JAP NEWSPAPERS

Demand Reparation and Explanation
F rom Great Britain.

for their persons and property"
Not less than 1000 people were
engaged in the demonstration and
Be Jap buildings were damaged.
VAN COUVER, B. c., Sept. r.
The report that Japan will demand
reparation and apologies for the
anti-Jap demonstration is received
with Indifference here. The people
identified in the movement say
they will exercise their rights as
British subjects to protect them
selves and their homes, and that
the agitation against the Asiatics
will be famed into Tame rather
than subdued by any threats of re-
prisal.
The assumption that United
States agents are responsible for
the outbreaks is emphatically re-
jected. British Columbians declare
they are able to take care of their
own country without advice or help
from anybody. and that they have
endured unrestricted influx of
cheap Asiatic labor as long as they
can, treaty or no treaty.
The situation here has shown the
Jap trouble in the United States in
new light. 1t is plain that the
Japs would much prefer that the
riot had occurred in the states.
The outburst of four drunken
tealhsters in San Francisco brought
forth drastic comments from Japa-
nese diplomats and almost precipi-
tated war. In the Vancouver riots
thousands of British Columbians
demolished Jap buildings at will,
yet the local Jap officials have not
mentioned war and appear more
sorry than angry.

LONDON, July 4.-The Hague corre-
spondent Of the Tribune says hat the last

mittee a first class funeral will then be
accorded to Mr.. Choste's proposal to abolish
the right of capture.
The only chance OF assimilating the law
OF private property at sea to that on and
was the acceptance OF the Italian COM
promise. which retained the right Of capture
but abandoned the right OF o~onfiscation.
This compromise has been decisively re-
jected. Neither the British nor Ameri-
cans liked it, but the coup de grace was
given by Russia, France and other Powers
which regarded the proposal as giving
unfair advantage to England.
Their argument. which was not unrea-
sonable. was that England alone had ports
in every SEES. where she could store prizes
until the war was over. Other less favored
Powers must either sink the ships they
captured and pay for them or let them go,

them on the declaration of peace,
