Japan also must insist that Hawaii be made neutral zone The inde pendence of the Philippines and the neutrality of Hawaii are not questions which are important for their own sake. but Japan must contrive for their realization as a means to give effect to America's principle of safe guarding the independence and rights of small nations, and also as the first step in the direction of enforcing the open door principle in regard to i'm migration.
 "Japan's efforts to carry this great principle at the peace conference may pave the way for establishment of q great international ideal, even though her efforts are not crowned with i'm mediate success. Moreover, her claims will be received with universal sym pathy and support by the Asiatic peoples, and thus the foundation will be laid for Japans assumption of the leadership of Asia"

JAPAN MAY
 TALK AT THE
 PEACE TABLE

TOKYO Oct. 16.-Japan's chief goal
 at the peace conference should be, to
 obtain an open door for immigration to Australia. India, Canada and the United States. writes E. Uyehara,
 member of parliament. in Japan and the Japanese a popular fortnightly
 magazine of Tokio. Uyehara was n member of the parliamentary commis- sion which visited America early this year.
 Tn England. the League of Nations
 theory is finding strong support" Uye-
 hara writes. "A league cannot be
 realized when Britain, which possesses
 so much of the earth. adopts an sex- elusive policy in her own territory. Should all the natural resources in
 British possessions be monopolized permanently by their own nationals,
 it would be inevitable that the non British nations would pursue a mili-
 taristiC aggressive policy against her.
 America is fighting to safeguard
 the independence and rights of the small nations. it claims. This must mean that the small nations are to be given the right to develop their own destinics without molestation or in 1 guarantee the independence and the
 rights of small nations for strong powers to monopoiZe the benefits ac- Cruing from their vast natural re. sources.
 Again. the policy of confning q large number of people within their own territory of limited dimensions, such as Japan. does not tend to assist the civilization of the world, nor is such q policy calculated to bring about
 the peace of the world
 Tt is clear in these circumstances that Japan's advocacy of the open door principle will meet with no dissent
 from Britain or America, even though
 1t may be recognized that the immed- fate enforcement of this principle is
 attended with many difficulties
 While claiming the open door in territories bordering the Pacific, Japan ought to insist that America grant in dependence to the Philippines Amer ica's suspicious of Japan have been the obstacle to her granting this in. dependence, and therefore Japan's ex- pression of readiness to guarantee the | |.

 Dollar Has Gone

PARIS, Oct. 1-(by mail )-The vast and varied activities of the American Red Cross in relieving suffering in the war zone IS outlined in the latest report of the civil affairs department of the organization.
 During the month of June the de- partment rendered aid to 412 ,563 civil ians, exclusive of the work among allied soldiers. Of this huge army, 226,63S were refugees from the war stricken regions. In the early days of the German offensive thousands of refugees passed through Paris daily. most of them practically destitute and suffering from exposure and hardships of the hurried flight. American Red Cross emergency committees met them at the stations and supplied aid. A large percentage of the refugees so assisted were children.
 The supplies distributed by all the bureaus during the month include 296,7l0 garments. 56.647 pairs of shoes, 17,222 articles of furniture, 60,07S ar ticles of bedding and household linen, 66S,672 pounds of food, S5,570 yards of cloth, and 4,2S7 articles of hospital equipment and supplies.

There was an understanding that

felt that the emergency had arisen
and IN so far as those who were over
eighteen were concerned, those who
had already received six months

they should be sent to France.
There is another matter to which
should like to refer, and it is the
suggestion that our forces have been
dissipated on subsidiary enterprise.
Not single division was sent from
France to the. East. With regard to

that there are battalions of French
