Descrição:

May 5 The US has put a limit on Japanese immigration, and Japanese in the United States are excluded from acquiring citizenship. Two days ago California passed a law restricting Japanese immigrants from owning land. Today California's governor, Hiram Johnson says "We have prevented the Japanese from driving the root of their civilization deep into Californian soil."
