JAP AN |S TO
 RENEW ALIEN
 LANDLAWF FIGHT
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Japan's purpose to renew at the end of the
 European war her contention for the right of her people to emigrate to and own land in the United States,
 suggested in New York yesterday by Baron Yoshiro Sakatani. former finance minister in the Tokio cabi- net. was frankly admitted today at the Japanese embassy. Negotiations over these questions. which came to T deadlock two years ago, are not regarded by Japan as concluded, it was explained but merely postponed while the larger issues of the war are being dealt with.
 The deadlock followed long series of conferences between former | Secretary Bryan and Baron Chinda, 1 then Japanese minister, and an eX change of notes between the two governments over the alien land leg islation enacted by California. After | the state department had pointed out that under it's constitution the United | States government could do no more l than seek 10 prevent such legislation and that persons affected by it had | recourse to the federal courts, Japan closed the exchanges with note say ing her complaint had not been an- swered, ana reserving flor the pres ent further discussion of the issue" It mas been generally assumed that the issue would be held in abeyance
 only while Japan has occupied

 in a position to speak with authority

 NEW YORK Sept. 27.-That the open door in China is for the best interests of Japan, just as a peaceful Mexico with thriving trade is to the interest of the United States. was the declaration of pr.

AGAIN WINNERS IN
BASKET BALL CAME

The last game scheduled for the
Ontario High School Boys Basket
Ball team with out of town teams
was pulled off last Friday evening
at weIser between the Welser team
and the Ontario School. and resulted
as usual In a complete victory for
the local boys, the score being 20 to
l25.
The record established this year
In basket ball will go down In the
history of our High School as the
ideal expression of the real athletic
ability OF the boys who participated
In this sport
The basket ball team has had the
rare honor OF going through the en-
tire season of playing without n sim
gle defeat marked up against them.
They have met such teams as Nyssa,
welser and Payette, the latter. Il is
reported, claiming tho championship
OF South Idaho. Only once has the
losing team questioned the superior"
ity of Ontario's players and then the
local team played them another game,
In which the complaining squad were
glad TO admit their fairgotten defeat.
In all the games played there has new
or been a complaint against the fair
playing OF our team. This In itself
is victory not TO be underestimated,
and with a windup game such as the
one played at Welser last Friday,
the Ontario High Schol may we'll
feel proud of the Basket Ball team,
OF this last Weiser game much has
been said in regard TO the fight put
up by Weiser and how II was won.
but suffice II to say here that In the
last half the Weiser boys started
TO gain on their opponents and kept
up their gaining till the score stood
23 to 23. Al this junoture the To-
cal team began TO display the using
OF stored-up energy so characteris-
tic of them in all the close games
pulled on this season, The last two
minutes of playing both teams mani
tested their supreme effort TO win,
They were pitted against each other
equal in weight, equal in strength
and only in skill and team work did
the Ontario team get the lead on
their opponents Naturally these
two minutes were a little rough but
the audience realized that they were
enjoying one of the best examples of
basket ball ever given at Weiser and
at the close of the final score the
great hall rang with the yells OF sew
eral hundred rooters.
The Ontario Girls were again de-
feated at the hands of the Weiser
girls by a score of 13 to 20. This
also was a good game,
