Jnbans Objection

Japan has expressed willingness attend the dsarma
conference proposed by President Harding but bak
over settling the far eastern problem at the time hold
that the Shantung Yap questions settled by the
peace conference.
Japan cannot be blamed for taking this stand for Japan
more than other nation concerned with this problem
indeed is Japans problem and to the settlement of
her desnies to the nations of the west asking good deal
The president made mistake in coupling two seperate
propositions together for disarmament thing and the
Asiatc question another and quite distinct One thing at
time is good rule and disarmament is big enough
thing to tackle at one time Coupling the two together
likely to defeat both.
AS matter of fact if the president has followed the Borah
resolution and confined the conference the limitation of
naval armament there would have been better chance Of
success for all the nations agreed upon this follow
ing the reduction of the naves the reduction Of armies would
naturally follow The problems of the Pacific cannot be-
defnatey settled without Russia but the reduction in
questions.

To the Editor - For many
years, through the kindly offices
of the press, we have been able
to make an appeal to the public
for canned fruit and vegetables
to be sent to the Louise Home for
girls, and for the older children
at the Albertina Kerr nursery,
We have now 144 mouths to
feed three times day. 1t is a
big task.
Inasmuch as we answer calls
from girls and babies in distress
from every part of the state, it
calls for statewide interest. The
allowance made us by state aid
provision does not begin to meet
the expenses of the upkeep of the
homes in our care.
1t is our aim to give these girls
and babies, who often come to us
in run down and under nour-
ished condition, wholesome food,
Of which fruit and vegetables
form a large part.
VIII you kindly make a strong
appeal through your paper to the
women of church organizations,
women's clubs, canning clubs,
Junior Red Cross societies, camp
Tire girls, as well as interested in
to get together and
send us shipment. Fruit, vege-
.ables, potatoes and eggs are
leeded. We use fourteen dozen
Eggs week for the babies alone.
Address, Pacific Coast Rescue
