JAPAN'S ASSENT.

Naturally the administration is
to discuss Far Eastern and Pacific
questions at the disarmament con-
ference.
A report has it that someone in
high position remarked that Japan
had done a very graceful thing in
its manner of full acceptance.
graceful thing when the doing Of
it does not bind that country to any
definite stand. It is not well to dis
count the pleasure which her accept
ance and her manner of accepting
brings, but it would seem that there
is no occasion for undue enthusiasm
over that manner of acceptance.
There is attached to the communica
ton a final paragraph.
1t is said that this paragraph is
treated by Washington merely as a
suggestion. That remains to be seen.
1t remains to be seen whether or not
the paragraph will play a more i'm
portant' part in the conference than
official Washington would have it
seem it believes.
The introduction of agenda of
problems such as are of sole con-
Germ to certain particular powers or
such matters that may be regarded
accomplished facts should be scrup-
u1ously avoided is Japan's "opin-
ion' as expressed in the final para
graph to which reference is made.
In view of Japan's previously dis
closed desire to have the scope Of the
matters to be discussed settled it will
be interesting to see what questions
that country considers as being mat
ters to be "scrupulously avoided
1t will be interesting also to see
whether or not this paragraph is con-
sidered by Japan to be merely a "sug-
gestion'' as 1t seems to be viewed in
Washington, or an absolute limita-
ton as far as Japan is concerned.

"PLEASE,"

Comment has been made that the
people of New Britain do not say
Please" in calling number over the
telephone, while this courtesy is prac-
ticed in other cities.
While knowledge as to whether this
is the general habit or not is dis
claimed, it may be said that the cour-
tesy would be appreciated by opera
tors, but it is a question whether or
not the telephone company would
care to have the additional time taken
which would be required were users
Of the telephones to make it point
to be excessively polite in their con-
versations with the operator.
There is a way, however, to avoid
the difficulty, and at the same time
exercise the spirit of courtesy with
out consuming any extra time.
The operator invariably repeats the
number desired by the person who
calls for it. The operator apparent
ly expects that person to indicate
whether or not the proper number
has been repeated. Often the user

LOCAD INSTRUMENTATION.

The women of New Britain, in no
great numbers, but with sufficient en-
ergy to indicate the probability of
tine results, have taken up the matter
Of Americanizaion in a way that Is
most wise.
It is not the fault of the foreign
born that they take hold of American
ideas with difficulty. Generation after
generation of ancestors have lived and
died knowing nothing of the traditions
and the manner OF thinking which
comes to the American from the day
of his birth.
It is hard, therefore. to fully Amer
icanize the foreign born adult.
The first trouble comes from the
fact that the language he learned in
childhood was not the language of thi:
country. Coming here, ignorant OF
that language, he imbibes slowly the
teachings that come to the Americau
almost by right Of birth. The language
Of those whose duty it is to teach
right thinking and right living ac-
cording to American standards il
scarcely understood by him, although
he may be of fine character and habit
according to standards which are no,
American.
The first aid to Americanization
therefore, is the learning of the Ian
yuage we speak. The earlier in lif:

NEW YORK AN ISLAND?

Dear Editor:
Kindly print in your newspaper the
answer to this bet if you can answer
it. The bet is:
A. claims that New York city is
surrounded by water and is therefore
an island
3. says that it is not surrounded
by water.
Who wins?
New York proper, (Manhattan), is
surrounded by water, although there
are soc districts which are one the
mainland. The city Is located on a
long island, bounded upon one side
by the North river which also is the
Hudson, upon the other by the East
River. The Harlem river and Spuy-
ten Duyvil form a connecting link
between these two bodies of water,
running from point near .125th
street on the East river to- about
21Sth street on the Hudson side. A
wins III our opinion.
