The feature of the coming Vic

with especial emphasis to the
women is that a part of the
money will care for these wound

of a wounded Yank who bemoan-

his misfortune was less than that

all these declare they did not
lose them but "gave them"
When these boys give with
such spirit we can not stand

For Idaho.

Women always bear a heavy
burden in war. The heartaches
remain longer but women make
their fight as determinedly as
the men and do not falter until
the victory has been achieved.
The women of Idaho have sup
ported the war with all the vigor
that characterizes the brave
women of the west and they
realize that although the fight
ing at the front is ended there
still remains a great task before
it can be said that the war is
over.

have given splendid support and

WHILE THERE is
STILL TIME

WHILE there is time, the United
w States must settle the Japanese
status in this country peaceably. To
vacillate and to delay means catas-
trophe and war. To stand firm today
while the menace of Japanese con-
troll is still in its beginning an :
amicable end of the problem.
Australia and Canada prove that.
Australia and Canada have decided that
their resources, their businesses, their lands,
their opportunities, are for white men only.
Australia and Canada, having found out
what Oriental invasion means, have raised the
barriers, and raised them high, and made
them tight.
And this with most cordial relations be-
tween England and Japan.
But there is no suggestion that the anti-Jap-
anese laws of Australia of Canada will
bring war.
Nor will they.
The sooner this country adopts the policy:
america for the white race" the sooner will
enduring relations be established between the
United States and Japan.
And unless the Pacific coast, which faces
Japanese saturation, wakes up the rest of the
nation, we will blunder along, we have been
doing until the explosion comes.
Certainly those slack-wits who would tenn
porary profit from the immigration of the
Japanese driven out of awakened California
should not determine the policy of this city or
state.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1919-08-12

The resolution, as passed. demands that Congress
man Albert Johnson, chairman of the house immigra-
ton commtteee "as soon possible, appoint sub
committee of the immigration committee to nvesti-
gate fairly and impartiay, yet thoroy, the Japanese
situation in the Northwest, and particularly in the
state of Washington.
And that his attention be called to the records of the
immigration department to the admission of Japanese
including picture brides in the last five years, their pos
session of hotels groceries, markets and other places of
business
"And that the committee do its investigating in Sc
attic to solidfy public opinion"
