Excerpt from The Japanese Problem in California: Answers (by Representative Americans) To QuestionnaireMany of the letters impressed me as being of great value in shedding light on the situation. In a subsequent letter of appreciation, I re quested the writers to give me permission to print the whole or a part of their letters so that not only the members of the committee but others interested in this important problem might learn the opinions of representative Americans. I asked each writer to drop me a line if there were any objections to my so doing.In reply a few writers declined to consent to the publication of their letters on one ground or another, a large majority willingly complied, while others remained silent, from which I understood that they had acquiesced.A report in Japanese containing anonymous extracts from several of the letters was published soon after my return' to Tokyo. But the publication of the answers to the questionnaire has been delayed for reasons that I need not mention here. More recent considerations, especially after another visit to the Pacific Coast last summer, 1922, led me to change my mind. I need not mention that the very problems discussed in those answers still exist as they did two years ago, although the situation has changed remarkably within the last couple of years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
