Americas Attitude Is Attacked

Before House of Lords


Toxic. February 2s.-In the house
of peers today.ga member presented
an Interpolation regarding the ,e1sns
and the period Of enforcement of the
gentlemen's agreement" concluded
in 1907, between Japan and the Unit
ed States and asked whether the said
agreement is intended to be kept in
force forever. He stated that he had
heard that the regulation Of emigra-
ton was enforced more strictly by
the Japanese authorities than by the
Americans. He wanted to know the
reason why japanese are being SUBJ
jected to such regulations while the
Mexican and Filipinos are freely. ad-
mitted to America.
) NJ. Shidehara, vice minister of for
eisn affairs. replied that the so-called
gentlemen's agreement.'' did not exist.
There was a voluntary declaration
made by Japan for regulating the in
hux OF japanese to America. 1t means
that no japanese may emigrate but
that those who are already in Ameri-
ca are free to call their families from
Japan.
The imperial government is bound
to live up to its declaration. he said.
Many time anti-Japanese laws are
understood to have been brought be-
fore American Legislatures, but Owing
to and in appreciation of Japan-s e.-
forts. all such anti-Japanese measures
have failed to pass. The said dec
laration win be kept in force for some
time yet; it may be abolished when
the Japanese immigrants convince the
American authorities that their pres

MILL MEN SEE
GOOD FUTURE
F0RPENSACOLA
An Early Boom in the Lumber
Industry and Ports Busi-
ness Is Prophecied By
Sawmill Men

A prophecy of tremendous boost
for the lumber trade in Pensacola and
other port cities as soon as the ar
ticles of peace are signed, statement
OF the inability Aof saw mills to solve
at present, the labor shortage prob
lem, announcement that there would
, be no cut in the price Of lumber and
no freight rate reduction, and the de-
sire to support the workman's compen-
sation act-these were outstanding
features of the one day convention Of
40 members of the Georgia Florida
Saw Mill Association, held in Pensa :
cola yesterday.
There is a big lumber shortage in
Europe as well as in America, officials
stated. but the United States has the
facility for immediate upbuilding,
which the war-torn countries of the
old world lack. Her mills will be tax
ed to capacity to supply the export
trade. it was pointed out. Lumbermen
of this section will at once get busy
to meet the demand.
Laboring men who helped to turn
the wheels of the lumber industry went
out Of the south. some to enlist and
others to northern fields and they have
not returned. OF those who remain
sc per cent only are efficient, saw mill
managers said. They see no relief in
sight.
The War Industries Board recently
asked President Graves and other
southern lumbermen to cut the price
of their product in order to stimulate
trade. The reply was, it was pointed
out yesterday, that 80 per cent is pro-
duced at loss and that high wages
ubaid make this impossible" The lum-
'ber industry is one of the largest en-
ployers of labor. the second in tonnage
and the third I'm comparative value.
High wages paid were given as a
reason for the inability TO reduce the
freight rate and the fact cited that the
lumber and coal industries total SO
per cent of the entire tonnage of the
United States.
Committees to represent the asso-
citation at the Florida and Alabama
legislatures, two of the seven states
only which do not have a law. were
appointed to represent the body when
discussion on the workmen's compen-
sation act comes up. For Florida
