AMERICAS POLICY
TO JAPAN UNFAIR
And Unchristian Discrimination Ac-
cording to Rev. Dr.. Frank Heron
Smith, Methodist Missionary.

Chicago, Aug 6.--America't policy
toward Japan is one of unfair and un
Christian discrimination, the Rev. DIR
Frank Heron Smith, Methodist mis-
sionary in Japan for 10 years, declared
here today as he left to return to ths
Orient.
"Just so long as we persist in our
attitude, just that long will there be
dark cloud of possible trouble hang.
ing in the Oriental sky" he added.
"The challenge of Japan is not a
challenge to fight. / was sent to
America by our mission and by the
Japan Methodist church to tell you
that Japan does not want war but a
square deal"
DIR. Smith suggested that the solu-
tion of the question might lie lin the
decisive limitation of all immigration
and in requiring all who come to the
United States TO become truly natural
lied, honest to goodness American
citizens" Japanese are now forbidden
naturalization.
The missionary intimated he en-
dorsed Japanese a expansion in Man
ehuria and Siberia, movement whish
disturbed American thought. is it
not right" he asked, that Japan
should find outlet for her surplus popu-
lation in the west open spaces of Man
churia and Siberian What has Rus
sia with her penal colonies and her
bolsheviki ever doing for Siberia any
way and by what right does she hold
it?"
The final remedy for all friction, DR..
Smith said, will be in Christianizing
Japan. He said the way for missionary
effort was especially clear there. "No
mission field treats missionary as
well as Japan treats us, he said, "and
no people love their missionaries as
the japanese love us.
THE anti American feeling does not
seriously interfere because the leaders
of the Christian movement today are
Japanese and because the Japanese
know that the American missionaries
know them best and are thus their
best advocates"

TWO ATTACKS ON
INDUSTRIAL COURT
One by Labor and the Other by Capi.
tai, Says Judge Higgins of
Kansas Court.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 6.--An outlin'
of two alleged fights being wageC
against the Kansas court of industria
relations. one by labor and one by cap
ital, and their apparent purpose was
prepared here to-day by w. L. Hug
gins, presiding Judge of the court.
Following his statement, Judge Hug
gins said that the chief policy of the
court was to hew a line between the
opposing interests which would be
equitable to all.
The statement covering both cases
follows in part:
The contract which the miners un.
ion officials were able TO make with
the operators with the aid of the fed
eral government provides wage of
$3.50 for an eight hour day for com
mon labor. The operators claim that
the efficiency of this class of labor is
now fifty per cent of what it was five
years ago. This contract, ok'd by the
federal coal commission, expires next
April and il may be that the president
of the district fears some interference
on the part of the state Of Kansas
when the contract is to be renewed
This may account for Mr.. Howat's
strenuous efforts to obstruct the in
dustrisl court and destroy the indus
trial law. That is one phase of the
question.
"The other phase, now very promi-
nent, is the one which the employers
of labor are litigating in the state
supreme court, the right of the in
dustrial court to FIX a wage of So 20 for
an eight hour day in the packing in
dustry for men and women who are
working on the killing and cutting
floor under conditions which tan better
be imagined than described
"The people pay the price of the
miners wage and waste as well as
the profit to the producers and deal
er when they buy coal and they pay the
price Of the packing house workers
wage when they buy the products Of
the packing plant" Il
