Japan Would Retain
The Caroline Islands
Associated Press

TOXIC, April 2-Publc opinion in
Japan is not entirely unanimous on
the question whether Japan shall re-
tain possession of the Marshall and
Caroline Islands which she took from
Germany and now holds. The Osaka
MAlN1CHI sets forth the attitude of
many Japanese thinkers in an article
IN which that newspaper insists that
the islands shall be retained The
MAIN1CHI declares that, if Ameri-
ca was allowed to seize and fortify
Hawaii and thus to greatly threaten
Japan; if she was permitted to oc-
cupy Guam and the Philippines, max
ing them not only source Of wealth
to herself but also a great menace
to japan, China and the British and
Dutch possessions; if Australia and
Ne wZealand have similar control ov-
er New Guinea and Samoa; it is GER
tain that Japan shall possess the
Marshall and Caroline islands, exer-
cising the same right and rule over
them.
''And in so DOING" the paper as
serts, Japan will be only acting the
part of small watch dog faithfully
protecting its own house, in a very
American wolf whose wolfish ambi-
tion is indeed to be feared. If Japan.
is not to be allowed to fortify the
islands she took from Germany and
which Of right belongs to her, then
the defenses of Gibralter, the Suez
Canal and other points should be
razed.
Racial discriminatory treatment in
Oh T.
ed and these islands not be left to
white mans domination
, The opposite view was expressed
by Yukio Ozaki, former Minister of
Justice, in an address delivered in
Toxic a few days ago in which he
said:
'*It is, indeed, a great honor for
Japan to occupy the position Of
stockholder in that great internation-
al corporation, the League of Nations.
The honor is far greater than Japan
will obtain by the possession of the
Marshall and Caroline islands"

Miiler's Antiseptic Oil, Known as
SN AXE OIL

has perhaps relieved more sufferers
than any other known remedy in the
same length of time. Three million
bottles sold under an absolute guar
antee to give satisfaction or money
refunded and less than dozen bot
ties returned. Many have testified
that they have suffered with rheuma-
tism and lumbago until they had been
forced to give up their work because
they could not use their limbs. Some
VINO could not even raise their arms
above their heads have been relieved
and are now praising this wonderful,
oil that other saf f1e1efs may be Oe.
efltted. No wonder this great o..
treatment has sprung into such trem-
endous popularity in SO brief time
and is SO much praised today by thou
sands throughout the country. For
rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lumbago,
stiff and aching joints or any kind OF
an ache or pain it is said to be with
out an equal. For Sore Throat, Ton
silitls and for cuts and burns it has
been found most effective. This won
deIful new oil remedy that is pro-
ducing such remarkable results
throughout the country is now fol-
sale by all leading druggists. Accept
no substitute, for there is nothing like
It. See that it's Miller's. Every bot
tie guaranteed or money refunded
30c, 60c and $1.00. At leading drug.
