TOXIC. June 23.-Several thousand
Japanese listened this week to an ad-
dress by Saburo Shimada, ex-speaker
OF the house Of representatives and a
prominent liberal. in which he attacked
! the policy Of Japan in its foreign reia-
tions. The meeting was held under the
auspices Of japanese Christians. with
the object Of discussing means OF i'm

the United States. and its organizers in
vited DR.. s. H.. Wainwright, a promi-
nent American missionary. to present
his views.
Mr.. Shimada declared that what he
had to say was not pleasant for Japa-
| nese to hear nor for a Japanese to
speak. He continued:
But we must take account OF our
present position. We were one Of the
five great powers during the European
war, but we have succeeded in gaining

by the Chinese and Koreans. Our an

clusion 10 not wholly Just. for Canadian
and Australian exclusion Is more rigid
than American exclusion"
Object to Lay Basis.
After citing number Of actions on
acterized adversely. he continued:
My object in saying these things is
to lay the foundation for a broader
and better national policy.
I'VE need to build up public opinion
| in Japan similar to the opinion now
being created in the United States for
the reduction of ornaments. for mu-
tual good understanding between our
selves and other nations, especially
between us and the United States and
for the encouragement Of the inter-
changes Of peace.
1T is extremely difficult to get the
American people as a whole to cast a
vote in favor of war, so great is the
| sentiment for peace in that nation.
Just such sentiment should be more
diligently fostered in Japan. Rivalry
| between Japan and America In battle

Certainly Japan cannot keep step in

supposition Called False.
I'VE must rid the world of the false
supposition that the growth and ex-

Wainwright
"The rise Of Japan as a selling ma
ton is not a menace to the trade of
others. Every selling nation is at the
same time a buying nation"
Both speakers were cheered heartily
by the audience when they declared
| for cooperation between Japan and
the United States in the limitation of
arm aments and in the cultivation in
| both countries Of ideals of mutual

The Washington Railway and Elec.
trio CompaAy today filed with the Pub
lie Utilities Commission a formal re-
quest that the present rate Of fare
be left unchanged on both street car
systems until Congress has enacted
the legislation intended to equalizs
the earning power Of the two COM
panies. " = i
In tho petition william F. Ham.
president. tells the commission he be-
lieves that the interest shown In the
street car situation by the District
indicates that legislation will be
enacted.
Petition Answers COmmissfOn.
The petition 10 In answer to tho an
nounced intention of the commission
to INQUIRE on Thursday into the JUS
tice Of the present rate Of fare. and
also IL in answer to the petition Of the
Federation Of Citizens' Associations
for a reduction in fare to the Capital
petition today, Mr.. Ham said:
"The Washington Railway and Elec.
tric Company is getting tired Of being
blamed for carrying long suburban
lines at a loss. and witsout thanks
from the people who have received
years at less than cost"
Mr.. Ham said that for the ysar end
ed May 81. the Washington Railway
and Electric Company earned q return
Of 6.23 per cent on the value Of its
property, which 10 now placed at
$17,204.437. This rate Of return
amounted to $960,927.64.
Reduces w. r. e. Returns.
He sae that II the commission re-
duces tho fare to Z cents. which Is the
lowest amount the Capital Traction
Company can operate with. the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany's rate of return would be reduced
to approximately per cent.
Such return. he states in the peti-
tion, would amount to coniscation of
property. the only remedy for which
would lie In a some system.
The president Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company de-
clared that his company Is able to
haul passengers at the same rate Of
fare the Capital Traction company
for the same distance the Capital
Traction lines run.
The difficulty Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company arises
from the fact. he said, that it has so
much more suburban trackage than
the other company.
