Conspiracy IN Washington.

TOXIC, Junt (Afternoon): The
council of the progreSsiyes at Il meeting

Pacific coast Of the United States, espe-

assault upon Japanese trading places
last month constituting a most fragrant
violation OF the rights guaranteed by the
treaty concluded upon an equal footing
between the two nations
These anti-Japanese acts are not of
temporary nature, and the federal gov
eminent at Washington must be held re-
sponsible for its failure to prevent such
outrageS
Government Is Criticised.
THE attitude of our government to-
wards that in Washington has so far
been unsatisfactory to the nation, and it
IS necessary that proper steps should be
taken by our government in order to
maintain the national dignity and per-
manently ensure the safety of the rights
