letter from C. C. Wright, Superin-

food stulfs have doubled in price,
This is already generally admitted.
The public will gladly pay these

as much left, after the necessities
of life have been provided, as they
used to have.

OHIO VALLEY HISTORICAL
ASSOCIATION

The meeting of the Ohio Valley
Historical Association was held in
Berea, as planned, October 10th, TO
18th. Although the attendance was
not large, nearly every State in
cluded in the Association was rep
resented by two or more members.
The program as published in The

KEEP COMMUNITY BUILDINGS

One result Of neighborhood and
community activity during the war
has been the increasing desire in
many regions TO make this work
permanent. To this end certain
neighborhoods are preparing TO ac-
quire buildings originally erected
for other purposes and transform
them into community cenlcrs. Other
towns which have temporarily
maintained headquarters for sol
diers camping in their vicinity pro-
pose 10 make these headquarters
permanent and broaden the scope Of
their service to the benefit of all.
An interesting feature of the move
ment is the construction of commu-
nifty houses as memorials TO the sol
dicrs who died i'm the Great War.
Many of the community buildings
are designed for the use of farmers

ton reaching the United States

above statement IS aeen in what the
Americans have done in the United
States itself and outside Of it, even in
Japan itself, since the days Of the
California school question. They
have done just two things: They have
ostracized and blocked tho Japanese
at every point; they have prosecuted
them.
LET US review a few things which
the American has done against the
Japanese in the United States itself:
american treatment Of the Japanese
has been discriminatory first and last.
When the Japanese protested and
when their demands were shown to be
lair and proper the Americans held on
to their hostile course without show
ing the slightest sign of modifying
their attitude.
Americans do not accord the Japa-
nese the same treatment accorded to
the other white foreigners. They do
not give the Japanese immigrants
the rights which are accorded to the
white immigrants. Americans have
promised In solemn treaty to treat
the Japanese as we'll as any other
stranger from any other country what
ever. But they do not fulfil their
treaty obligations. Nor Is that all
The Americans in California have de-
prlved our people Of the right they
Rad enjoyed in the past. Through this
means the Americans are ATTAINING
their desired object of driving tho
Japanese out by making the condi
tons unbearable for our people. In
stances OF this tactic are cropping out
ell over the state, year after year.
THE American Congress Is about To
consider new and more rigorous and
torbidding immigration measure. It
Is aimed against the Japanese; It's end
IS to drive the japanese root md
branch from the United States. The
State Legislature Of California has on.
posed Japanese ownership of land: not
only that, but also it has IMPOSED
limitations and restrictions upon the
Japanese there, which are equivalents
to taking away from them the right
OF leasing land. It's attempts to pro-
moie the marriage of the so-called
