PLAN TO NAME
HIGH COMMISSION
Japanese Officia! Circles Have g
Scheme For Settling Contro-
versy Over immigration
Into California.
by Henry w. Kinney, United Press
Staff Correspondent

TOXIC, Sept. % (delayed) Japan
csc official circles have under con.
sideration plan to name a high
commission as one of the possible
means of composing Japanese-Ameri-
can relations, the foreign office said
today in statement to The United
Press.
The plan, however has not ma
terialized to a point where it has
been proposed officially to the Ameri-
can government, it was stated.
The idea, according to the foreign
office, is an old one, having been
advocated by Viscount Shiduzawa
and Viscount Kanejob as solution
to the Japanese-American question.
In its statement the foreign office
partially emphasized these points:
That the Japanese contentious are
not based on the matter Of Japanese
being refused the right to own land,
but on the broader ground that Japan
claims for it's nationals the same
rights as are accorded other foreign
ers. In this connection the foreign
office declared that the Japanese law
against foreign land ownership, does
not discriminate, but applies to all
aliens in Japan.
That the immigration question was
settled by the "gentlenen's agree
ment" and is not involved in the
present situation.
The foreign office charged that
newspapers, both in Japan and
America, are confusing the issue by
injecting the immigration question.
While anti-American feeling now
is unnoticeable here, except in sec
ond rate newspapers, which are con-
tinuing their agitation, officials,
speaking unofficially, admit there is
a strong undercurrent among Japan
csc labor. and 1t is gravely feared

c.xs Wilson Went Over With 1900
stenographers and Not One
Statesman to Play DipIo-
matie Game.

aThe most malicious piece of legis
,ation. attempting to draw America
into European wars was the char
acterization of the Wilson league Of
nations by Major Dent Atkinson Of
Cleveland who spoke this afternoon a,
ths fall swine show celebration
"Thank God for the senate that has
Kent this country off the rocks OIL
European interference" the speaker
said and characterized President Viii
son as checker player trying to out
match Lloyd George. Clemenceau and
the Italian statesmen.
"You know when you play checkers
in the grocery store you have some
one at your elbow to nudge you. Well
wilson went over there with 1900
stenographers, but not statesman,
ne didn't want anybody to nudge him !;
he wanted to play the game alone.
Now if you people think Europe loves
America, just forget it. They loved
our boys who went over there to fight
for one thing-the money they would
sEend
europe would like to get us down
to her level, get us to pull her chest
nuts out Of the fire."
Major Atkinson has just returned to
America from five years spent in
Europe, through all of the warning
countries and in italy. and he began
his address by stating that he was not
American born, and that ne thought
for years that England was the only
country until he added II saw Ameri-
cal" Then with bit Of humor said
"Just like you democrats who think
your party is the only one until you

"The more ! see of war, the best
thing for Europe to do is to copy

America to do would be tn come down

BLACK-DRAUCHT A
FAMILY MEDICINE
Some Kind of Stomach Trouble
With Cramps and Terrible Pains
Made This Oklahoma Mans
Life Miserable Until Black
Draught Relieved Him.

Chickasha, Okla.-Mrs. J. w.
Walker recently said this: 1--WE use
Black Draught as a family medicine
and think it is the only liver nedi-
cine made. MY husband makes it up
and uses it as tonic as we'll as a
laxative. I use it for headache, sour
stomach, a full heavy feeling after
meals, which 1 suppose is indigestion,
and it certainly does me a lot of
good.
my husband had some kind of
stomach trouble-we don't know just
what. 1t would strike him just any
time in the day and cramp or pain
him just terribly bad. Some one told
MIN how to make a tea Of the Black
Draught, which he did. 1t did him so
much good, it removed the cause and
cured him. Since then we have
praised the Black-Draught to cur
friends, and gladly do So"
Seventy years of successful use has
made Thedford's Black-Draught a
standard household remedy. Every
member Of the family at times needs
the help that Black-Draught can give
in cleasing the system AMI prevent
ing or relieving the troubles that
come from constipation, Indigestion,
lazy liver, etc.
