peace with Japan and that the
peaceful relations now existing
between the two nations cannot
be interrupted by a few hot-head-
ed partizans In one or two states.
1t is claimed by many who are in
a position to know oriental con-
ditions that Russia is again pre-
pairing for war with Japan and
would welcome trouble between
the Island empire and any other
country as that would give the
Russian bear an opportunity to
seize desired territory while
Japan was engaged in war with
another nation. While there is
much to be considered from both
sides and the people of California
probably have a grievance and
are justified in trying to prevent
grown Japanese men and women
from attending the common
schools and mingling with the
little white children it is not at
all likely that the peaceful rela-
tions between the two countries
will be married.
