WANT TO CORRECT
DUAL CITIZENSHIP
BY Associated Fress


Honolulu, T. H.. November ia
movement loking to the abolition of
the dual citizenship of Hawaiian born
Japanese has been launched at an Ha-
waiian civic convention. on the island of
Maui. Resolutions were adopted as
serting that there are in Hawaii a
large number of children who, under
the laws of the United States are
American citizens and under the laws
of the empire of Japan, are potentially
citizens of Japan. The convention de-
clared there is room in this territory
for men and women who are either
citizens of Japan or the United States,
but no place for those who are citizens
of both Countries
The convention recommended to the
commission of the Hawaiian govern
ment, which is going to Washington
this winter that 1t take up with the
proper authorities in Washington the
problem of dual citizenship in Hawaii,
ITO the end that through treaty or
otherwise arrangements be made
whereby American born Japanese shall,
on arriving at a certain age. declare
their allegiance either to the United
States or Japan. and that such declara-
tions be honored by the government of
Japan"

ARE
OPPOSED TO PEACE

London. November 15.-The speedy
and peaceful settlement of the British
railway strike was a sore disappoint-
ment to Russian bolsheviki. They
hoped that it would develop into open
revolution. That was shown by a
wireless message tbs was transmitted
from Petrograd with compliments to
the British railwaymen." 1t stated:
"We the railwaymen of Red Petro-
grad, have heard the news of your gem
eral strike with joy and enthusiasm,
You have broken the chains of civil
peace. You have declared war on your
government. You must pass from a
general strike to an armed rising. In
order to improve your economic posi-
ton you must first destroy the pres
ent imperialist order of things and
substitute for it government of
workers and peasants. Do not allow
the leaders of the old trade union
school to get at the head of the move
ment as they will betray you at the
last decisive moment. Victory is yours
If you fight to the end.
"As to ourselves. we will fight until
the whole world is covered with red
flags. Down with the Lea que of Ma
lions. Long live British soviet power"

London. November 15.-The ccm-

secret agent, told the Associated Press.

ers PROBABLE no workman, in the world

Tabor leaders involved in a strike
have employed many ingenious
methods to hide their identity, but a
large number of them have failed and
have been seen no more" Mr.. Dukes
said when a strike is called the
communists government tries to find
the hidden leader. In most cases he
finally is ferretted out and some morn

ton they are ineffective and generally

BY Ii HUNG CHANG
By Associated Press

Stockholm. October 12.-The unique col
lection OF Chinese works of art made
by the late Ii Hung Chang, one-time
viceroy of China, which for years coi-
lectoTs tried vainly to acquire, has finally
been bought by a Swedish syndicate and
valuable part of it has been given to
the National museum here by the pur-
cilasers. German museums were nego-
tiating for the collection when the war
put an end to their plans. The pur-
chase price is understood to have been
more than a million krone (nominally
about $3.50 COO, but the intrinsic value of
the collection is incalculable.
Lii Hung Chank died in 1901. He had a
collection of works of art larger than
anything of it's kind in the empire. 1t
included numerous old paintings, bronzes
of great worth and ancient ceramics. The
bronzes date from a time before Christ
and the paintings were done from the
tenth to the twelfth centuries.
The collection is in Shanghai, where it
has been packed and stored.
