increase the time for attendance of
children in the primary grades to

BELIEVES JAPAN WILL ACT
IN GOOD FAITH WITH U. S.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 4.-Re-
lief that the government and people
of Japan will acquiesce in good faith"
if Japanese immigrants are excluded
from the United States was expressed
by John H. Small. representative. of
North Carolina, who arrived with the
congressional party which has been
touring the far east.
"As to further immigration from
Japan to the United States" state
ment by Representative Small said. ait
must be conceded this is domestic
question entirely within the control Of
the United States. l am sure the
Japanese understand 1t and only OBJ
ject because of the discrimination in
volved. If the existing 'gentlemen's
agreement is not effective, certainly
some mutually satisfactory agreement
can be reached, which will prevent the
entrance of any .=~anese.

WOULD TAKE TAXES OFF
REALTY MORTGAGES
Local Dealers Suggest Way to Pro-
cure More Money for Build
ing Purposes.

Advisability of seeking exemption of
real estate mortgages from municipal
and fede- al taxation as a possible
means for securing more money for
building will be discussed today BY
the housing committee of the Real
Estate Brokers' Association at its
first formal meeting, at o'clock in the
office of H. L. Rust, 912 18th street
northwest.
Many local realtors believe that by
eliminating the federal income tax
and the municipal intangible tax from
mortgages the building situation will
be relieved greatly, it was pointed out
today by Charles w. Fairfax, chair
man of the committee. It is con-
tended that If Congress really desires
to solve the housing problem they
should first of all make the field Of
real estate investment more attrac-
tive than 1t now is.
A large number of letters which
have been forwarded to the commit
tee by the real estate editors of the
local newspapers, laying bare the
actual demand for houses in Wash
ington. will be tabulated and care
fully studied.

Two Sentences In Article Y,
Article \ only consists of two sem
fences. The first is the pledge of each
nation to respect and preserve the
territorial integrity and political in
dependence Of all nations in the league
against external. aggression The sec
ond sentence. however. limits the first
sentence and sets forth the only way
in which the pledge can be carried
out or made effective. 1t cannot be
carried out by an order of the league.
1t cannot be carried out by one nation
appealing to another. 1t cannot be
carried out by one nation voluntarily
going to the aid of another. 1t can
only be carried into effect in case the
nine nations in the council unanimous
ly agree and advise" the nations of
the league what should be done They
cannot order; all they can do is to
advise, and even the advice cannot be
given except by unanimous vote.
THE United States being one of the
members of the council, even the ad-
vice cannot be given unless the United
States agrees to 1t. Hence the United
States not only has the full decision
as to whether it will go to war, but
it has a veto on any other nation
going to war to carry this pledge into
effect.
