majority of the newspapers express
disappointment with the action of
President Coolidge and call his state
ment following his signing of the
bill unconvincing and unsatisfactory.
The statement" says the 1ochi,
may satisfy America, Sut never the
Japanese. If the President had been
OF the same caliber as Lincoln, he
would have braved opposition and
vetoed the most unreasonable legis-
lation Congress ever passed. The
President, however, has Japanese
sympathy, since he did his best un-

The point at issue is not the ad
mission of Japanese immigrants, but
whether Japan is accorded the same
treatment as other nations The
American action makes the Japanese
doubt the existence of interna tional
good faith and the grave conse-
quences which Amba ssador Hanihara
predicted will undoubtedly follow"
The Chugai Shogyo Shimpo says;

America that Japan cannot and will

"a heavy heart the grave conSe-

that the action of Congress does not

7LAND PROJECTS
 ON AT FAIRFIELD
More Than $1,OOO,OOO To Be Spent On De-
 si
 velopments
Fairfield Bureau

k The announcement that Dr. Charles J. Donald and associates had purchased the properties owned for years by J. W, McOueen and associates called atten- tion to the unusual activity which has featured the realty market here during the present year. It was stated Sat urday that over $1 ,000,O in land de- velopments, which takes into account only seven projects, has been spent during the first eleven months of this year as compared to less than 5 per cent of that amount for the entire twenlve months of 1923.
 The developments that have been launched include only the sale value in acreage of the properties involved plus the contractors price for install ing public service connections and grading. No account is taken of the in vestments made in homes or the mel dental cost of improvements made by individuals.
 The largest development is k;ven to Bush Hills, being developed by the Jemison interests, which is, said to ln- volve about $200.000 in preliminary work. This development has progress ed very rapidly. This is also true Of the others that have been launched in the western section of the community. A shortage of homes has been one of the influences that has brought about the enormous development. The influx of employees for the new plant IS ex- pected to bring that situation to an acute stage Aside from Bush Hill, it is stated that Dr. Donald and his as- sociates will spend about S15O,OOO on the preliminary work on the recently acquired properties. The same promo ter has spent $2O0000 in the develop ments at Central Park Highlands and has followed that up with a develop ment at Rutledge Springs known as Fairfield Highlands involving about $50,000.
 There has followed with amazing rap idity developments at Belview High lands involving approximately $loO,- GOO. The work at Virginia Heights, Fairfield Highlands and incidental de- velopments runs the total figure close to $1,000,00O.
