JAPAN NOT TO JOIN
 LEAGUE, IS PLANNED
Baron MakinO Declares Opposition Because of Alleged Discrimination.
 "T0O Proud to Accept"

Paris, April 2.-No Asiatic nation could be happy in Neague of Nations in which sharp racial discrimination is maintained, Baron Makino, head of the Japanese delegation to the peace conference, declared today.
 We are not too proud to fight, the baron said, "but we are too proud to accept a place of admitted infer iority in dealing with one or more as- sociate nations. We want nothing but simple justice.''
 He said Japan would be glad to join a League of Nations to maintain peace and order.
 Japan does not wish, he said, to force her laborers .s immigrants on any associate countries and recognizes that this question is one for each na- tion to deal with itself
 Japan feels that it is entitled to frank and open admlss.on by the allies that the principle of equity and justice is a. fundamental tenet of tht League of Nations, the baron continued Japan see difficulties in the way of a perma- nent and successful operation of the league, the baron said, unless the con- tracting parties enter it with mutual respect.
