Japanese Miffed Over
Race Equality Issue

YOKOHAMA. Juno 10 CORES Dondence
OF Tho Associated Press)-Failurc OF
the Peace Conference at Paris 10 adopt
Japan's proposal OF racial equality was
denounced by Marquis Okuma- formerly
Premier of Japan In an address he de-
livcred recently before the Japan CIVIL
cation Society.
1T is a blot on justice and humanity
that the whites. who constitute less
than one-third of tho worlds population
assume the control Of the world. and /
declare that justice and a humanity
which does not recognize racial equality
are scarcely worthy Of the name, he
said. Germany has hitherto been
great Influence in In" world. and this
influence is about to be replaced by An
glo-Amcrican influence, which will pro-
duce a far reaching effect on the future
peace OF the world and the veal of man
kind"
Concluding. Marquis Okuma said that
tho JapancS" are considerably Inferior
TO westerncrS in intellectual powers,
physical strength ard wealth. and th"S
mus, show no hesitation in possessing
themselves of whatever is required 10
make them the equal Of others. H"
added:
There Is nothing wrong In securing
development. morally. economically ana
socially. If the best efforts are made
in these directions il is TO be hoped that
no great difficulty will be experienced
In surpa ssing the arrogant wcst"rncrs
and bringing them TO their knees"
