Japanese Farmers in Texas Face Harlingen Expulsion
In Harlingen Texas two Japanese settlers arrived with an interpreter and faced local citizens who advised against remaining in the Rio Grande valley. Officials plan to introduce a Texas bill modeled on California law to bar Japanese from farm land purchases, and some residents urged the two families to leave the area. The settlers—T Okuma with family and brother T Okuma with wife—purchased land from Kishie and remain in a Harlingen hotel amid mounting anti-Japanese sentiment.
