cOmmERcIALIsM PRODUCES
JUST SUCH DEALS

Refusal of France and Belgium to
make public a secret treaty known. to
exist is another indication of how lit
tie intention there is among the pow
ers of the world to observe what the
common people think ought to be the
principles of the league of nations
According to news reports, England
has agreed that the action of these
other two countries is acceptable to
herself and proper.
England probably knows the con-
tents of this treaty, while the rest of
the members of the so-called league
of nations remain ignorant of it. The
league thus becomes more and more
a superficial form to fool the COM
mon people while national greed con-
tinues to play its terrible game as
hitherto.

agitation is assuming grave proper
tons and expressing the fear that if it
is left unchecked the interests of Japan
in California, the result of years of toll
and labor will be doomed
This is regrettable for American
Japanese am1ty,' the resolution says.
We must arouse public opinion,

anti-Japanese movement and seek per-
manent solutions of the question in

appointment of committee of twenty
five to include members of the diet, to
discuss defensive ways and means.
Virtually all the newspapers express
the belief that the American people
themselves will prevent any injustice.

Stevic was mentioned in The State
