EXCLUSION OF JAP
NOT UNUSUAL Law


San Francisco.-In a statement
signed by officers of the American
Legion, the State Federation Of La
Dor, the state grange and the native
sons of the golden west, these citi-
zens declare that the pending immi-
grafton bill does not single out the
Japanese for exclusion.
sThis provision applies to all the
yellow and brown races, comprising
about half the population of the globe,
and includes Hindus, Malays, Chinese,
Japanese and Filipinos- of which the
Japanese constitute only small frac-
tion," the Californians state.
s'The provision is in strict accord
with the federal law forbidding natur-
alization of certain aliens, passed in
1890, which law has not been changed
in this particular, nor has complaint
in regard to this law or its effect on
the Japanese people been made by
Japan at any time until within the
past few decades, since she started
her policy of colonization in the
United States.
"Since Japan insists that this coun-
try should not enact legislation which
will bar her nationals, even directly,
as immigrants, it is proper to point
out that Japan excludes as immi-
grants to her country the Chinese
and Koreans-thereby discriminating
against her own color. Her claim
doubtless true-is that such a policy
is demanded by the interests Of the
japanese people"

WILL Mr.. BELACO QUIT7
David Belasco, whose pictures al
ways make him look like clergy
man, says he won't, deal with the
Actors Equity Association. He'll
Quit first.
ssYou can't organize art" chimes
in newspaper paragrapher whose
ignornace is most profound.
Well, the Actors Equity doesn't
try to organize art, but it has organ
lied artists and given them hold
on life which prior to organization
was constantly threatened by the I'M
scrupulousness of managers.
If Mr.. Belasco would rather quit
than be fair, the sooner he quits the
better. If he can't continue under fair
conditions, with fair treatment of the
people of the stage, then it is to be
hoped he will quit.
The public, victimized by CONNER
cialized stage and box office that
frankly plays the game with scalpers
in many cities, can afford to be gen.
erous with its sympathies with the
one force that is capable Of freeing
the stage of art. That one force is
the Actors Equity:
Mr.. Belasco's position is to be re-
GREETED, naturally, but it would be
even more regrettable if the actors
were to submit to his dictation. The
people of the stage are not going to
return to the old days of unbridled
exploitation.

AMERICA NEVER WAGED WAR
ON CHILDREN.

This sentence from an address by
General Henry T. Allen is the slogan
of the American committee for the re-
lief Of German children, which is ask
ing Ohio to share in its work of feed
ing six or seven million children who
are facing starvation. The former
commander of the American army of
occupation himself opened the COM
mittee drive for subscriptions in Co.
lumbus this week. ,"If the men of the
army can forgive the fallen foe and
aid him, how much more should the
civilian do?" he said. eve who serv-
ed for four years, who lived in the
houses of these people, knew how true
are the tales of dire need and suffer-
ing coming from that country We
know how desperate is the situation" /"
The facts are much worse than
most of US have imagined. One-third
of the entire population of Germany,
mostly the salaried class, is without
employment. Infant mortality has
increased 20 per cent in three months
tuberculosis among children has in
creased 16 per cent since last April.
Few if any of the children over four
years of age in the cities have tasted
milk since 1914 unless they were sick
in hospitals, and the milk available
for children is so poor that it could
not be sold legally in Ohio. The milk
supply in cities is only one-tenth of
the pre-war supply. One newborn
institutional care. Three hundred
thousand children get but one meal
day, and several hundred thousands
are SO weak they cannot attend school
at all. One-quarter of the nations
population is dependent on govern
ment or private charity. The govern
ment dole is only 18 cents day,
whereas loaf of bread costs Is cents.
The fund which General Allen is
helping Ohio raise will be admins
tered by the American Friends service
committee. This is assurance that
the money will be made to go as far
as possible and that the work will be
done as well as human hands and
brains can do it. The Quakers have
engaged in this work in Germany and |
eastern Europe ever since the war
and have won the admiration of the
world by their intelligent and de-
voted service.-Editoria Youngs town

and working conditions
On page two Of the January bulle-
tin of the Employing Printers Asso-
citation of America, an "open shop"
organization, an article, headed "Shop
Labor Intrusion" warns "open shop"
employers of the danger of harboring
union members and advises them to
keep in mind "that any member of a
labor union is one of the worst La
bilities that could attach to his plant !"
So the Pharisees are advised in the
rarefied atmosphere of the Atlantic
Monthly that the open shop secures
to all men equal opportunity to work, 2
while tectical instruction to employ
ers at the front restrict that broad
statement by excluding union MEM
bers.
The paradox thus exposed certainly
gives support to the union contention
that the so-called "open shop is in
reality the only kind in which any
men are denied the right to work.
Any man proficient at the craft at
which he wishes to work can easily
qualify himself for employment in a
"closed shop" by joining the union.
The shop committee idea, advanced
by the Atlantic Monthly's contributor,
is quite obviously impractical. The
employees of one shop cannot enforce
demands for improved conditions be-
cause they always lack means for a
successful strike. They will receive
no assistance from fellow workers in
other shops. The one-shop organiza-
ton plan, therefore, is only scheme
for reducing all working men to inn
potence in order that employers may
practice any sort of profitable op-
preston they may fancy.

that If the policy Of the government
upon vital questions affecting the
whole people is to be irrevocably Ak
ed by the decisions Of the supreme
court, the instant they are made in
ordinary litigation between the par
ties in personal actions the people

ers, having to that extent practically
resigned their government into the

HYPOCRISY AND HYPOCRITES
With the abolishment of the law
that stated no person could vote unless
he was the owner Of real estate, the
die-hard predatory interests inserted
a patriotic clause to the effect that
man to be eligible to vote, must
pay poll tax for the privilege of
going to the polls and voting. State
after state finally removed this bar,
and in recent years about the only
states that still use this form of bar
ring the worker from voting are what
is known as the southern states.
We have no particular fight with
the "brains" of the Southland, but
we do question the sincerity of their
work. They have refused to pass
laws prohibiting the employment Of
babies and children in their mills.

STRIKES HAVE COST NOTHING
Oh, juniper berries! Here we have
the good old National Association of
Manufacturers out again. They're
telling all about the horrifc cost of
strikes once more. Strikes in 1928
cost $703, ,839,575, say the N. A. M.
figure wizards.
This is all very pitiful. What ex-
pensive business it is! The satisfying
of the human demand for justice sure
ly does cost money. Money is the
only medium that the N. A. M. under
stands. That's why it counts strikes
in terms of dollars. That's why it
forgets that strikes are agencies of
that they keep the bosses
from swinging the lash, that they give
children more and better food and
more freedom, better
wages, better homes and a better |
.hance to think and grow wise.
Strikes have not cost America any,
