JAPANESE
WAR TALK
MANY RUMORS ABOUT
RESULTS OF CALIFORNIA
ALIEN LAND LAW
Exclusion of Little Yellow Men Hits
the Jap Solar Plexus in His Pride.
Believe He May Attempt 10 Strike
First.

In spite of the seeming impossibili-
ty that such thing should occur,
there are many rumors afoot of war
with Japan. 1t would appear in
credible that the Japs should seek
trouble with the most powerful nation
OF the world. but they are very cocky
and determined, and the recent action
OF California in passing an alien land
law, which in effect win evict all the
Jap farmers, has been bitter blow
to japanese pride. Also, Japan is the
one powerful nation that had no blood
letting to speak Of in the great war,
and its people waxed fat, with none of
wars disadvantages.
1t is reported that today's belated
papers will bring news of Japanese
activities which may presage war.

OLD PARTY VIEWS
ARE INADEQUATE
Committee of F0rty-Eight
Urges Immediate Eco
n0mic Reforms
CAUSES OF UNREST
ARE NOT REACHED
Proposes Immediate Restoration of
Free Speech, Government Ownership
Of Transportation and Natural Re-
sources and Drive on Privilege.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The many
recent proposals for platforms made
by Republican and Democratic leaders
do not reach down to the causes of
the present state of unrest in the coun-
try, in the opinion of the Committee
of Forty Eight, the liberal group which
has offered platform of its own in an
attempt to handle the real problems
confronting the nation.
The committee sees proposals in
plenty for continuation of the policy
of repression to which the dominant
groups in both old parties, they assert,
are apparently committed. 1t also
finds evidence which it considers suffi-
Gent to convince any but those who de-
'liberately refuse to be convinced that
the suppression of speech and assem-
blage, attacks on minority groups and
the general use of legalized violence
can result only in feeding the flames
that such methods are alleged to
quench.
eve propose the immediate restor-
alton of free speech and assembage
and other civil rights confident that
the people are able to determine for
themselves the value of political, eco
nomic, and social theories We pro-
pose the government ownership of
transportation and natural resources,
and a tax on land out of use, because
we believe that in no other way can
full production be achieved and profit
eering ended We recognize the right
of labor to bargain collectively and
participate in the management of in
dustry, because we are not afraid to
apply the democratic principle to ouI
every day affairs That men and women
who earn their living by work of brain
or hand will continue much longer to
intrust their affairs to politicians in,
capable of understanding the most ell
cmentary facts about American life
seems scarcely credible.
+ Our experience in presenting our
platform to all sorts and conditions of
pople iustifies our confidence that the
time is here for a determined political
drive upon the stronghold of privilege
This will succeed as the individual un.
dcrstands the responsibilities of Amer
lean citizenship in the present crisis
