The author was of the opinion that the Chinese were not genuine pioneers in railroad construction and agriculture. He argued that the advantages of cheap labor provided by Oriental workers was "far more than out-weighed by the unfair competition the small farmers and rural laborers (were) subjected to, and the fact that these Oriental races (were) unable to assimilate within a reasonable length of time," This is another example of the exclusionist rationale which was dominant in B.C, in the early 20th century.
