Scatheless

Lord, I am. humbled by the great,
For all the great have deadly foes;
There Is worm would like to eat
The heart of every perfect rose:
There is a crow would like to pick

And for my death they do not care.
My enemies still suffer me
And l am scatheless to this hour.
Men hunt upon the hills of time

Phelan Favors Revocation of Gen
tlemen's Agreement"

Former Senator James D. Phelan,
in a statement issued here last night
as a representative of California in
question, discussed the letter from
Congress by Secretary Hughes and
declared the "gentlemenS agree
ment" between Japan and the United
States, which the ambassador de-
Tended should be revoked"
The most important question in
volved, he said, is not that the
Japanese population in California has
more than doubled since the agree
ment became effective in 1908. but
that the United States should not
delegate it's sovereign authority to
another nation" 1t is apparent from
the ambassadors letter, MIR. Phelan
said, that in seeking inclusion OF
Japanese under the quota provision
of the immigration law, the "one
thing for which he is seriously con-
tending is that Japanese be put ION
an equality with Europeans"
BY making legislative acknowl-
edgment of the Japanese conten-
tion for racial equality, the state
ment said, Japan would win its case
recognition of a principle which was
denied it at the Paris peace confer
ence.
Summing up his position, MIR.
Phelan said: ut is neither a ques-
tion of superiority. equality or in
feriority. but purely one of race di-
vergence which prevents assimila- =
tion, and this is something Congress
cannot cure"
