| American workers and their chauvinism |
|
This is “an exceptional law of the worst kind” (410)—“a policy even worse than the Prussian policy towards the Poles” (412). The American workers, too, are guilty of chauvinism (N.B.) (412). “The gentlemen of the American Federation of Labour not only want to deprive the ‘yellows’ of all rights, but want to drive them out of the country altogether” (411). |

| N.B. |
|
This exceptional law “is proof that the population of California, and above all its working class, are doing yeoman’s service for the American imperial- ists, who for years have been pre- paring for a war against Japan. The Socialist Party, too, has been found wanting in this matter” (411). |
Workers back imperialists.... |

| Socialist Party too!!! |
This law is “only a link in a long chain of laws” (412)....
