Mr.. BRYAN WOULD LINK
WHITE AND YELLOW FOLK
Thinks the Pacific Should Not Be a
Barrier Between the
Races.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-william
Jennings Bryan discussed The Idea of
Neighborless' before the combined ses-
sions of the Asiatic Institute and the
American Historical Association in con-
vention at the Panama Pacific expo
sition yesterday. He said the Pacific
should be connecting link and not a
barrier between the white and the yell
low races.
This thought I want you to take
away with YOU" Mr.. Bryan said. THE
United States must remain the friend
of these countries: and 1 believe this
feeling is reciprocated fully by the
peoples of the Pacific.
God forbid that we should condemn
the jingoes of Japan until we get rid
of the jingoes of our own country.
Those who are warning us against
Japan are doing SO because they do
not understand. but that ignorance
should not be allowed to continue.

Gavin Harris gave to the Patriarch a
