SIMPLE JUSTICE

Paris April 2-(By Associated
Press .)-No Asiatic nation could be
happy in league OF nations in
which sharp racial discrimination is
maintained, Baron Maxine, head of
the Japanese delegation to the
peace, conference, declared in a
statement to the Associated Press
today on the position of Japan.
"We are not too proud to fight"
the baron said, but we are too
proud to accept place Of admitted
ipferiority in dealing with one or
more associate nations. We want
nothing but simple Justice
Japan is glad to join a league OF
nations to maintain peace and or
der, the baron said.
Japan does not wish, he contin-
ued,~ to force her laborers as immi-
grants on any associate countries,
and recognizes that this question is
one for each nation to deal with
itself.
Japan feels that it is entitled to
a frank and open admission by the
allies that the principle of equity
and justice is a fundamental tenet
of the league of nations, the baron
continued. Japan sees difficulties
in the way of a permanent and sue
cessful operation of the league, the
baron asserted, unless the contract
ing parties enter it with mutual re-

News from Korea of the interest
ing scenes leading up to the proc

March l, is being received here wit,
the receipt of the copy of the pro-
clamation. |.
One outstanding point is the
statement that two members of the
Young Mems .Christian association
staff at Seoul, both Americans, were
taken from the street m front Of
their building to room inside and
subjected to personal search, be-
cause they were suspected of having
been handed a copy of the procla'
nation by Korean on the street.
The search was unrewarded, and the
men were released. .E- :.
There is strong feeling in Toxic
against the missionaries, but on the
part of Japanese who know Korea,
this is discredited. At least any in
territorial effort on their part at
bringing on a revolt is discredited.
