JAPANESE IN AMERICA ARE
 DECRE EASIN G

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26. - That Japanese in the United States are de- creasing in numbers and that the de- sire of those who are here Is to be- come Americanized and not to Jap anize America was an assertion made yesterday before National Education al Association in an address by K. S. hui. corresponding secretary of the Japan Society Of America. He also declared that there is coming to be better understanding of Japanese by Americans. and that the difficult ties that arose before Japan. through "gentleman's agreement, prohibits the emigration of her laboring class es. have all practically disappeared.
 The speaker declared:
 Since the Gentlemen's Agreement went into effect in 1907. Japan virtu- ally prohibits her own labo emi- grants to America and so there has been decrease in the number of Japanese in this country. The Jap anese question therefore. is not the immigration question-not what to with those who are coming. but rath- CT what to do with those who are al- ready and legally here. One may say that 1t is political. another may state that it is economic. and third may suggest that 1t is racial. but we believe 1t is a question of education. We believe that there is no question that cannot be solved with wise edu- cation and with the right attitude of heart. We believe it is. in a large measure, a matter of assimilation of Americanism of the Japanese"
 Concluding. he said;
 What we say today is. we are do- ing our best to become as good Amer jeans as possible. We want your CO., operation and sympathy. you who are the greatest machinery for the Amer icanization of aliens. IT there is any one not interested in this question we ask you not to make 1t any hard CT or place any more obstacles in the way of Japanese becoming American ized in this country"

AMERICAN CREDIT
 IS GREAT CONCEN
 IN GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON, Aug. 26.-A strong ef- fort is being made in important fi- nancial circles to have the British government issue a large amount of short-term high rate bonds to be plac- ed in America to relieve the exchange situation. George Clare, head of London Stock Exchange house, es- inmates that the sales of American securities by English holders have been at the rate of $2O.OOO,000 week ly for some time and have already aggregated S5OO.OOO,OOO. He says: "The best course now calls for the issue Of a foreign loan, principally in New York, at rate to be attrac- tive to the American bankers. Prob ably per cent two year bonds, free from income tax. would appeal very strongly to the big American invest ing concerns. It would be the first time on record that Great Britain had placed loan in foreign country and this may raise the question of dignity"
