JAPAN'S CONVENTIONS.

l. Is self evident that when the
Great Powers admitted Japan into
membership and she became factor
in lhe sc Element of the world war,
thi; in itself carried with it the re
Coan on of tina, country as an equal
Of all OF the other members Of this
pow erful coalition. To int innate or
to in:cr that she was III my sense OF
the word inferior to those nations
with which she is now affiliated seems
20 the average mind ridiculous. That
the Japanese recognize this fact is
made plainly apparent by the remark
able, but clearly stated position OF
the once he nit kingdom by her re-
preventative IL. Paris.
He is quoted as follows:
P"r's. April 2.-No Asiatic nation
could be happy In n league OF nations
in which sharp racial discrimination
is maintained, Baron Maxine, head of
the Japanese delegation to the peace
conference, declared In q statement
to the Associated Press today on the
position Of Japan.
1--WE arc not too proud to fght,'
the baron said, "but We are too proud
TO accept a place Of admitted infer
iority in dealing with ono or more
associate nations. We want nothing
but simple Justice"
Japan is glad to join league Of
nations TO maintain peace and order
the baron added. Japan does not
wish. he continued, to force her labor
crs as immigrants on any associate
countries, and recognizes that this
question is one for each nation to
deal with itself.
Japan feels that she is entitled to
q frank and open admission by tho
allies that the principle of equity and
Justice is Il fundamental tenet OF the
league Of nations, the baron con-
tinucd. Japan sees difficulties in the
way Of Il permanent and successful
operation Of tho league, he asserted,
unless the contracting parties enter
it with mutual respect.
What does the distinguished Japan
csc diplomat mean by taking n d.
ametrically OPPOSITE Wow Of Presi-
dent Wilson's declaration made prior
to our entrance into the war when
he said that a nation may be too
proud to fight? Baron Maxine cm-
phasizes, the tact that his country Is
not too proud to fight. We can hard
ly construc this into threat. It Ger
tainly does lot mean that Japan is
ready to fight for tho equality that 1t
demands. He emphasizes the fact that
eve want nothing but simple Justice
Can an American President and an
American congress that made war
with Germany for just this reason
fail to accord to one Of It's own allies
simple justicef
An answer must be givon In very
short time and Japan is awaiting that
answer.

The One-piece frock has its advan-

and now divides honorS with the tall
ored suits in the estimation of bust

tain of these one-piece models were

describes them and points out their
