RACIAL EQUALITY HOPE
STILL HELD BY JAPAN
Viscount Uchida Says Proposal
Will Again Be Introduced
in League Council.
By the Associated Press.


TOXIC. January 22.-That Japan
has not abandoned her racial equality
proposal was made clear by Viscount
Uchida, minister of foreign affairs,
who in answering inquiries in the diet
today, said it would be introduced in
the councils of the league of nations
if a suitable opportunity presented;
otherwise it would be withheld. The
matter was most important and must
be presented at the right moment.
At all events, the minister declared
Japan had no intention to cease its
efforts, even if it required years. He
was confident of final victory.
Ryutaro Nagai, a youthful repre-
sentative. who won siderable po-
litical fame in the diet last year. at
tackled the foreign Office for neglect
ing to secure the insertion of a gen.
eral land ownership clause when
the Japo-American treaty was nego-
tiated. and thus prevent anti-Japan-
csc legislation.
Viscount Uchida explained that the
omission was inevitable. Such pro-
vision would require reciprocity, and
Japan did not permit foreigners to
own land.

Proposed New Law to Insure
"Truth in Fabric"

HELENA. Mont. March 2.-while
Federal experts have awaited results
of many and tedious experiments
made with a view Of proving how
much of virgin wool or shoddy is in
a piece OF cloth before introducing in
Congress the much talked OF truth in
fabric" law. Montana, through Henry
G. Rogers, Of Beaverhead county, has
gone ahead and started such a meas
ure through the Montana assembly.
The bill Is aimed to require every
manufacturer Of cloth in Montana and
every dealer handling any commodity
which purports to contain wool. to
stamp or tag every piece, bolt or
package with q mark showing the
name and place of the dealer or manu-
facturer and the percentage Of wool,
silk, cotton, or shoddy.
Under this measure every dealer is
to be licensed and is penalized for
failure to be licensed and penalized
again II he fails to comply with the
law. Under the terms of the proposed
bill the commissioner of agriculture
and publicity will administer the law.
and Is empowered to call upon textile
experts of the Montana Wool Growers
Association to assist in determining II
