AMERICA MUST
 SETTLE PROBLEM

Tokio, Oct. s.-Leadi Japanese politicians and business men have ex- pressed their views on the relations between America and Japan in state ments published in newspapers or magazines here in connection with the visit of the American Congress sional party.
 Both Marquis Okuma, formerly Premier, and one of the most revered of the Japanese statesman, and Wis count Kato, formerly Minister of For e1gn Affairs and president of the Kenseikai or Opposition party, assert that the anti-Japanese movement In California is a question of racial pre- judice. Statements by both are pub lished in the Tokio Asahi.
 Marquis Okuma described the Call ifornia situation as ''one of the most knotty tangles that the United States
 and Japan will have to unrave1. It can be traced to racial jealousy" he said. Exclusion of the Japanese set | tiers is insisted on because they are | quick at saving money or in deyel- l op1ng their business with the result 1 that the American finds 1t difficult to
 compete. With this creeps g. feeling
 in the minds of the Americans that
 the Japanese, if left alone. will soon i establish their influence in the en- | tire district west Of the Rockies.'' | The Marquis sees possibility of i reaching a happy settlement because | the situation is being clamorously discussed It is when the Japanese 1 Keep silent that the situation really | becames gloomy, he added.
 1 Viscount Kato declares that since
 the anti-Japanese question, in Amer | ica is one of racial prejudice, it must be settled by the Americans them l selves. Japan should hold herself | responsible only when wrongs are I done by Japanese irnrnigrants''
 II Vice-Admira1 Sato. in an article in
 the Taiyo, an influential Japanese political magazine, takes Americans
 to task for calling Japan a country
 of militarists which he denies.
 con1inaad am one 4e.a of those wna sna is firmly

 vice-admira1, tsbut I am also strong
 advocate of Japan being prepared to
 meet any contingency and I think
 that this will be the surest means of N preserving good relations between Japan and America and the peace o1 the Far East. There is no need for Japan to have nilitry machines su. nexiOkstn-thnee of Anarioa-- Asat- la

THE PE0PLES' SAY

Editor of The Times:
 Now that the tempest in a teapot has subsided, and Stratford has had it's annual orgy, and the united order of hammer throwers have. ceased their activities for the time being, and such pleasant names as thief, crook, liar, robber etc. have stopped issuing from the mouths of good share Of the men women and chill dren of the town there are few of us
 ere who are endeavoring to operate small enterprises against big odds. that cannot help but wonder that if a one-tenth part of the energy and activity put forth by the different axe grinding clubs, committees and com munity associations could be diverted to one big civic organization where politics were taboo and the welfare of the town was the first considera- ton if we would not all be vastly benefited.
 I, for one, would consider it an honor and would be with such an or ganization tooth, nail, time and money.

 Columbus, Ohio, Oct. S.-Claim that an effective substitute for sugar can be manufactured at cost not to exceed four cents a pound and can retail at eight cents a pound has in- terested local consumers who went through the recent alleged sugar fla mine and its attendant high quota tionS.
 This substitute is made from corn. It is said to be four-fifths as sweet as cane or beet sugar. But only a relatively small mount of imagination need be added. It is claimed, to make it an effective and popular substitute.
