Nation Faces Japanese Labor Threat in California Speech
Julius Kahn, U S congressman from San Francisco, told the Middlesex Club in Boston that California fears the Japanese laborer more than the skilled immigrant. He argued the coolie class undercuts wages, competes with white workers, and urges Pacific Coast natives to guard living standards. He warned Boston to imagine Japan supplying cheap goods and workers, provoking white flight from factories and mills, and defended Japanese schooling as adequate.

Relying on battleships and modern coastal defenses is presented as essential to peace, not friendship, in a future of intensified rivalry.
