No Need in Worrying

for censorship.
This resulted from exclusive contract the corpora

handles all radio messages to and from Japan, at rate
of 81 cents word compared with five cents to Honolulu
and six cents to Manila distance almost equally as
great
This fat contract Shortrdge claims, the club used
by the Japs to demand the right to antJapanese
speeches made from the stations here
1t is only of number of hidden methods the Japa-
government has taken in its fight to prevent its
subjects from being cassed by this nation in the
migration bill.
These included the hiring of former Attorney General
Wckersham fresh from the cabinet to fight the battle
of the Japs in Washington They included the organiza
ton of peace societies financed by Japan, and primarily
intended TO disseminate Jap propaganda. Into these.
under the lure of titles and medals many Americans of
standing enrolled, and they shouting the
