NOTABLE BOOKS
OF THE WEEK
How IL Seems to a Japanese

DR.. 7. lycnaga, PROFESSIONAL lecturer
in the University of Chicago, assisted
by Kenoskc Sato, formerly fellow in
the same university, has written book
on Japan and the California Prob
lem putnams) in which he has stoLed
the case from the point of view OF
Japan 1t is a most skillful example Of
special pleading in behalf of the Japa-
nese. The author assumes that the OBJ
lection to the japanese in California is
essentially racial. and he argues against
allowing racial antipathy to influence
the action Of the government. With
out entering into the question OF racial
antipathies, which every anthropologist
admits have affected events, it must
be said that the history of the hostility
to both japanese and Chinese in the
United States indicates that 1t has had
its origin in economic rather than IN
racial questions. The Chinese exclusion
laws were passed in response to the de-
mand of labor. which objected to being
forced to compete with the Orlentals.
The JapanCse will work for less than
the white laborers demand and they can
nroduce their Crops more cheaply than
the white farmers can produce theirs.
The economic objection is at present
stronger than the racial objection TO tne
japanese. DR.. lyenaga devotes consld-
crable space to prove that the japanese
can be assimilated in this country, NOT
through intcrmarriage with the whites,
but through their whole hearted ac-
CCptancc Of American ideas, and he
proves his proposition to his own sat
isfaction. His book ought to be read by
every one interested in the subject, Tor
il is an admirable exposition OF the
point of view of an intelligent Japa-.
ncsc who is willing to face. many OF
the facts and is seeking to JUSTIFY the
right of the members Of his race to
position of equality with the Whlte
races,

H|ROHITA HEADS JAPAN
Crown Prince Of Nipponese Is
Designated Regent.
M'kado's Mental and Physical condi-
ton Is Rapidly Becoming
Worse.

Tokio-Crown Prince Hirohito has
been designated regent of Japan.
Designation Of Crown Prince Hiro-
hito as regent follows reports which
have been in circulation for about
year that Emperor Yoshihito was in
bad physical condition. A dispatch to
"a Honolulu newspapers in May of last
year reported that he had suffered a
mental and physical breakdown.
Early last month rumor that he was
dead circulated in Toxic, and the i'm
perial household in denying It at that
time stated that he was so jill It was
feared he could not recover.
TIE emperor's physical and mental
condition had become aggravated, it
was said, and the difficulty he had ex-
perienced in walking and holding con-
.versation had been augmented.
There were signs that he had been
suffering from severe disease of the
brain, the imperial household stated,
and it was recalled that he was seri-
ously ill during his infancy and that his
malady had reoccurred after he had at
tanned his majority. Since his corona
ton in 1915, gradual weakening in
mind and body had been noted, said
the official statement, which concluded
by saying that the growing volume of
domestic and International business
was placing an increased demand up
on his time. Is

HARDING PROGRAM hit
Borah Denounces Proposed As.
ISOLATION OF Nations.
Idaho Senator Says Plan Same al
League Of Nations Under An
other Name.

Washington-Senato w. E. Borah
took up arms against President Hard
ing's proposed association of nations
which he asserts would entangle us
disastrously in another League Of
Nations under a different name.
":The proposed association of ma
TONS" he said, "has not yet been
reduced to form nor yet defined. But
from what one gathers here and there
it is the old League of Nations with
possibly some reservations under an
other name. 1t will be engaged in
precisely the same kind of work and
doing the same things that were pro-
posed by the league. 1t is not what
you call it, but what it is that counts.
l. see no reason therefore, why the
43 nations which have signed the
League Of Nations agreement, should
be asked to abandon it and transfer
their names to an association of ma
tons. 5 g..
IF we want to 90 into this kind of
proposition there is no reason why
we should not experiment with the
one they have. It is claimed by the
advocates of the league that the pres.
emit league has been of service to
Europe If so there is no reason for
asking Europe to scrap the old league
and try a new one.s If we are going
into Europe we ought to go in. If
we are not, we ought not to be hand
ing her a new league every &C days.
She will likely conclude that after the
next presidential election she would
have another league.
1T is also urged that. the interna-
tional debt could be more successfully
manipulated through the association.
All Of which things simply. disclose
that the association of atoms is an.
other name for the league with some
additional and more: extensive powers

them understand it's good if you want
them to buy it, and once they buy and
find out you re right they'll keep right
on buying it-and lots Of other things
along with it.
The way to create a sales demand
is to keep telling the story of what
you re offering in place where the
people you want to sell it to will see
it. Unless you impress it upon their
minds you haven It told the story fair
