A CLCW IC FOUND TO THC
JAPANESE "0?CN DOOR'
"Underground System" Extends Over
Pacific Mexican Guards Bribed
to Admit Orientals.
Tacoma, Wash. Definite location
of tho "underground system" on tho
i Pacific coast "by which thousands of
' Japanese are smuggled Into the Unit
ed States yearly' was announced
here by Congressman Albert Johnson,
' chairman of tho house subcommittee)
on immigration and naturalization,
. which roassombled here to investigate
1 Japaneso nctlvltios in the northwest.
"Until we came to the northwest
we had only an Indefinite idea of tho
operations by which Japanese are
brought surreptitously Into the United
States," said Chairman Johnson. "Now
we have tho key, so to speak; wo have
found that the Japanese underground
systom begins at Yokohama. From
thence it leads to Honolulu and ex
tends on across the Pacific to Guaya-
mas, ou the Gulf of California.
"Here, either by water or across
the border, the Japanese invaders aro
smuggled into tho United States. A
perfect system of escort has been
established which take care ot, the
details of tho smuggling. Mexican
guards aro known to have been bribed
with $10 at the United States-Mexican
border. The same careful system ol
escort has been established both at
Yokohama and Honolulu.
"Once tho Japaneso Is smuggled
Into California he is taken in tow by
some members of theJapanese as
sociation, branches of which are in
Oregon and Washington. He is taken
to the bank and his credit established
by substantial deposit.
"Then ho goes out into tho vino
yards or into tho agricultural districts
and hides for flvo yearsi At the ex
piration of this time ho can como out
of seclusion. If he is questioned by
tho government authorities as to hit
rosldence here he can quickly estab
lish this by taking tho authorities
where five years beforo ho made his
first deposit. This establishes his
bona fldo residence of five years as
required by statute."
"Tho Japanese associations in the
various cities make no tecord for
government observation of any ol
theBc unlawful entries Into tho coun
try," Congressman Johnson continued.
"We have not been able to find one
secretary, of a Japanese association
who can furnish us with any informa
tion as to how various members of
his association came into this coun
try. As 'a matter of fact, wo are posi
tive that theso associations in Wash
ington, Oregon and California are aid
Ing in tho surreptitious system of
Japaneso entry Into tho United States.
"Wo havo found the records con
fusing as to the number of Japanoso
in tho United States. As a matter of
fact, It would be impossible for the
United States to tako a correct census
of the Japaneso population because
tho consus takers could not locato all
tho Japanese hore.
"Theso Japaneso associations pro
tect tholr countrymen who aro smug
gled in, and wo know It to bo a fact.
The United States authorities aro
perfectly cognizant of the route of
this underground systom of unlawful
transportation and will take some ac
tion at onco."
