Then this item part appearing in the last named
e. TadskO Of the s,ama Prefecture Of
i.ss night Mr. okaaa said he
spas r ~e months m .ns n California visiting Japanese
Comment is of course unnecessary but how ord
nary citizen resist?
Item number one is only important in disclosing that
Japan has about much faith in the efficacy Of the league
Of nations say Senator Reed of Missouri Her newly
routed of Imperialism is not to be thwarted by any
n item number two we have from the apostle of Nip
po an indirect acknowledgement of the purposes of Japan
Is carving on her peaceful penetration Of other countries
In other words Mr. Hill earnestly recommends policy of
ehs-s-hng and diplomatic pussyfootng away from the
japanese question this coast in order to avoid collision
With the ambitions Of that country And yet how sadly
Inconsistent the tered preachment OF this gentleman ON
this question. Ii he is correct to what will happen II The
Star and other mediums continue to protest

Pacific coast then criminal TO permit the present
penetraton continue to point where in the event OF
American territory would already be half Jap in its
makeup, like the Hawaiian islands.
Item three throws somewhat muddled spotlight the

States"
Item number four says less and than all the
other three combined. Think of it!
jap colonization parts the Pacific coast already
nearly fact that the visitation of high official of the
Japanese government to the colonies passes matter of
o in this country by acquescence of this
et it clearly is the duty of the Japanese to
rive comfort and aid to the members thereof and to keep
81 touch with their needs and aspirations.
No doubt this visit is the first of many official
visits of like Presently, doubt the dignatary
Who visits the Japanese colonies in this country will be
oompanied by administrative suite who will undertake to
the interests of the mother country as all well
regulated colonies supposed to be represented And
pick the group of prominent citizens and ministers who
viii be the dock to welcome them.
For none blind as those who will not see."
