Unit ed Htates. "If, therefore, the police power of San Francisco Is not sufficient to meet the situation and guard and protect Japanese residents in Ban Francisco, to whom under our treaty with Japan we guarantee perfect protection for their persons and property, then, It seems to me, It is clearly the duty of the federal government to afford such protection."
