JAPAN MAY

Ask for Racial Equality"

Toykio, Dec. 26-Japan may go to
the mat with the United States next
year-diplomatically speaking-in in
sistiug upon American recognition OF
fJapanese racial equality.
No official policy has been formu-
lated, bat some newspapers and poll
ticians are making quite clamor
and demanding that Japan make the
strongest representations to America
for recognition fracial equality.
The commercial treaty between the
United States and Japan expires next
year and negotiations Will then be
commenced for new treaty. A cam
paign has been started here, led by
Eotaro Mochizuli,. an opposition
party member of the house of repre-
sentatives, seeking to arounse public
sentiment in Japan that will cause
The government TO insist upon a ra-
cial equality clause in this CONNER
cial treaty.
Responsible government officials in
Tokyo are. so far, merely sitting tight
and refusing TO rock the boat.
They regret the United Supreme
Court decision in the Ozawa case that
japanese is not white person.
But they are hot under the collar

ION in the Ozawa case, that japanese,

Japan to take this question up with

On July 1st the Lakeland postofice will go into
first class division. This is made possible through
the business that that office has shown which
must exceed over $4,000 year in the general
business received through the stamp parcel post,
post card and box rent departments. During the
last year the Lakeland postofice has shown
big increase in business and Fort Myers has
helped to increase the work of that Office.
For time it has been the practice of
many misguided persons in this city to mail let
ters the train The railway mail clerks have
much to do they have no time to work this
train mail and they tie the letters in bundles and
turn them over to the posofioe at Lakeland or
the one at Tampa to be handled there The result
is Fort Myers gets no credit for this postal bust
ness as the mail does not go through its post
office; the busy railway mail clerks between here
and the end OF the division do not work this
mail and the Lakeland or Tampa postoflices, after
a delay of at least twenty-four hours, send out
the letters posted in this city.
Fort Myers is not jealous OF Lakeland becoming
first class postofice She ccngratulates her
sister city on her enterprise. This city hopes to
become first class postofice in the near future,
but to obtain this promotion the patrons OF this
postofiice must cooperate with Postmaster Cliff
Foxworthy, who is doing mighty good work with
the scant tools and limited force with which he
has to work.
The truth is. the present force of the Fort My
ers postofice is unable 10 meet the demands made
upon it in order to take care of the mail properly
and for that reason there are some delays that
can't be helped
The Kiwanis Club is cooperating with Post
master FoXworthy in the endeavor to improve the
postal service here Two additional clerks and
two carriers are badly needed ct once and addf-
tional postofiice boxes and an electric stamp can
ceiling machine must be installed here at once by
the federal government if the Fort Myers post
office is to function properly.
Fort Myers citizens can help a lot if they will
stop the habit of mailing letters On the train.
They are only "fooling Themselves as the letters
do not reach their destination promptly and Lake
land or Tampa gets the credit for handling this
volume of business.
Let's be the next postGficc in Florida after
Lakeland to get into the irst-the cty-class.
1t will be dead easy matter if everyone will
help.

pie to Lakeland for"abcut SIS days A conser-

left here is in the neighborhood of $3O,O00 That
one item offsets by wide margin the cost of op-
Grating the Chamber Of Commerce for one year
and juslihes confidence that the ground work is
being laid fer still greater achievements that are
even row almost accomplished facts Lakeland
will give the Clcye!aado cyal welcome The
weather data prepared l. mission to the club
managers showed that Lake - boasts of an ideal
winter climate for training purposes and that every
day here is good baseball day With the near
ness OF many other Big League clubs it may con-
hdently be expected that some great baseball events
will De staged here during the month Of March
Incidental mention should not be overlooked of
the fact that provided Lakeland can furnish ade-
quate additional hotel accommodation, the Phil
