JAPAN GETTING
ACQUAINTED WITH
OFFICIAL u. S.

WASHINGTON. June 1S.--Ob-
servers here of the trend of world
affairs are becoming impressed with
the evident desire of Japan to get
acquainted with America.
While some rather jingoistically
regards this with apprehension, the
general opinion among officials and
members of congress here is that
Japan is taking the right means Of
making the United States and it's
people known to Japan and its people
and that, therefore, it is by that
much diminishing the danger of
serious difference between the two
nations.
The evidence of the Japanese de-
sire to get acquainted with America,
what ever the purpose may be, is
seen here in the presence constantly
of substantial contingent of Japa-
nese newspapermen. The visitors
register in the senate press gallery.
their names, show that during the
present and the last session of con-
gress fifteen Japanese journalists
looked in on the senate.
This is remarkable when 1t is con-
sidered that from no other nation
have their come half so many jour-
nalists in double that length Of time.
English journalists rank next in num-
Der, but the register shows fewer
than half a dozen of them. That
1t is apparent to observers here that
Japan is sending her trained observ-
ers to this country to go among the
people, ascertain sentiment, and go
back home better qualified to inter-.
pref American attitudes and policies.
The visiting Japanese do not re-
main long in Washington. For the
most part they stay here two or three
days or week, and then go to other
cities. Many Of them have toured
the country virtually from end to
end. Those who while here express
ed any sentiments regarding things
American, most politely indicated
that what they saw pleased and in
terested them. AS to anti-Japanese
sentiment, or hostility, they have
little to say. One or two of them,
however. have stated while here that
except for certain localities, they
found no such feeling.

PARIS, June IS. The oldest
"poilu" cot the great war, Monsieur
Surugue, mayor of Auxerre, in Bur-
gundy, has just died.
He was Is years old when the
mobilization call came early in Aug
ust 1914. Far beyond military age,
the rugged old mayor signed up as
a volunteer, and by dint Of bluffing,
ca joling and threatening the Army
doctors, finally got himself accepted
for the service.
And he didn't have any rear-sine-
cure, either. From 1914 until early
1919 he did the. dirty work Of a
private, then of corporal and SER
geant, in a fighting unit, and went
over the top with all the rest of the
bright young men.
He had great civic reception in
1919 at Auxerre, when covered with
mud and glory, he marched into his
neglected town hall, displaying his
Croix de Guerre, Medaille Militarie,
and Legion of Honor. Latterly the
proved more detrimental to his ro-
bust old frame than snow Of Douau-

80 the grand old man has finally

Credit Men Defend
Federal Reserve System

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1S.-De-
claring that the federal reserve sys-
tenn presented panic in this country,
the committee on banking and cur
rency presented report to the con-
vention of the National Association
Of Credit men in which attention IL
called to the Importance Of prevent
ing political meddling or any other
type of interference that would d.
minish the powers Of the present eff
ficient administration of the act. The
report said in part:
1.-THE Federal Reserve system has
been exhibiting abilities to protect
and support sound business during
periods of storm and stress even
greater than the trainers of the Act
could have anticipated. Rapid defla-
ton is inevitably attended with great
danger, but through the most violent
defation in mans experience, the
Federal Reserve system has seen
commerce successfully brought back
to what are felt to be sound condi-
tions. The administration of the
Federal Reserve system has been con-
Quoted ON a high plane free from po-
litical bias and all suspicion Of Sec
tional or class favoritism and control.
"The defense Of the par collection
system Of the Federal Reserve banks
has long been special obligation
resting upon the National Associa-
ton of Credit Men,"
A report will be made tomorrow
expressing confidence in the benefits
Of the Federal Reserve Bankruptcy
Act as applied to the commerce Of
the nation by the Bankruptcy Law
Committee tomorrow. The report
will also suggest several amendments
t T., the present law.
