Washington.-Viewing Japa-
nese insistence before the Paris
Conference for recognition of
race equality, in the league of
Nations as the forerunner of an
attempt by Japan to have the
immigration bars thrown down
to Japanese desiring to enter
this country, Senator Phelan,
Democrat, of California, sent a
telegram today from San Fran
cisco to Senator Borah of Idaho
asking that he back up a pro-
test that California had sent to
the American delegates at Pa
ris against any such provision
going into the covenant.
Senator Phelan regarded the
attitude of the Japanese, he
said, as threatening the immi-
grafton laws already existing,
and he urged Mr.. Borah, who,
has been conducting a fight
against the League of Ma
tions's attemps, with other
opponents of the League, to
prevent the inclusion of the ra-
cial clause suggested by Japan's
delegates as being contrary to
the spirit of American policy.
When Senator Phelan left
Washington for the Coast he
allowed it to become known that
he intended speaking for the
League of the Nations and in
support of President Wilson's
efforts at Paris. His telegram
to Mr.. Borah was the first in
timation that he had discovered
what he regarded as a snag in
the League Constitution.
Mr.. Borah wired Senator Phe-
Ian that he would support his
effort, pointing out that, under
the League covenant as already
drafted, Japan would be in posi-
ton to force judgement by the

Sandwich Islands to our well known
journalist Mariana Abri There in that far-away
country five Thousand Porto RcanS who went there
several years ago. not after fortune for Porto Ri
as rule don't bother with that trife, but simply to
snatch from Fortune something enough to make living
in any old way They belonged to the only class Of work
send out from this island; they were pure and
simple speons and said they were, because accord
ing to their letter. at present they are things that get
better treatment than dogs.
Maxim Cork that rebel who died the other day. invent
ed special word to denominate certain type found
among the social scum; the expression is exmen Our
eigrans who go out without the physical and mental
advantages OF ther emgrants should be called ex-eml-
grants giving the word permanent value, they will
never be anything else. Exemgrants all the time, no
matter how long they may live in the country and
as such they will only get kicks from the natives.
OfGoqrse San Domingo would have been much better
country for our emlgrants to go than Hawaii for no
matter what they would not have been illtreated by
their Dominican brothers, there racial differences
in this case and both Porto Ricans and Domnicans get
along very well. But even in San Domingo, societies
should be organized to look after the welfare of emf
grants
But RIGHT HERE in Porto Rico is where we should
first look after the welfare Of our people emgrants
emigrants We should send out that type of
laborer which we should not have here either
Underfed un-skiled un-inteigent labor will be undsa

than coolies and as such we should be treated
The day may be very far when country will need
sending out by the force Of hunger any of its Inhabitants
How do you explain yourself the fact that at the very
moment when ship sails from Porto Rico loaded with
emigrants who cannot make living here another ship
sails loaded with the products of the andsugar tobac

wrong in that. ~
" France and Spain have each more less the same
extent Of territory: little than half million
like thirty-nne million inhabitants, while Spain only
has half say twenty millions. But not only France
did not send out emigrants, to speak, but needing
badly to increase her population offered premium to
the family raising not less than certain number of
children while Spain sends out hundreds Of thousands
Of emgrants every year How do you explain yourself
that? Mind you it isn't because the Spanish soil is not
fertile enough to support it's population for you must
understand that at the time that the vessels sail
away with thousands Of egrants other ships sail loaded
with Wines oils, fruits, corks minerals and the other
products Of the Spanish peninsula. No. something else
must be the cause Can you understand it?

BILE officer in immediate charge
