Excerpt from Arguments Against the California Alien Land Law: And the Committee Memorial to Congress 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 view point 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 state ment 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 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.
