Show ANDERSON 4 T: World War I, right after World War I in the '20's. A: Yes, and the sentiment was still so bad that people even in Corinne didn't accept him very well. He went over h.ere and worked for a farmer and he was a good worker and a good man. But because he was Japanese, then they connected him, of course, with all foreigners, some of the older people, and th.at was it. He had a good family. P: What was the sentiment towards any type of foreigner at that time period? Was this the situation that you talked about concerning the Japanese~ Was that typical of the way they felt about anyone that was considered foreign? A: Well, I don't think they resented the Irish coming in here. Anyone that was white. But they did have a resentment against the Chinese and I don't know why. Course they were taking jobs out in San Franscisco, and they were hunting in the mines which they did. Course they had a right to, and they ~igured they weren't citizens; that was another thing against them. And a lot of them took out their citizenship papers later. T: What about here in Corinne? Can. you remember any. of the families that there were, any Japanese families who were farmers here? A: Oh, they were all farmers. This is the only man I remember that worked on the railroad. T: Railroad. Were there quite a few that were farmers here? Quite a few families? A: Yes, there were quite a few families. Maybe fifteen. They came in here in 1913 with the sugar company. T: What about the .•. oh, the sugar company, the sugar company brought them in. A: The sugar company brought them in to labor. |
