Accompanied by a party of noted
Y. M. G. A. and religious workers, DR.
John r. Mott, who is regarded by
many as being the most distinguished
Christian leader in the world today
arrived in Honolulu this morning on
the Tenyo Maru. Mr.. Mott is complet-
ing tour of the world and is now on
his way to attend the great Edin-
burgh convention which convenes in
June. The visitors were met at the
wharf by a delegation of local bust
ness men, ministers and religious
workers, and following brief con-
ference at the Young Mems Christian
Association, Dr. Mott delivered ad-
dresses at Oahu College, the makai
pavilion of the Young Hotel, and at
the Commercial Club at noon.
When asked this morning as to his
opinion regarding the situation in ia
pan brought about by the California
alien land holding bill, Mr.. Mott chose
to speak but briefly upon the subject.
Government circles and the higher
classes of people in japan, he said,
are showing a most friendly spirit and
are ayerSe to trouble with the United
States. During his stay in Toxic, mass
meetings were held composed for the
most part of irresponsible people who
demanded the most extreme methods
OF retaliation by Japan. During the
gatherings the singing of war soltgs
aroused the feelings of many of the
lower classes who were present. The
outlines of plans for the seizure by
Japan of the Philippines and Hawaii
which appeared in the Japanese pa
l1ers, were submitted by anonymous
writer's, who, az the same time, de-
nounced tEt japanese government for
its submissive attitude. 1t is said that
the changed conditions in japan make
it impossible for the government to
restrain the newspapers and the lower
classes. . ~ .@...
