To celebrate. Easter there was
6oht in Jerusalem, and 1873 were
hurt. AS usual, on this solemn
festival, the worst of the fighting
was at the tomb of the founder
of Christianity.
For many years, when the Turks
were in charge, their soldiers had
great difficulty at Easter, Christ
mas and other Christian festivals,
keeping different kinds Of Chris
iians from fighting each other.
Now that the Turk has been
driven out you might hope for
something better, but you would

ference, just closed, between an un-
official group of Americans and a
very distinguished group of Japan
ese.
Only honest and the most frank
discussion of these problems will
produce important results, Baron
Shibusawa said in a brief address
with which he opened the Unofficial
Conference of 1920 on American
Japanese Affairs, at the Toxic Bank
ers Club on April 26.
The Japanese group, of which
Baron Shibusawa is the head, repre-
sent practically every great CONNER
cial, financial and industrial enter
prise in Japan. They designated
their group as the Welcome Associa-
tion OF Japan.
Baron Shibusawa had extended to
Frank A Vanderlip an invitation to
come to Japan for an unofficial but
frank and earnest discussion of prob
lens confronting Japan in her own
domestic development. of matters of
international concern, and of de
velopments in the Far East in which
Japan's action had affected Ameri-
can public opinion.
Frankly Discuss immigration.
Mr.. Vanderlip was asked by the
Baron to select a small group of
representative American business
men, bankers and educators, who
came to be known in Japan as the
"Vanderlip Party"
During the conferences at Toxic
where Viscount Kaneko and Mr.
Vanderlip acted as joint presidents,
the conference freely and fully dis
cussed immigration into the United
States. the Siberian, Manchurian,
Mongolian, and Korean questions, CO
operation of Japan and the United
States in the Development of China's
Industry and Commerce, and Gable
Communication between Japan anC

Hurt by California Legislation.
The specter og cmfwypvbgkqjbgkq
The specter of a hungry nation is
lurking in the minds of japanese
business men and statesmen as thew
approach the subject of immigration.
Restrictive legislation in California
especially in the recent proposal of
a referendum to be voted upon in
November, is matter of profound
interest to the Japanese at present.
This referendum IS a measure de-
signed to cancel the leasehold of
japanese farmers, and to prevent the
guardianship of japanese children by
Japanese parents. Far more impor-
tant that the material injury that
might be done their nationals is, the
japanese say, the discourtesy, the
harshness of the language of the pro-
posed legislation, the hurt to Jap
anese national pride that would re-
suit from such legislation.
The do not insist, in fact, they
seem to have no desire, that further
fresh japanese immigration be per-
mitted by the United States.
Were they laboring under any il
lusions as to the American attitude in
respect of this matter, they would
have been dispelled by Mr.. Wander
lips statement at the opening session
when he said:
"lt seems to me that your popula-
tlon is growing too fast to make it
possible for you to solve a problem
by emigration alone. Certainly you
must agree that there is no outlook
for relief from the problems of such
a rapidly growing population by en-
lgratlon to Americany Were you ia
send your surplus population to US, il
would flood US. Any such course
would not be good for use, nor would
| it be good for you"
Game at Request of Americans"
The japanese insisted that Japan
had the frmest intentions of living
up to the spirit and the letter of the
"Gentlemen's Agreement" in the fu.
ture emigration of their nationals tc
the United States. Their plea is fol
courteous, just and considerate treat
ment of this embarrassing and diff
cult question.
They are anxious, they insist, tt

of the Japanese already in Califor

that these japanese may pursue

Needs Bigger Force.
An increase in the general mail
volume of SO per cent in one year
is certainly going to require an in
cr"asing, and not a decreasing force
to hand it.
The loyalty and devotion with
which the great majority of postal
employees have clung to their service
for the public. in spite of low pay
and overwork, is shown best by fig
ures:
For the year ending June 80, 1920,
one the basis of figures to date, re-
signation of clerks will be about ID
per cent and of carriers about 4 1-2
per cent, and most of these resigna-

mended that congress give the post
master general the right, within GER
tain limitations, to make different in
