Chapter 807 The Japanese Exclusionism in the United States!
Chapter 807: Anti-Japaneseism in the United States!
After finally getting the fire up, Coolidge suddenly felt proud. This seemed to be more worthy of a sense of accomplishment than anything praiseworthy he had done during his tenure as President of the United States!
"Before my visit to China, our police were planning a strike." Coolidge wiped his sweat and suddenly said: "I hope this strike will not go ahead. If we can successfully quell the strike like I started this fire, then
I will also be very proud."
Wang Hengyue was opening three eggs and putting them into a bowl to mix thoroughly. He stopped what he was doing when he heard these words: "The police strike will seriously threaten public safety. In my country, strikes are allowed, but police strikes are not allowed."
Absolutely prohibited. In my opinion, there is absolutely no right to strike under the premise of endangering public safety, regardless of anyone, anywhere, and at any time!”
"There is absolutely no right to strike without endangering public safety, no matter who, anywhere, or at any time!" Coolidge repeated these words, his eyes flashing with light.
"The impact of the police strike is too bad..." Wang Hengyue stirred the eggs a few times. Suddenly he remembered that he forgot to add the seasoning. He quickly took a spoon and absentmindedly put a spoonful of salt into the eggs, and then continued to stir: "
The responsibility of the police is to maintain public order. Once they go on strike, thieves and gangsters will appear on the streets unscrupulously. If a police officer cannot even do his minimum duty, then what qualifications do they have to demand their rights?"
Coolidge kept nodding his head, Wang Hengyue's words had been firmly imprinted in his mind...
"If I take your words to the United States and tell them to the police who are preparing to go on strike, will you transfer these words?" Coolidge asked.
Wang Hengyue smiled: "You can switch to it anytime and anywhere. I just heard that you never like to express too many opinions in public?"
Coolidge threw a piece of firewood into the stove: "I think the American people want a serious donkey as president, and I'm just following the people's will..."
Wang Hengyue laughed loudly. At this moment, he actually heard this classic quote from Coolidge, and there was nothing more interesting than this.
His laughter was so loud that the women outside heard it, and they were extremely curious. It was just a scrambled egg. Is it that interesting?
In the kitchen, Wang Hengyue laughed so hard that his stomach ached, and he managed to stop his smile: "The American people hope to have a serious donkey as president, but I don't think my country can do it yet. To really reach this point, my country still has to do it."
It requires at least thirty years of hard work... What makes me feel even more uncomfortable is that I must sit in this position and not make any mistakes, otherwise it will be a crime against the country. Sometimes, I
I will also ask myself, who am I? Why am I sitting here? Why am I pursuing all this tirelessly?"
When he said this, his expression gradually became serious, and Coolidge's expression also became serious as he listened.
Who am I? Why am I here? What am I pursuing? Coolidge is also constantly thinking in his mind...
"I thought of something that happened before I was about to take office as the interim president of the United States..." Coolidge suddenly said: "After President Warren G. Harding died of illness, I was sworn in as president the next day. But I didn't
I immediately moved into the White House, but continued to stay at the Willard Hotel not far from the White House. Late one night, a thief sneaked into my room through the window. He rummaged through his pockets, found a money clip, and started to untie it.
The pocket watch on the clothes. At this moment, a calm voice came from the darkness, "Please don't take my pocket watch away." That's what I said. I noticed it from the first moment the thief came in.
.....
The sudden sound startled the thief. He was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Why?" I told him it was not because of how much the watch was worth, but that it was of great significance to me. Then I said
He said to the thief, "Take the watch to the window and see what words are engraved on the back cover." The thief went to the window, looked carefully through the light outside the window, and gave it to Calvin, the President of the Senate.
Mr. Coolidge - Massachusetts Superior Court. The thief was stunned, "Are you really President Coolidge?" "Yes, I am Coolidge. I beg you, don't take away my beloved pocket watch." After a pause,
I asked again: 'Child, why would you do such a thing?' The young man explained that he and his friends came to Washington for a trip because of the school holidays, but all the money they brought was spent. The young man said to me: '
If you don't mind, I'll just take this wallet.' I said he didn't mind. I did the math for him, and the room fee plus two train tickets cost a total of 32 US dollars. I said to the young man: 'I want to
, these 32 US dollars can be regarded as loaned to you. In the future, if it is convenient for you, you can return it to me!'
The young man happily agreed. At this time, I gave the young man a piece of advice: 'Child, I know you are a good person, but your behavior today is very bad. In the future, you must remember: who you are!' Later,
The kid kept our agreement and really returned the $32, not a penny less."
Wang Hengyue calmly listened to Coolidge's story and fell into deep thought.
Always remember: who you are!
Who am I? The President of the Republic of China, a person who shoulders the destiny of this country and this nation!
Wang Hengyue sometimes complains that there are always so many things to deal with every day, and there are always so many headaches every day. Sometimes he gets angry and even wants to quit...
And this is a normal reaction of a normal person...
However, as the president, no matter how troublesome or complaining, he cannot stop himself. Just like what he just said to Coolidge, anything he does wrong is a crime against this country!
Putting the oil down in the pot, Coolidge asked when the oil was hot: "Recently, Japan has made protests one after another, and sent missions to secretly lobby some members of Congress, asking the United States to negotiate and impose sanctions on China's 'invasion' of Taiwan and North Korea. Some members of Congress accepted it.
Due to the lobbying of the Japanese mission..."
"There will always be people who are persuaded. Not every American is friendly to China." Wang Hengyue sneered, but he didn't particularly care: "I am also drafting a list of sanctions against Japan, economic, military,
All-round political sanctions. At the same time, our Supreme Court has made the best judgment on civil claims against Japan. The Japanese government should compensate the Northeast people for the losses caused during the Japanese occupation of Northeast China, as well as 290 million for mental injuries.
Hua Yuan... Not only that, prosecutions by Taiwanese people and North Korean people are also in progress at the same time..."
Coolidge frowned slightly: "The Japanese government will not accept such a verdict..."
When the oil was hot, Wang Hengyue poured down the eggs and started frying them clumsily: "So I decided to use the property confiscated by the Japanese in the Northeast as compensation. The Japanese side will definitely protest again. At this point, I hope that the United States
They can give us the greatest support!”
"I will work hard to convince members of Congress." Coolidge stood up and stood next to Wang Hengyue and watched him scramble eggs: "The United States also needs China's support. The anti-Japanese movement in the United States is currently very active.
....."
Wang Hengyue smiled unknownly.
It is exactly the same as the development track of history. This is why I can so firmly support private claims against Japan and firmly believe that the U.S. government will be on my side.
The immigration issue was one of the most important issues affecting Japan-US relations from the end of the 19th century to the 1920s. The "Japanese immigration issue" directly caused by the anti-Japanese movement caused huge repercussions among the governments and people of Japan and the United States. The two countries had
There have been long-term negotiations around immigration issues.
The Anti-Japanese Movement began in 1883 and was a continuation of the Anti-Chinese Movement. After the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, Japanese immigrants gradually became the target of rejection by people in the western United States.
In 1924, the anti-Japanese movement in the United States would reach its peak, and some even predicted that it would trigger a war between the United States and Japan!
According to the "gentleman's agreement" between the United States and Japan, the Japanese government can issue passports to the parents, spouses and children of Japanese immigrants in the United States, and the United States allows these individuals to enter the country. Therefore, many male immigrants choose the so-called photo bride method, and Japanese female immigrants
Use this to enter the United States. This
This method of matchmaking does not conflict with traditional Japanese customs.
Based on the independent restrictions of the "Gentlemen's Agreement", the number of Japanese immigrants entering the United States has been decreasing. However, if you include the children of Japanese born in the United States, the number of Japanese immigrants has increased greatly, increasing by about 70% in ten years.
Therefore, xenophobes accused the Japanese of not abiding by the "gentleman's agreement" and launched a movement centered in California to demand a complete ban on Japanese immigration. They especially criticized the Japanese method of "photo marriage" and believed that the Japanese relied on their immoral
, inhumane marriage methods entered the United States, leading to an increase in the number of Japanese in the United States!
California xenophobes are worried that the proportion of Japanese immigrants will be the highest in California. They believe that the root cause of the increase in the number of Japanese babies is the "photo marriage" method, inciting nationalist sentiments and advocating that the "photo marriage" method is a slave custom that ignores women's human rights.
Demanding a ban. On September 29, 1919, xenophobes in California established the Anti-Japanese Association. The central issue was the "photo marriage" method of Japanese immigrants. To this end, the Japanese consul in San Francisco suggested to the government:
"There is an immediate need to ban photo-marriage women from traveling to the United States".
On November 18, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Hanihara Tadashi summoned U.S. Ambassador Morris, saying that the Japanese government would take measures to ban "photo brides" from traveling to the United States. On December 8, 1919, Japanese Ambassador to the United States Kijuro Shitahara told U.S. Secretary of State Lansing
expressed the same meaning.
Banning "photo brides" from entering the United States gave xenophobes no basis to attack Japanese immigrants, and then they made prohibiting Japanese immigrants from obtaining land their next goal!
