安井益男から片岡喜親への手紙の現代日本語訳、 1921年4月9日

安井益男から片岡よしちかへの1921年4月9日付けの手紙の現代日本語訳。この手紙の中で益男は、オレゴン州議会での土地排除法案の提出について述べている。法案が下院を賛成多数で通過したが上院を通過しなかった唯一の理由は、上院議員が日米交渉期間中に法案を一時延期するよう指示されたからだと述べている。益男は、立法府が近い将来反日法を可決してしまうのではないかという懸念を表明し、そのような排日法が近隣のカリフォルニア州やワシントン州ですでに存在しているという事実に注意を喚起した。彼は最後に、最後まで懸命に闘う決意を述べ、アメリカ人はどうしてこの国を公正で人道的な国家と呼べるのだろうかと疑問を投げかけた。その他の話題としては、共通の知人の近況、果樹園経営の難しさ、反日感情の高まりへの懸念などが書かれている。

Yasui, Masuo

English translation selection of a letter from Masuo Yasui to Yoshichika Kataoka, 9 April 1921

English translation selection of a letter from Masuo Yasui to Yoshichika Kataoka, dated 9 April 1921. In the letter Masuo discusses the introduction of a land exclusion bill in the Oregon State Legislature. He describes how the bill passed the House of Representatives by a large majority and the only reason it did not pass the Senate was that senators were instructed to temporarily postpone the bill during the period of negotiations between the US and Japan. Masuo expresses his concern that the legislature will pass an anti-Japanese law in the near future, drawing attention to the fact that such exclusionary laws already exist in the neighboring states of California and Washington. He concludes by saying that he is determined to fight hard and to the end and questions how Americans can call the country a just and humane nation. Additional topics on pages not translated include updates on mutual acquaintances, the difficulties of the orchard business, and fear of growing anti-Japanese sentiment.
