Secretary Knox in his report said that
the rumors regarding u japanese pur-
chase evidently arose from an American
syndicate's efforts to dispose OF lands
near Magdalena bay to Japanese syndi-
cate. An effort was made to ascertain
the attitude Of the American government

syndicate felt that japanese capitalists

not give lis approval unless assured the

The rule voices a protest against

Repeal suggests backward step NOR

Many will avoid harmful things be-
cause the church directs.
Repeal would be interpreted with great
publicity as indicating a moral declen-
