has as Its members former Secretary of

Low Report Issued.
The report was made public last night
by Seth Low, president of the fedora
tion, who declares that the intended
investigation is to be In the nature OF a
national inventory of social assets and
liabilities The object Is to find out what
progress has been made in the past few
decades along the lines pointed out:
where progress has been retarded, what
has caused it. and how best to remove
the barrier.
1t Is no secret that the Civic Fedora
ton was influenced to this action by the
recent labor disturbapces caused by the
growing vote Of the Socialist party.
AT the last Presidential election" says
the report, nearly one million votes
were cast in favor of an economic pro-
gram calling for a revolutionary trans
formation OF society. The party support
ing this program proposes the abolition
of our present system of wages and
private property and the substitution
therefor of government ownership and
operation of all the instruments of pro-
duction. distribution and exchange.
Radical Proposal Made.
Recently an element within the revo- |
lutionary movement referred to has con-
fronted this country with a yet more |
radical proposal. This element avowedIy |
aims at the communistic operation of |
industries which are to be confscated |
the general strike and then di- |
rectly operated by the workers them
selves
Does either OF these programs point |
the way to Progress? There seems no !
room for question that it is both desir- !
able and possible. by thorough and /
impartial searching out OF the facts, to /
measure broadly the gains and the /
losses Of our changing time.

The scenery Of the tropical city makes Il
very beautiful setting for the story. The
plot hinges upon a conspiracy To blow mp

.REJO|NOER OF JAPAN
IS HANDED TO BRYAN

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Japan's re
ioindcr to the reply Of the United States
to her protest against the Californa
anti-alien land law. delivered by Am
bassador Chnda to Secretary Bryan
sets out why the Toxic government
continues to regard the Webb law as
discriminatory against Japan: in derO-
cation of the equality of treatment pre-
scribed by international law and a vio-
latiOn Of the treaty Of 1911.
Nothing in the nature Of an ulti-
matum is contained in the note. Its
general tone is to invite further dis
cussion Of the contrOverted points and
il contains nothing tending to make
up final issue. Secretary Bryan and
the ambassador agreed that no details
should be made public.
The Japanese note was very long and
its nature entirely argumentaIive. Sec
Rotary Bryan and Ambassador Chinda
were in accord that no good purpose
could be served at this time by a
public discussion of the delicate queS-
tlon and therefore both officials gave
notice that any attempt to publish what
might purport to he even the substance
OF the three communications which
now have passed between the two gov
ernmcniS must be based entirely upon
speculation. 1t is known. however,
that the whole tone of the reiOinder
is that of dignifiGd and orderly pre-
SentatiOn of Iapan'S view of the case.
