and one of the city's civic bodies took
advantage of the chance to secure
them for this special appearance.
It is quite likely that a full house
will greet this interesting company Of
talented artists.

WAR TALK DENOUNCED As RE-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO
EM5ARRAss GOVERNMENT.
LOUD IN PRAISE FOR NILSSON
One Speaker Declares That Future
Generations of californIans VIII
Laugh at Their orandfathers for At
tltude Toward Foreigners.

Toxic, May 18.-Faith in the Ameri-
can people to see that justice Is done
the Japanese is the dominating note
in the discussion of the California
alien land ownership legislation
War talk is denounced as ridiculous
and only calculated to embarrass the
two governments, which are laboring
for a peaceful settlement by diplom-
acy.
1t is conceded, however, that failure
on the part of the Americans to re-
spond to the Japanese appeal for q
discontinuance of the alleged discrfm-
ination would be liable to lead to some
estrangement of the peoples. The
Japanese public generally is convinced
that the land bill is a racial, and not
an economic measure, and hence
blow to national pride and the people
feel that the world must be taught the
necessity of equal treatment for the
whites and nonwhites.
The Tokyo newspapers are loud in
their praise of President Wilson's zeal
, in his endeavors to preserve the ira
, ditional frinedship and they recognize
) the difficulties which confront the
, President of the United States In TIE
, confusing conflict between states and
Federal rights.
The Nichi Nichi is Of the opinion
that the question as to whether the
Washington government can procure
for the Japanese equal rights depends
upon the strength of Japanese di'
/, plomacy aud urges the government te
, take a firm attitude.
A joint celebration of the Japanes'
and American peace societies todal
was attended by 1000 Japanese
E. Speeches were made by Count Okums
et former minister of foreign affairs
Baron Yoshiro Sakatani, mayor @
lie Tokyo, and Tsunejiro, who was couE
IN cillor Of the Japanese embassy q
le Washington In 1906. All the speaker
'y endeavored to clarity the situation an
s. decried jingoism.
Count Okuma was loudly applaude
when he compared the attitude Of Il
;E California Legislators with the ant
foreign movement in Japan half ce
an tury ago, which he looked upon as Q
bis abased race prejudice.
en- 1--WE despised the foreigners"
he said, because they looked differer

Inc of everything western. The sar

Ills ton, but, like the Japanese, the Ca

position and truth and justice y

fathers for driving on the Japan'
