One morning when Little Bear

near farmhouse again. said
Mother Bear. so think we should
get some eggs

That does not NATTER said
Mother Bear gently Tonight when
We build our campfire we must
have eggs to roast for supper, and
how can we have eggs unless We
get them at that farmhouse"
Father Bear made no answer. but
pushed the raft against the bank
and tied it to the willows with a
rope of grapevine.

er Bear, jump off and bring me
many long, slim leaves of the cat
tails growing over there and | will
weave two baskets, one for the
eggs, and one to hold wild straw
berries for the farmers wife.
Little Bear FASTENED to obey.
When he returned with his arms
full of cat-tails he said, Mother
Bear, please let us have the eggs
for dinner, and let us have them
scrambled. Father Bear and | like
scrambled eggs better" And Little
Bear winked at Father Bear and
Father Bear winked back.
I'VE shall not camp at noon so
near a farmhouse" answered Moth
er Bear. and the eggs shall be
roasted. Now run along after some
long grasses for me To weave into
the baskets with the cat-tails. "
Little Bear ebeyed his mother,
but he neither danced nor sang as
he gathered the grasses.
Noon is the time TO. dinner"
he told "A big green frog, and
want scrambled eggs at noon"
'kerplunk !" said the frog.
Mother Bear made two pretty
green baskets One" She said, we
will fill TO the brim with wild
Strawberries and leave it for the
farmers wife instead OF money She
will find it in a nest when she
goes to gather the eggs
I'm pick the berries said Lit
tie Bear, and III go with you to
find hens nest that has eggs i'll
it to scramble"
You will stay with your father
while | go for the eggs" answer
ed his mother.
SO after Little Bear had filled
one green basket with delicious
wild strawberries, he stayed with
his father while Mother Bear went
for eggs.
Noon is the time for dinner"
Little Bear said in grumbling tones,
and | like eggs scrambled best"
Son Bear" answered Father
Bear sternly, Mother Bear is al
ways right"
Mother Bear soon came back and
when Little Rear saw fine eopc in
her green basket he was so pleased
he forgot to be cross because Moth
er Bear would not have them scram
bled.
And now we must be off for a

JAPAN'S "OPEN-DOOR"
POLICY SATISFIES U. s.
Viscount Ishii's Declaration Re-
garded as Evidence of Desire
for Cooperation
WASHINGTON. Oct.

The Japanese declaration for the open
door" in China and for far-eastern Mon
roe Doctrine" was regarded here today as
new evidence of Japans desire to co-oper-
alto with the United States.
Stripped of the suspicion which Viscount
Ishi asked the United States to avoid his
statement was held sincere and satisfactory
on its face.
Taken in the light of recent developments,
however, IL offered possibility that japan
warns that she does not desire even such
Interference as the United States used re-
Gently in expressing desire for a stable gov
ernment in China.
lshi. while inviting commercial enterprise
of other nations in China through the as
sured open door" avoided any reference
to political interest there by other than the
Japanese. This fact squares with a recent
statement of DIR. r. Iyenaga, director of the
East and West News sBurea., who, discuss
ing the forthcoming Ishii commission. de-
clared that while it would be "impolitic" for
Japan to close China's door. Japan would
resent an attempt at extending the political
influence of the United States in China"
He emphasized that this attitude did not
mean a wish to curtail privileges of COM
mercial and industrial expansion" sought by
the United States I'm China
Inasmuch as the United States has no
aims of aggrandizement in China. the Ishii
declaration can be taken as not creating
any difficult situation for this Government
Perhaps, indeed, the declaration may be the
| outcome of an understanding reached be-
tween Ishii's mission and Secretary of State
Lansing at their recent conferences.
Chinese diplomats looked on the Ishii
declaration with caution. Some believed
| Ishi was making n bid for further con-
| cessions from the United States in letting
| the United Stltes know that Japan wanted
! absolutely no outside political influence in
| China, though it would not object to com.
| mercial enterprises.
The Ishii announcement caused surprise be.
| cause Ishii had carefully avoided making
| any open statements while in Washington
! and especially since the Japan conference
| had shown all signs of lodging interna,
| tionll questions until after the war.
