W. Shingie, territorial senator and
! member of the legislative commission
which recently returned from aWsh-
ington, in an open letter to the Pacific
Commercial Advertiser published here
today declared that many Congress
men opposed opening of public lands
IN Hawaii to homesteading because of
increasing numbers Of japanese in the
territory obtaining American citizen
ship.
"The United States congress is al
most unanimously averse to the grant
ing Of homestead privileges on high
~ developed public lands in the Terri
tory Of Hawaii, because it is by no
means satisfied of the complete SINGER
Iity of Americanism in the growing
class citizenship in these islands," the
Letter said.
81 alude to Hawaiian born japanese,
thousands of whom annually come into
the sacred inheritance of American
citizenship.
Neither congress nor / have any
intention of calling into question the
loyalty of Hawaiian born Japanese in
this territory. However, America
learned bitter lesson Of nationaliza-
tidn during the past five years, one of
which cost dear in blood and ideals"
The problems involved in efforts to
obtain a homesteading law, were bas-
ed upon desire of the territorial leg
islature to Public lands have been

8ralv!ey Attorney Writes Press
Of SOMe OF Aims and Objects
of Organization; Bankers
Endorse Plan.

Minor Blythe Of Brawley, who is
leeply interested in the formation OF
a cotton growers organization in the
Imperial Valley writes as follows to
the Imperial Valley Press:
Ell Centro Press,
e. Centre, Cal.
Gentlemen:
Heretofore you have devoted consid-
cradle space IN your columns on behalf
Of organizing the Cotton Growers of
: Imperial Valley for the purpose of
Meeting labor conditions in picking,
On April "a 1920, at three o'clock,
in the afternoon. in the High School
building at FL Centro meeting will
be held for the purpose of electing Of
ficers and to form one organization in
the Valley, and such space and COM
ment as you see 1T to devote to this
matter will be greatly appreciated by
I'll OF those interested in cotton, be-
ides being for the welfare of Imperial
Valley.
A like organization was formed at
Phoenix and met with grand success,
in that the growers were saved ap-
Iproximately $4,000 per bale by the or
qanization. have received letter
from the organization at Phoenix, to-
wit: The Southwestern Cotton Grow
ers Association and the Arizona Cot
ton Growers Association at Tempe,
Arizona, where they have stated they
will have representative at the
meeting to be held in FL Centre to
explain the workings Of their organi-
zation.
This organization is proposed to in
clude both long and short staple grow
crs, and in case the organization is
perfected, will operate in conjunction
with the ORGANIZATIONS in Phoenix,
Tempe and Yuma, as our source of la
Dor will come from the same districts.
The cotton brokers and tire COM
panies. who nave made advances to
the various ranchers, have urged them
TO form the association. However,
they do not like to take an active part
until after the ranchers have formed
the association, as they wish the mat
ter to be formed solely by the ranch
ers. After the association is formed
they will lend such assistance as the
ranchers may desire.
There have been several meetings of
the ranchers in various parts of the
valley for the purpose Of arriving at q
means Of forming an association, and
in each locality, they have decided it
would be the best TO hold one meeting
at ri Centro. and request the Press
cf the valley to give this matter their
support. .,.-Sii't

ment

apDointed. | am surprised at the fact
that for several months | have earnestly
and anxiously studied the minds OF the
American people both At home and abroad

realized come months ago that the
natural desire for change indicated g
Republican victory. but for several
weeks past have deluded myself with
the thought they had laid aside their
desire for O change because Of their great
interest in the League of Nations
James Il Hughes. United States Dis
trict Attorney for the District Of Delaware
said
The result has not surprised me as
much as it might seem, and IN my opinion
il might have been expected as result
of the discomfort caused by the h!gr
prices and the general relaxation following
the war.
1T is not a Reputation Of the League
of Nations. The unrest has oyershadowed
the real issue of the League, and in my
opinion i has not had a fair trial

Representative Citizens and Work
res to Agitate Need for Home
Support.

Glazed kid shoes from skins finished In
Wilmington, are TO be boosted through
campaign inaugurated last night at a
meeting of leather workers, merchants
and glazed kid manufacturers.
David Sncllenburg presided Mt the
gathering, and after speaking OF the part
played by Wilmington In tho war, he
said
"One of the great industries we have
in the city, which employs more than
5000 persons, which manufactures one
and one-half million dozen skins year,
paws annually S5,000,000 In wages, which
paws to the city and State alone taxes
amounting to about s75, 900 year, ls the
leather industry. We must realize the
Importance of this industry TO wilmington
and il behooves everybody Interest," eel In
the welfare and prosperity OF the city to
help all our industries along. AT the pres
ent time there appears TO be n slacSness
in the making of glazed kid, due largely
to conditions brought about by the great
war: nevertheless there is always demand
for Wilmington glazed kid and nobody
ought 10 realize that better than the retail
merchant
J. Writ Willis, of the New Castle ionth-
or Company, pointed out that before 1914
about 65 per cent Of the glazed Kid IN TINS
country was marketed abroad, md that
il would now be nee ,ssary to find home
