Baron Gonzuke Hayashi. Japanese
minister to China, today informed the
Chinese forei gn office that Viscount
Kikujiro Ishii, head Of the Japanese
mission in the United States, and Sec
rotary of State Lansing signed an
agreement November by which the
United States recognizes Japan's spec

Japan and the United States reaffifm
the "open door" policy in China.
For a long time the question Of the
open door for trade with China and
Japan's claims to special interests in
that country have been sources OF
great diplomatic activity between the
United States and other powers and
Japan. =
Since the Russo-Japanese war, ia

FALL W. FEAST OR FAST
ON THANKSGIVING DAY
| To the Editor Of The Robesonian:

To the Editor Of The Robesonian:
The suggestion is being made in
several quarters that Thanksgiving
day this year be in the nature Of a
fast; and supplication rather than a
fe: st and thanksgiving. It is also
beng suggested that we forego the
usual turkey dinner.
That a day Of fasting and entreaty
for the Divine favor may be appropri-
ate is not to be denied. But why turn
the annual Thanksgiving day into
--5ch an occasion? Would it not seem
10 declare that we do not any longer
consider ourselves as having cause
for gratitude to God? Is it not fact
; that we have more than usual for
which to praise the Lords goodness?
The Psalmist said, II will praise the
Lord at all times. Most of the time
he was at war, yet he praised the
| Lord, who taught his fingers to
fight" Let US keep the day in the
usual good old way, with the excep-
ton of righteousness, which has al
ways been inappropriate. Our Presi-
! dent may proclaim some other day
as a fast day if he considers it wise
and appropriate.
And why not have the turkey din
ner IAN we SenQ Lne turkeys TO
France? They must be eaten in
America-why not. on Thanksgiving
| Day? Mr.. Hoover says go slow on
beef and pork and eat fish and poul-
try. A turkey is poultry, therefore
i can be eaten in the interest of food
conservation. AS a matter of fact
the turkeys eaten on Thanksgiving
and Christmas will save thousands Of
pounds of beef and pork. In many
| a family a big turkey will take the
!. place of all other meats for several
days. Of course there should be nc
excessive eating. The greatest dan.
ger to food conservation on Thanks.

The dispatch from Berlin quoting
the leader of the Centrist party as
declaring that Germany has "quietly
crossed the political Rubicon and in
the space of days changed from an
autocracy into a democracy" no doubt
needs to be taken with a large allow
ance of salt. Any political change
in Germany short of certainty that a

make much difference to the outside
