CHICAGO, Aug. 8.-Americas pol icy toward Japan Is one of unfair and un-Christian discrimination, the Rev. Dr. Frank Heron Smith. a Methodist missionary in Japan for IS years, declared here today as lie left to return to the Orient.
 Just so long as we persist in our attitude. just that long will there be a dark cloud of possible trouble hang ing in the Oriental sky" he added.
 "The challenge of Japan is not a challenge to fight. I was sent to America by our mission and by the Japan Methodist church to tell you that Japan does not want war but a square deal"
 Dr. Smith suggested that the solu- ton of the question might lie fin the decisive limitation of all immigra- tion and in requiring all who come to the United States to become truly naturalized. honest-to- goodness Amer ican citizens" Japanese are now forbidden naturalization.

"Is it not right" he asked. that ,Japan should find outlet for her Surplus population in the vast open spaces of Manehuria and Si- beria? What has Russia with her penal colonies and her BolsheviG ever done for Siberia any way ana by what right does she hold it?'
 The final remedy for all friction. Dr. Smith said. will be in Christian izing Japan. He said the way for missionary effort was especially clear there No mission field treats mls sionaries as well as Japan treats us. he said, "and no people love their missionaries as the Japanese love us.
 "The anti-American feeling does not seriously interfere because the leaders of the Christian movement today are Japanese and because the Japanese know that the American missionaries know them best and are thus their best advocates"

Oil Shales of Western States May Hold Major Oil Sup

WASHINGTON. Aug. 8.-Recent in vestigations by the U. s. Geoloel ;al Survey are held by it's experts to indicate that, in. the Rocky Noun ain states, there are enormous quanti- tics of oil shales which can be male to yield hydrocarbon oils to a much greater extent than we can hope to obtain from our oil wells"
 The shales are said to constitute tremendous potential oil reserve.
 "The oil shales of this country says the report. contain enormous quantities of oil, but large amounts of money will have to be invested before the oil shaIe industry be, comes of commercial importance. Els inmates by various engineers of the cost of a complete retorting plant, handling 1000 tons daily. are be- tween $4,O00,000 and $5,000, 900.
 Requires Money
 Tn this country the oil shale in dustry cannot be developed over night and probably cannot attain success until large sums of money have been spent in perfecting min ing, retorting and refining methods. A company to be successful when ever oil shale operations become commercially feasible, must be able to employ the best technical. busi- ness and engineering skill available, be prepared to operate on large scale, and be financially strong enough to wait several years for any large return on the money invested" :"
 The report declares that it Is "un- fortunate that large number of the many companies organized to deal with oil shale are dovoting their eff forts to stock selling rather than as sisting in building firm basis for the industry"
 Summary of Report
