REPORT OF THE HONORABLE ROLAND S. MORRIS ON JAPANESE IMMIGRATION AND THE ALLEGED DISCRIMINATORY LEGISLATION AGAINST JAPANESE RESIDENTS IN THE UNITED STATES.
Washington, Government Printing Office, 1921, Later xerograph copy. , Perfectbound xerox copy of the original confidential government report. pp iii, 292, 8 x 13.5 inches. Bit of wear to edges of cover sheet, else clean and unworn. A xerox reprint by Jerrold G. Stanhoff (Rare Oriental Book Company), of a scarce government document marked "Confidential" on front cover sheet. Roland S. Morris was the US ambassador to Japan. His report was the result of an "informal discussion" with the Japanese ambassador, Baron Shidehara, regarding a movement supported by the government of California to enact sweeping laws to deny or remove the legal rights of Japanese and other Asian residents. This document constitutes a virtual legal history of Japanese residency in the US; about 200 pages ("R.S.M. Exhibit B.")are devoted to the "Correspondence and other data relating (1) to Immigration, (2) to the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation of 1911, (3) to the Alien Land Laws of California an other Alleged Discriminatory Legislation.".
