The following table shows the number of children born to these white women and these Japanese women, together with percentages of births in each race: On this basis, the fecundity of the Japanese is nearly three times that of the whites. If it were possible to select, for more accurate comparison, those white married women who were of a social, economic, and intellectual status similar to that of the Japanese, the disparity in birth rates would undoubtedly be less marked. There are approximately three times as many Japanese men as there are Japanese women in California. Considering the high birth rate, under present conditions, what would it be, were there Japanese women in California sufficient for each Japanese man to establish a household? There are, therefore, 45,457 men to 15,211 women, or about 3 to 1. LAND. The pages immediately following show: (1) Total land area of California. Classification of these lands.
