Released Prisoners Tax
Latvia's Food Supply
More Than 100000 Booked to
Return From Russia to
the Homeland

RIGA, Latvia. Nov. 1s. - Lettish
troops which fought with the Czecho-
Slovaks in Siberia recently have re-
turned to Riga from Vladivostok and
have been received with great patri-
otlc demonstrations.
Under the treaty with Moscow about
800 900 Let's are to be released from
their home land. This influx of popu-
lation is increasing tho problems Of
the little country. Glad as Latvia is
to see its sons return, their presence
places a heavier burden on the food
supply, and there is little employment
to offer them. The skilled workmen
of Lettish blood who have been work
ing in Soviet factories refuse to remain
in Russia because of enforced labor
and inadequate food.
1t is estimated by the Lettish Foreign
Office that more than 100000 Lettish
citizens are in America They are
such as Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh
and the New England industrial towns,
especially the shoe towns
The Let's are all studying Eng
lish industriously because Of the in
flux Of British and American business
men. Every shopkeepcr has at least
one clerk, who is buried in an English
grammar. Most of the Let's speak
Russian and German better than they
DO their own language, but under
changed conditions they are forced to
study Lettish. Language schools have
sprung up in all the cities and there
IS a heroic struggle to acquire the
languages necessary to meet the new
situation created by the secession Of
the Baltic states from Russia.
Many Of the government officials in
Latyia, Esthonia, Lithuania and Fin
land speak English and all are agreed
It is the language which must eventu-
ally be common to all the countries
bordering the Baltic. Lithuanian.
Lettish, Esthonian and Finnish are all

Japan Not Warlikc;
Iialaifl and Reserved.
SAYS Premier Hara
Loyal to Friendly Nations,
Never Nio ated Interna-
t;onal Laws Or Faith; Mis-
understood, He Declares

TOXIC, Nov. l5.-Denying that Japan
is militaris,ic and inviting foreign
critics to study Japanese history to
prove the contention, Premier Takashi
Hara has written an article entitled
"Japanese National characteristics as
Misundsfe TODD by the World" which Is
published in the Chuwe, an organ Of
the Seiyukai party.
"It is charged that the Japanese Is
an aggressive race, bellicose and lack
ing in civilization other than the art
cf war" the Premier wrote. This mis-
understanding may be attributed to
three defective points of view. First,
Japanese history is disregarded; Sec
ond, Japanese literature and art are set
SIDE, and third, the true conditions OF
the lie Of the people have not been
studied by the critics.
Japan has no record in her history
OF having conquered other races, as
every one knows. The foreign wars in
the Meiji era especially the Russian
war, were simply wars for self-defense
against foreign aggression
IF Japan's history is examined
closely it is rich in records Of warfare,
to be sure, but it is great mistake to
anese people have been a warlike rsce
altogether, born and reared in the
midst Of wars. The wars Of japanese
historical records have been political
wars. In the days before civilization
had advanced political and military
wars were employed for the same pur-
pose by all countries which are now
civilized.
Japan has never violated interna-
tional laws or inte irrational faith. She
has been rather too timid to do so or
too inexperienced for it. In other
words. she has not yet been degraded
to that extent If there is any fault
to be found with the Japanese it may
be, as critics at home tell Us, that
Japan Is too modest and reserved. In
respecting international obligations
and In being loyal to friendly natione
there perhaps is no country which will
surpass Japan, though many nations
apply the same principles Of mora
4 conduct between nations as between
individuals.
ITO be sure we cannot say that there
has been no cause for misunderstand'
ing as regards affairs with China ir
the past, but that was question OF
the ability Of the men in power at the
time 1t was not due to any Of the
traditional principles Of japan. Thai
the result of the deals with China were
not such as q section Of Americans
had understood them to be is a matter
which has now been brought home
clearly to the people Of the world. O.
that am firmly convinced"

LONDON, Dec. 4.-In the ordinary

Englishman has ever forgotten, it

With fewer motor cars registered In

Anglo-Japanese Alliance
Is Urged Strengthened
Baron Sakamoto, Advocating
Renewal, Seeks Removal of
Clause Regarding Z. S.

TOXIC, Nov. 12.-Baron Sakamoto
a member of the House OF Peers, ad-
vocates renewal Of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance and insists on the removal OF
the clause which exempts Great Britain
from any obligations to japan in the
event of dispute with America.
Baron Sakamoto points OF. that this
exemption clause has been dead let
ter for the last ten years.
The baron argues that the clause is
against the spirit Of Article X Of the
league covenant, which places an equal
obligation upon each member of the
League of Nations in respect Of mutual
defense against territorial aggression
Finally. he argues that the peace Of
the Pacific is now maintained by the
balance of power of Great Britain
America and Japan. If Great Britain
is relieved of her obligation by means
Of the arbitration treaty the equilib-
'rium of power in the Pacific will be
destroyed, he asserts.
