OPPOSE ANGLO-JAP PACT
ATTITUDE NEW ZEALAND
AND AUSTRALIA
People Want Their Islands To
Remain White Mans
Country
[Associated Press Dispatch. !

London, March 16-New Zealand
and Australia, says Sir John Findlay
are strongly opposed to the renewal of
the Anglo Japanese treaty and he
wants the home government to bear
that fact in mind whe the question Of
the renewal of the treaty comes up
for settlement. Sir John is one of the
leading statesmen of New Zealand.
With Sir Joseph Ward he represented
New Zealand at the last Imperial
Conference in 1911. He is now again
in Lodon.
"The people of Australia and New
Zealand have made up their minds
that their islands must remain a white
mans country" he says in the Rail-
Mall and Globe. The IS not my opin-
ion merely; 1t is national conviction.
They do not want emigrants from
China, Japan or India. The color bar
is definitely fixed and Is fundament,
al feature of our Constitution. We
want the British Empire to recognize
that fact and to respect 1t.
Japanese More Aggressive People
'It is apparently difficult for the
government of the mother country.
and possibly for the people, to realize
how great is the color question with
us New Zealanders and Australians.
The Chinese come to us in small num-
bers, and we want their numbers to
iminish rather than increase.
"The Japanese are more aggres-
sive people and constitute our great
est menace. We want the imperial
government to understand this mat
ter more thoroughly than it does.
The Japanese peril is there all the
time.
ait has now come to this: New
Zealand and Australia-for in athis
matter we are all of one mind-object
emphatically to the renewal of the
Anglo Japanese treaty. When that
treaty was made there was some ex-
cuse for 1t. Russia was threatening
India, while Germany was threatening
Europe and America was too much
concerned with the Monroe Doctrine
to be depended on. The German and
the Russian menace are now removed
and as for America, she is now ready
to make common cause with us over
the Japanese peril. So there is no
justification for continuance of an
treaty.
"The subject came up before the
last Imperial conference, and in the
coming conference I have every rea-
so to believe 1t will be one Of the most
important questions for consideration.
This time 1t will have to be thrashed
out thoroughly"

HAMON EVIDENCE ENDED

defendant. The defense had its
ception noted and formally rested
The state began presentation OF Its
buttal testimony by introducing Sam
. air, newspaper man, VINO obtain
ed an interview with Clara Hamon at
chihuahua City, Mexico. He said he
saw Clara Hamon first on the night
OF December IS, 1920, and saw her
twice later.
Asked regarding any statement the
defendant may have made regarding
a will left by Hamon, Blair said he
brought up the subject and that Clara
said she believed there was will and
that il was being kept hidden until
after she might be tried. This story
was taken up point by point. Blair
asserted the young woman had said
in substance what he had reported.
S. Prince Freezing, state attorney
general, in charge of the prosecution
offered as part of the trial record a
copy or a newspaper containing Blair's
report. The defense objected and was
sustained.
Taxi Driver On Stand.
Erwin c. Daniels. Dennison, Tex
as, service car driver, said he had
driven Clara Hamon from Dennison to
Dallas, and that on the trip he had
seen a pistol in the defendants hand
bag. The spectators laughed when
Daniels replied:
Did YOU ever see a taxi driver who
wasn't" when Mr.. Mclean on cross
examination asked if ''he were not al
ways in a receptive mood wnen a
passenger offered larger fare than
the regular amount
He brought another laugh when, in
describing the man who had him come
here to testify, he referred to a nous
tache. '.as he had them little under
his nose"
The state rested at 1925 a. m. and
the defense announced it, too, had
completed its case. Court immediate
ly recessed until afternoon to permit
the Judge to prepare his charge to the
jury. Today seemed quiet and draggy
after the. startling developments of
yesterday which piled on in rapid sue
cession.
Nurse Is Recalled.
Miss Rose Cannon, nurse at the
hospital where Hamon died, was re-
called to the witness stand. She said
she had not told Errett Dunlap that
she had been surprised to see Clara
Hamon come to the hospital as she
had thought Clara had gotten out of
Ardmore the previous night, and that
Clara's arrival made her nervous.
Mr. Dunlap was called to the stand
and testified that Miss Cannon had
made to him the statement which the
young nurseja minute before had de-
MED.
DIR. Walter Hardy, recalled to testi-
fy said that Miss Cannon had said
after Clara left the hospital that she
would have given her life to have
heard the conversation. DR.. Hardy
identified a plum colored suit as that
worn by Mr. Hamon when he came
20 the hospital. Th suit was intro
duced as evidence.
In her testimony yesterday, Clara
said Mr.. Hamon had not worn that
suit, but had worn blue suit.
In objecting to the Introduction of
Blair's printed interview as evidence,
defense counsel said there were parts
of it they questioned and that anyway,
Blair was on the witness stand and
could be examined and cross examin-

Harvard.
The tooth, which is nearly foo,
long and several inches thick, was
found with other fossil elephant
bones while the Rutland Railroad was
being constructed across the slope oi
Mount Holly, a few miles south ol
Rutland. Never before had the re-
mains OF fossil elephant been dis
covered in the Northern states.
Samuel Henshaw, one Of the pro
moters of the railroad, gave the tooth
to Professor Louis AgassiZ, the great
Harvard naturalist, to serve. as the
first specimen In the newly opened
museum. However, instead Of being
placed on exhibition it was sent tC

obtained the other elephant remains
and was writing books on the sub
ject OF mastodons. No steps were
taken for its return to Harvard and
1t remained in DIR. Warren's collec-
tion.
In 1906 the Warren collection was
bought by the late J. p. Morgan and
presented to, the Museum Of Natura
History of New York. Last year
Walter Granger of the New Yorb
Museum discovered that the tooth
had originally been presented tc
Harvard and really belonged there
Thereupon the Museum authorities
returned it to Cambridge, together
