JOKER CLAUSE in
JAP TREATY SEEN
ADMINISTRATION RUSHING DOC
INVENT THAT WOULD VOID
CALIFORNIAN ALIEN LAW.

WASHINGTON h e finishing
touches were put on the new treaty
with japan at conference Saturday
between Baron Shidehara, Japanese
ambassador, Roland Morris, United
States ambassador to Toxic, who rep
resents the state department at the
conversations, and Walter S. Rogers,
Americas delegate to the communica-
tions congress who is particularly in
terested in the cables to the Orient.
It will be submitted to congress as
quickly as possible after Nov. 6.
In their efforts to compel a recall
citrant senate to accept the Colby
Shidehara treaty, as it will be known,
officials of the administration already
are quietly passing the word that the
feeling in Japan over the California
LAND law is so intense that rejection,
or an attempt to negotiate second
treaty, can have only one ultimate re
suit, war with Japan.
The administration is well aware
of the present intent of the Senate to
reject the treaty, which is bound to
meet with the most violent opposi-
ton. particularly on the Pacific coast
The clause most perturbing e Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington. is
the one which grants full clvlc
rights to japanese subjects now le-
gally residents in America.
Seen as Joker.
While Japan has agreed to forbic
immigration and accept restriction!
of ''fuIl civic rights" to the present
generation, the treaty is interpreted
to concede the one cardinal privilege
to which California is most bitterly
opposed-the right of japanese to owr
property in the United States.
Although the treaty does not make
this specific statement Secretary Col.
by is firmly convinced that. the United
States supreme court will rule that
the term "full civic rights" can not
be accepted to mean anything other
than the right to own property.
In the draft of the treaty, it is IN
derstood, Japan has sacrificed every
other issue to gain this one point
which she maintains is cardinal to he1
national honor.
Opponents of the treaty, however
Isee in it the most willy and long-sight-
ed diplomacy, for once Japan has
gained "full civic rights" for her ma
Etionals of the present generation in
the United States they are firmly
convinced she will never consent to
surrender 1T for future generations.
Would Void Land Law.
If the treaty is accepted by the
senate, it was pointed out in official
circles Saturday, it will under ruling
of the United States supreme court
supersede the California alien land
law and completely nullify the results
of the recent referendum.

BERLIN.-The statistical year

ARE EATING GARBAGE
IN CENTRAL EUROPE
AMERICAN WOMAN SEES Chill
DREN FIGHT OVER A LEAF
OF ROTTEN CABBAGE.
MILLIONS FACE FREEZING

Unparalleled Suffering in All the Ma
tions. Sunflower Stalk and Seed
Considered Luxury by the Fam
ished. Sell Fuel by Shovelful.
MANITOWAC, Wis.-After a five
months tour of Europe, during which
time she witnessed all the misery that
the nations are suffering, Mrs. Mary
Kolar has returned with a sure cure,
she says, for bolshevism and all radi-
calism in this country. Her cure
would be to send dissatisfied Europe
ans back to their native lands.
Mrs. Kolar states that while she
had read extensively of sufferings of
Europeans, little did she realize that
conditions were as they actually ex-
list. Worst Of all, she says, is to see
the little children suffer. The peo-
Pile of Jugo-Slavia and Austria are
most unfortunate and the Germans are
faring but little better, she says.
People Fight for Garbage.
The Manitowac woman relates how
she saw in the Vienna marketplace
people fighting for garbage, and she
emphasized the fact that the garbage
over there is not what we consider
kitchen refuse. Those unfortunate
people would have a banquet from
that which we Americans throw away,
she says. She witnessed children
fighting over a rotten cabbage leaf,
and to see populace devour weeds was
common sight. A sunflower stalk
and seeds are considered a luxury,
Mrs. Kolar declares.
There is practically no fuel in the
countries Mrs. Kolar visited In vi
emma it is rationed, each family re-
ceiving about fourteen pounds week
"a shovelful. Wood is selling two
pounds for a half a crown, about 20
cents. With cold weather soon upon
them, the local woman declares that
it will be remarkable if millions do
not perish this winter.
One Egg in Six Years.
Mrs. Kolar relates pathetic exper-
fence on the train going through Jugo-
Slovaka, her native land. She was
eating lunch, consisting among other
things of eggs which she had brought
from America. The conductor seeing
her eat approached her and with
tears in his eyes asked for an egg,
profuseIy apologizing, but adding that
| it was six years since he had tasted
food of that kind. The only milk
the people have, she says, is that
which the American Red Cross distri-
u elsa, tdan mIu- hi SlaviaETON5
butes, and that is the canned product.

SMALLER PAPERS PATRIOTIC

The smaller city dailies and the
country weeklies are the great force
for good in developing the communi-
ties they serve.
The big metropolitan dailies may
influence national affairs some but it
is the country community that deter
mines things.
Many people have formed the habit
of merely scanning the headlines of the
big city dailies, while smaller papers
are read through.
In the recent election the contest
was between an extension of state
socialism and real Americanism, big
city papers boosting socialism.
The small city and country press is
patriotic and conservative, and does
not rush hostilitiss with other coun.
tries that lead to war
There are big metropolitan papers
that would force our country into war
with Mexico and Japan for what they
could make out of it.

THE WEST In THE CABINET

Geographically and from the stand
point Of developing natural resources
the west is entitled to the portfolio o.
the Interior.
Secretary Lane of the Wilson cabi-
net came from California and was al
ways champion of progressive poll
cies in western matters.
Subtle influences are at work to
prevent the wet from getting this
place to which it is clearly entitled
and switch it to the east.
Big eastern interests desire to DOM
mate in public lands, oil and mineral
development, forestry and the exploit
tation of Alaska.
Most of these influences are reac-
tionary and represent what is left OF
conservation policies that would tie ur
the west for the future.
In the case of Alaska red tape and
dilatory department methods have
kept American enterprise out of that
territory and population declines.
The west should not be deprived OF
the position of the Secretary Of the
Interior and it should be filled by ar
efficient western statesman.
Congressman Mondell of Wyoming
Senator Fall of New Mexico, Governor
Campbell of Arizona and Herbert
Hoover are the type of men needed.

Among the most common methods is
by financing the Introduction OF

boys and girls clubs, cooperating
with the agents of the agricultural de-
