Prof. Sakuyei Takahashi Of the Uni
versity of Toxic may thank his stars
that he was not arrested on suspicion
of being a japanese spy. He had the
audacity to deliver an address in jap
anese in Burbank hall. The japanese
audience laughed in a high, wasplike
key at his subtle jokes. Doesn't this
jnterloper from mikado land know that
il is a violation of the spirit Of the con-
stitution of the United States to jest
in foreign tongues? Viewing the pro-
ceedings from beginning to end, we
feel bound to remark that there was
much in evidence that was reprehen-
sibly suspicious. Our friend, Larry
MacFIoull of the United States secret
service, attempted to secure verbatim
report of the apparently infiammatory
grafton, but without success. Although
this vigilant officer has prepared HIM
self for Japanese emergency duty by a
long course Of study of tea chests and
fans he was obliged to admit that the
Nippon vernacular, when he encoun-
terez it face to face, was too many for
him. MacHoull understands japanese
only when it is spoken with an Irish
American accent, and he thinks that
Japanese orators who cannot conform
TO this pronunciation should not be
allowed to talk in public.

British manufactured articles are made
