A large audience was present
at the Baptist Church Sunday
night to hear Rev. Hubert
Lloyd's lecture on Japan, which
was exceedingly interesting
and instructive. Rev. Lloyd
only recently returned from
that country, where he has
been missionary for the past
five years, and he il perfectly
familiar with conditions as
they exist between Japan and
America. lie says the Japan
csc are much concerned over
the alien law recently enacted
by the state of California, that
they regard it as an insult and
affecting their honor. He be-
lieves that if the Japanese
treasury was not in such n de-
pleted condition it would be
hard to keep down II war with
them. While he is in full
sympathy with America, Mr..
Lloyd thinks the japanese have
been badly treated in Californ-
in, where conditions have been
greatly exaggerated.
