'Humiliation our people suffered in 1924'
"As long as one Japanese is left alive, the Americans will never set foot here. Especially after the humiliation our people suffered in 1924."This is a reference to the U.S. Immigration Act of 1924, which completely barred any immigration from Japan or other Asian countries.
See both https://history.state.gov/milestones/1899-1913/japanese-relations and https://history.state.gov/milestones/1921-1936/immigration-act for historical background, and for the 1924 act as one of the contributing causes for the 1941 Japanese attack on the U.S.
