Washington. D. C., May i6. 1924.
 The attention of the Senate this week was called to the industrial de- pression in Putnam hy Senator Walsh of Massachusetts.
 The Massachusetts senator read a press dispatch stating that one of the Putnam manufacturing companies mills would be idle in a few days.
 Senator Walsh was speaking in be- half of his resolution, which was adopted by the Senate, calling on the ariff commission to furnish various in- formation with bearing on the pres ent New England textile depression.
 "0f the 200. 900 workers in New Eneland's cotton plants only a few aee receiving a full weeks work the same situation exists m the textile industry in the South, but not to the degree and extent to which unemploy- ment prevails in New England. l believe the industry is depressed throughout the world, but there seems to be an impression in some quarters that importations of cotton cloth from abroad are responsible. We should know if it is a fact.-the least We can do is to make whatever contri- buttons they can In ascertaining all facts. and aid with constructive sug- gestions." declared the Massachusetts man.
 Mclean on Tax Bill
 The tax bill is now in conference. with Senator Mclean one of the com ferees who will do all he can Go restore t to some resemblance of the original Mellon plan.
 But prospects for success in this direction are not bright. The bill passed by the Senate was much unlike the Mellon bill and there is a good chance that the Democrats and radical Republicans will insist that this meas ure be adhered to by the Senate.
 Senators Mclean and Brandegee voted for the bill as passed by the Senate, but Mr. Brandegee served notice that if the measure was not improved in conference he would op- pose it on the final vote. It is under stood that Senator Mclean holds a good teul similar position. as do other New England Republican senators.
 Senator Mclean recently declared if his belief that the Japanese exclu- sion clause passed by the Senate fur nished q grattu0us insult Co a friend ly nation and cannot help but harm our relations with Japan and endan- ger the products of the Washington Arms Conference"

Chinese as well are insulted. They
feel that the new law is reflection
on yellow peoples"
Miss Parkhurst travelled more
tran 1000 miles in Japan and spoke
to approximately fifty audiences of
teachers and others interested in ed
ucation. Her lectures were trans
lated, she said, by the interpreter
who travelled with the crown prince
of Japan in England and with the
Prince of Wales in Japan.
"The japanese are not so bitter
as they are hurt" said Miss Park
hurst. "They don't ask more ia
vcrs of us than other countries do,
but they do ask fair chance TO
work out with us the problem of
immigration / believe most of the
Americans in Japan feel, too, that
we have given the japanese bad
deal. Courtesy is the backbone IF
Japanese customs and indirection is
their method. They simply don't
understand our hammer-and-tongs
method of attack. They feel that
we have belittled them in the eyes of
the world.
Razzes Congressman
at seems to me that we are ir-
desperate need of some real states
men. It's too bad that few Ameri-
can Congressman can't be induced
to visit Japan and become acquainted
with the people. In my audiences
in Japan / found larger number of
Intelligent, educated people than in
my audiences in many other
countries. Everywhere I was treat
ed with extreme courtesy, although
in many places the feeling against
America was very strong. There was
also much talk of boycotting Ameri-
con products and substituting the
manufactures of England and Ger
many. On the whole it seems to me
that we have put ourselves in a
frightful situation"
