According to my father, who grew up in LA in the 30s and 40s, this picture was taken near the corner of 3rd and Spring in downtown Los Angeles. Eagleson's Big and Tall was at that corner. In the background is the 3rd street tunnel so the woman is walking east on third street.

Also according to my father, in the 40s in left-wing circles "immigrants" in this context meant Japanese, both native-born and immigrants, because the word "Japanese" was never said out loud except by racists/nativists. His parents were CPUSA in LA at this time, so he heard them talking about it a lot.
