press reports would have one believe.
There IS a constant cry that the senate

Our confidence in the fairness and
Justice Of the real American people will
remain unshaxen through a stronger test
than the action OF few men who do not
really represent the sentiment OF the pub

we believe that the true sentiment Of the

1.-The real danger Of such utterances as
those contained in the Nevada resolution
and similar ones made by persons who
entirely misunderstood japan, lies in the
effect they may have on the ignorant
people OF both japan and America The
intelligence OF both countries should be
exercised to muEzle the ignorant and vi
