Excerpt from The Japanese Crisis
Influential California citizens have urged me to prepare these pages, on the ground that opportunities imply an obligation.
The personal experience to which they allude includes a residence of five years among the Japanese (1892-1897), in the educational service of the Imperial government, studying the language and learning something of oriental history and outlook; a citizenship of seven years in California (1908 to the present), with attendance - as a visitor - on two sessions of the legislature, including that which passed the Alien Land Law; and a prolonged familiarity with race problems as they exist in the South, resulting in an appreciation of their difficulty and a suspicion of offhand solutions.
