PASTOR DECLARES
ATTITUDE TOWARD
JAPAN is UNFAIR

Chicago. Aug. 6.-America's policy
toward Japan is n of unfair and I'M
Christian discrimination, the Rev. DR..
Frank Heron Smith, a Methodist
missionary in Japan for 16 years, de-
clared here today as he left to return
to the Orient. t
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 2 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 hat the solu-
ton of the question might lie 'in the
decisive limitation of all immigration
and in requiring all who come to the
United States to become truly natur-
allied, honest-to-goodness American
citizens" japanese are not forbid
den naturalization.
The missionary intimated he en-
dorsed japanese expansion in, Man
churia and Siberia. movement
which has disturbed American
thought. rs it not right" he asked.
that Japan should find outlet for
her surplus population in the vast
open spaces Of Manchuria and Siberia?
What has Russia with her penal col
9nies n her Bolsheviki ever done
for Siberia any way and 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. mo mission field treats mis-
aonaries as well as Japan treats u.s.
he said, land 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"
