S1S A POEM
\ Sweet Messenger of Light
4 Bind tiny winged sandals
Firm and tight upon thy feet,
And swiftly to thy people go;
And lift the yoke so long
+ In patience, and in silence by thy race.
Give them hope where hope is almost dead;
] Kindle in their hearts the fire of love,
And leave gross hatred to hearts less pure.
And thou, oh Messenger of Light,
Have patience to endure.
&For thou wilt meet with many trials;
The sages of thy tribe will test thee we'll;
All may seem dark and thy journey not worth WHILE
Then go into the secret places of thy heart,
And dwell in close communion with the Spirit best.

Thou klowest we'll the tempers of the steel
Entrusted to thy hand.
Oh Dawn, receive this messenger to thy heart,
Who from the house of prophets
Receive We, too the message he imparts,-
The freedom of thy people to proclaim
The first birds carol in the Light of Dawn.
Oh Dawn. spread the light DER every mountain peak

GOOD MEN FOR THE

Just now, when the official heads
of the Department of the Interior
and the Department OF Indian
Affairs are threatened with the
official axe, we are wondering who
will be selected to I'll these two
important position should the
administration change hands this
fall. Many prominent men have
been mentioned who, in our opln-
ion, would fall short of the quail
ties necessary to fulfill the duties
of these two important offices to
the best interests of all concerned.
AS to the Office of Secretary of the
Interior we are of the opinion that
g. more able man for this high
Office could not be found than our
friend Senator Charles Curtis of
Kansas. Mr.. Curtis has beena men,
Der of the United States Senate
for many years and at present J. IS ),
Chairman Of The Senate Committee
on Indian Affairs, prior to bis
election to the Senate he served
many years in the House of Rep
resentatives. Being of direct In
dian descent himself, Senator Cur
tbs has always had warm spot in
heart for the Indian people and
their interests; always willing to
listen to their grievances and en-
deavoring to aid them in any way
that was within his power, both as
a member of the Senate body and
during the many years that be Was
q me mber of the lower house OF
congress. One of the fundamental
principles which Senator Curtis
argues for is that every Indian
should have a bearing if he has a
complaint to make. Otherwise. an
Indian would be without any
remedy. The personal knowledge
the Senator has of the Indian
people, their liyes and mode of
thinking, together with his long
legal anc legislative experience,
makes him we'll fitted for the
Office of Secretary of the Interior,
and from our own personal knowl..
edge of the Senator we are con-
WINGED that should he be appointed
to the Office he will stand guard,
as be has done in the past, over
the property and interests of the
American citizen who is in need
of honest dealing, be he red man
or pale face" As Chairman of
the Senate Indian Committee Sen
: ator Curtis was much sought after
by delegations representing -vari-
Gus tribes who were in Washing
ton last winter seeking relief from
the oppression of the Indian Blu
reau. Its hoped, by the Mime
sofa Chippewas at least, that in
the event of the administration
changing hands this fall, that
Senator Charles Curtis will be
appointed as the next Secretary OF
the Interior. ~ -
The Office of Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs is also one of great
Importance, especially to the In
dian people. We are informed
/, that many prospects are being dis.
cussed by different Indian tribes
throughout the country and that

sembled to witness performance Of
tho ancient mo Drama" which had
been specially arranged for our enter
tainment and TO take part in welcom-
ing the American guests. Before the
performance Baron Shibusawa deliy-
cred formal address of welcome.
Baron Shibusawa spoke seriously Of
the signifcanc Of the coming con-
ference. He ventured the belief that
We had come because we were in
terested in maintaining world peace
and in promoting the happiness Of
mankind; and ne declared that should
there be any obstacle in the way of a
perfect understanding between Amer
lea and Japan that Japan was prepared
in manner which would permit the
two nations to continue to enjoy their
hittoric friendship. He predicted that
the conference would result in con-
crete contribution to the welfare Of
mankind.
Then he referred to the revolution
airy change in the life of Japan, which
had taken place in sixty years, and to
the changing process tn, was still
going on. Japan, he declared, is still
in transition.
coI luStbuCe, baron SnlDuSaWa
said, "if you look about you you will
on their head, nor the two swords of
the feudal days. Observe the apparel
of the guests. 1t does not present uni
formity. We are about to present q
performance Of type of drama which
has history running back five hun
dred years and is still indicative Of a
living aspect of the indigenous culture
of Japan. Such a mixture you are apt to
observe continuously during your So
jcurn in Japan. This is equally true
of the spiritual aspect as well. By such
a process of hybridization Japan is
progressing toward her ideal"
Replies to Address of Welcome
When I came to reply to the address
of welcome, hit upon the figure Baron
Shibusawa had used Of old Japan with
its top-knot and two swords, and in the
course Of my reply said:
II have noted what Baron Shibusawa
has said about the change in Japan
since feudal days. He has called our
attention to the fact that we no longer
find men here wearing top-knots on
| their heads, nor two swords at their
side. l wonder if, in q sense, you who
visit America do not find US wearing
top-knots on our head and two swords
at our side in manner that makes
you think that spiritually we are in
some ways backward. Some Of ou1
countrymen wear p-knots on their
head in the form of national conceit
and at their sides they wear two
swords--one sword Of misunder-
standing and the other a sword OF
prejudice. / do not mean to say that
we are all accoutered in that way
Many Of us have grown to have wider
vision, to be moro internationally
minded and to have sympathetic at
titude toward the peoples of othe,
countries and other races. But in some
quarters there is still left something
Of prejudice and good deal left OF
ignorance of world affairs. l hope to
see America emerge from this mental
feudalism, to see America become a
nation OF worldwide understanding and
sympathy, discarding prejudice and
reaching an understanding of the
problems that other peoples have to

I have tried to outline in the first
article of this series something of the
nature and complications of the Far
Eastern situation. With some vague
knowledge of this problem in mind, it
was natural that when an invitation
reached me few weeks ago, coming
from group of the most distinguished
men in civil life in Japan, to form a
small party of representative Ameri-
cans to visit Japan, and to discuss with
frankness some of the points Of inter
national friction between Japan and
the United States, that such an invita-
ton would seem attractive.
At the head Of the welcome asso-
citation which had been formed for the
purpose of issuing this invitation was
Baron Shibusawa. My acquaintance
with him had extended over eighteen
years, and l knew him as man not
only of great accomplishments in the
business world of Japan but as one
dominated by the noblest purposes
and the highest spirit. In that respect
l would have ranked him among the
greatest business men in all the world
His practical accomplishing easily
gained him that rank on the material
side, but his breadth of vision, his
freedom from prejudice and, above all
his high spiritual character which quite
transcends any classification of Orien-
tai and Occidental, had for many years
ranked him in my mind among the
worlds great citizens.
Associated with him were perhaps
a hundred Of the leading men in Japa-
nese civil life. These included some
who had important governmental re-
lationships. There were members of
the Privy Council and of the House
of Peers and others who had held high
positions in the political life of Japan
The invitation was clearly stated to be
unofficial, but I was told that the Japa-
nese government was entirely sym
pathetic to the proposed conference
and subsequently there was nothing
left undone by the officials of the gov-
eminent and the imperial household
to remove any doubt as to the sym
pathetic interest of the government
The American Party
On our side we were of course COM
pletely unofficial. l chose the mem
bers of the party, all of whom were not
only without any official influence but
were not even representative of an or
ganization. We were merely a party
of individuals, without political sip
nificance, and without representative

Anglo-French Oil Pact
Terms Are Announced
Agreement, Signed at San Reno.
Covers Interests in Rumania,
Russia and Other Countries

LONDON, July "a (By The Associ-
ated Press An agreement was signed
by Great Britain and Franco at San
Reno April "a for cooperation and
reciprocity with respect to Anglo
French oil interests in Rumania, Asia
Minor, Russia, Galicia and the French
and British colonies.
In regard to Rumania, the agreement
provides for an equal division of in
terests derivablc from former enemy
concessions and for an equal share in
the capitalization, management and ex-
ploitation of such interests.
Relative to Mesopotama, Great Brit
ain undertakes to grant France 25 per
cent of the net output of crude oil at
current market rates when the oil fields
are developed by government action,
or, in the event of private develop
ment, to offer France q 25 per cent
share in the capital of the developing
company, which would be made under
permanent British control The native
government or native interests would
be permitted to participate to maxi
mum of 20 per cent share in the cap
ital of such a company.
Great Britain agrees to support
France in getting 25 per cent of the
Anglo Persian company's oil piped from
Persia to the Mediterranean, through
territory under French mandate. In
consideration thereof France agrees to
the desire to construct two special pipe
lines and adjunctive railways for the
transport of oil from Mesopotamia and
Persia through French spheres of in
fluence to the eastern Mediterranean.
France generally announces royalties
and export and transit dues on such oil,

orders with a view to overthrowing the
Cabinet or hindering Parliament, and
thus prevent enactment Of the pro-

five Protestant ministers are reported
to have died of starvation in England
last year, and the parsons have now
formed the National Clerical Union
for establishment of minimum liv-
ing wage for the clergy" While it is
announced the union will follow the
trend Of trade unionism the clergymen
have declared they have no intention

They will seek not only to establish
a minimum wage but also deal with
provisions for adequate retiring pen
sions and pensions for widows and
orphans Of clergymen
Rev. c. H. Lloyd Evans, acting secre-
tary of the new movement, said few Of
the "inferior clergymen" earned more
than $500 year and a great many
earned less. The union will seek to
enlist the sympathy Of the public.
