SCORES SUPPLIED
WITH TICKETS BY
PROBATION OFFICER
OFFICE IN COUNTY BUILDING
BUILDING WAS CROWDED
THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH
EAGER LITTLE ONES FOR
CHRISTMAS TREE FAvORS.

Dolied up In their very best bib
and tucker, and with eager bright
eyes and expectant countenances,
scores of little ones called at the of
fees of Probation Officer Sam S. Pin
ney, in the county building, yesterday,
and throughout the day almost a con-
slant stream of children were on
hand, awaiting for tickets, which
would entitle them to the expected
privileges of the Christmas tree, which
will be provided this year, and which
may supply as many as three hun
dred with remembrances.
There was slight ~disarrangement
of the probation officers plans, yes
terday. Usually in. the forenoon, Mr..
Pinney has many routine matters of
charitable nature to look after, and
he had understood that the children
were not to be given tickets until the
afternoon, beginning at 8 o'clock.
With this understanding, he was taken
completely by surprise when children
began piling into his offices yesterday
asking for the expected favors.
Mr.. Pinney, however, was a busy
man all day long, and in the after
noon distributed lot of tickets "None
went where they. were MT deserving
either" remarked the probation of
ficer at the conclusion of the days
work.
The announcement was authorized
that ticket distribution will start THU
morning at 8 o'clock, to continue fol
two hours, or until IL o'clock. Thel
again at o'clock, children may call
and the afternoon from that hour un
til o'clock, will be taken up in tn
proper distribution Of tickets. AL
those who contemplate calling TO
tickets, should note the announce,
time for their distribution, such hour
being named at the suggestion an
. with the authority Of Mr.. Pinney him
self.
There appears to have been som
misunderstanding as to where the tire
will be located. This fact came on
when scores Of children began askin
about it during their calls upon tn

PLANS A MONROE
DOCTRINE In EAST
Japan's Policy to Cement
Friendship with China,
Says Iyenaga,
TO FIND STRENGTH
IN COOPERATION
Status in Orient Desired Some
thing Like That in Western
Hemisphere, He Asserts.

Interpreting Japan policy toward
China before the Sunday Evening
Forum Of the Free Synagogue, Dr. l..
Iyenaga, unofficial representative Of the
Toxic government, said last night mat
the desideratum OF the Far Eastern
situation was a strong and wide awake
China. He quoted Count Okuma in
answer 70 the often repeated sugges-
ton that Japan IS .he disturbing factor
in China's progress: The ultimate aim
Of our China policy has been no other
than to awaken her from this morbid
torpor in order 10 insure her future
prosperity and avoid conflict with Eu-
ropean nations"
DR.. Iyenaga said in part:
1.-THE fundamental policy OF Japan
toward China. i; cannot be too strongly
emphasized, is to cement the bond OF
amity and friendship between the two
nations and to stand together as fast
friends. Upon their cooperation, not
antagonsm, upon their strength, not
weakness, depends altogether the
future healthy political development Of
the Far East. Thus and c=.y thus can
come the realization of the status IN
the Far East wherein something like
the Monroe Doctrine might reign
On Japan's attitude toward the Mon
roe Doctrine, DR.. lyenaga said:
"Some say japan pays scant attention
TO the Monroe Doctrine and might even
dare to assail il. | believe not. can
see no reason why Japan should be
slow in paying respect to the wei es-
tablished American doctrine. Japan
has no political interest or ambition IN
South America. She wants only her
people 20 90 there for trade. The Mon
no 70
the question of emigration, which Is, OF
course, the domestic matter Of each
sovereign state of South America.
I What conflicting interests are there,
then. that Japan should object TO the
Monroe Doctrine providing its sway Is
limited TO the Western Hemisphere ana
the Pacific islands already in the pos
session of the United States?"
Characterizing the much heralded
yellow Peril" as the dream child Of
yellow journalism, Dr. Iyenaga con-
tinued:
what we sincerely want 20 see is
the definite formulation Of the Amerl.
can Far Eastern policy, upon which all
concerned may depend and feel safe.
am constrained to confess my inability
TO understand what part the American
people have made up their minds TO
play on the Far Eastern stage. I'M
partial observers cannot fail TO dis
cover r.any inconsistencies and dis
crepancies in Americas dealings with
Japan and China. While America is
loudly crying for the open door in
China, she herself is shutting tight her
own door against Asiatics.
THE Japanese California question,
however" concluded DR.. Iyenaga, "is
no cause for war. The Monroe Doc
trine acts only a. a brake to prevent
clash of interests, not TO bring it,"
