And they were compelled to respond to encores at every performances yesterday.
 The Kidlets, pretty little girl and sweet faced little boy fairly had the audience in ecstacies of delight with their performance yesterday. With the artistrysef grown upyperfor- rners they delivered refined comedy, sang songs and executed graceful dances.

sl- ALIFORNIA'S anti Asiatic ag-
 itation is but one symptom of an OMINOUS WORLD SITUATION. Recent decades have brought east and west into closest contact. Races and civilization, for ages self sufficient, proud, anbi- hous, determined, are now face to face.
 The fundamental postnlate of California's anti-Asiatic policy is correct. WE CANNOT TOLER- ATE A SWAMPING IMMIGRA- TON, overturning OUT democratic institutions or bringing. economic ruin to Concession laborers or farm CTS. But in seeking to carry out. her policy California has erred, for she seeks to settle an international. matter in the light of local inter ests. Her anti-alien bill was need less, huniliating to Japan and shortsighted.
