TROUBLE WITH JAPAN
SEEMS ALMOST CERTAIN

The New York Evening Globe
prints Los Angeles special dispatch
reading:
Trouble is looming up between the
United States and Japan-very Sc
r:ous trouble. The local anti-Japan-
Csc sentiment in California Is rapidly
rising to n point where action may
soon be taken which will make n con-
t!nuance of the present cordial rela-
items between the two countries i'm

"The congressional committee on
Immigration and naturalization, which
has opened hearings at San Francisco,
Is not beginning moment too soon,

mans. to call the nations attention
to u most serious threat of our peace.
California already has a law forbid
ding any japanese to own land and is
about to pass law forbidding the
subjects of the mikado even to lease
land. The first law has been bitterly
rssailcd by the Japanese government.

The writer is far from wishing to

leading men in four cities of the State
and checking this knowledge against
previous experience in ten years
residence in California; he wishes to
state his belief that the Japanese
question is more serious than il has
ever been in the past.
The outstanding aspects are as
tC llows:
Tho conflict between Asintic and

statement that nc is of English Ger

OF course If the two candidates are
going to run on the records of their
18th century ancestors, they can do
so. But IL is and has been the general
impression of the American public
that both candidates chief and only

Why go beyond that? 1t is inter

emphasize the tendency in that hardy
race to survive all trials and reach
ruling positions. But. even if inter
osting. ii is not an issue in an Amer

SO far as this country is concerned
Senator Harding can claim distant
t'nship with Julius Caesar and Gov
crnor Cox can prove his relationship
to the Sheriff of Mecca, but neither
