In view of the recent telegranis regarding the position of Japanese and other Urientals in Cali-{fornia, a report by the State Board' of Control, issued at Sacramento a few' weeks ago, possesses a considerable importance. Almost every phase of the subject is discussed exhaustively.
Population figures gathered from authentic sources brought the Board to the conclusion that between 1910 \and the close of 1919 the Japanese increased 111 per cent. in California; the Hindu population 33.5 per and the whites only 8.2 per The report states that the Japanese Association of America completed a census of the Japanese population in California in March, 1920, which established the figure of 78,628. To this should be added, the report says, the 5,000 American born Japanese now temporarily in Japan, thus making a total of 83,628 by the Japanese census, as compared with §7,279 as given from the Federal Immigration reports.
