John W. Davis, as "a progressive
Democrat" and his platform as the
most progressive platform covering
the tried and practical measures for
the economic freedom and prosperity

mulgated by a national political
convention"
He pledged all the energies of his
party to the outlawing of the war
system
While he did not mention spe-
officially his objections to the OBJ
servance of Defense Day. he said:
War propaganda. notifications,
demonstrat tons Of the civil and in
dustrlal resources of the country
when we are at peace with the world,
unnecessarily inf1ame the mind Of
the American youth, are a great eco
nonic waste and mislead the people
of other lands as to the peaceful and
friendly intention of the United
States Government and should be
discouraged by all friends of world
peace.
THE only hope of the world Is
found in the substitution Of the ma
chinery for peace in place Of ma

JAPANESE EDUCATOR SEEKS
FULL ACCORD With AMERICA

Los ANGELES. June 24.-Friend-
ship between America and Japan
would be enhanced by the spread
ing in Japan of the information that
the majority of American people
are not prejudiced against the Jap
anese. according to an opinion ex-
pressed here by DR.. Dan]o Ebuna,
president of the Dasshida University
at Kyoto, Japan
IF America, through her official
and unofficial representatives in ia
pan, fails to bi oadcast this desirable
information among the Japanese,
said DR.. Ebuna then it is probable
that my people, in view of recent
events. will imagine that America
is against them and will seek to
unite the entire Orient in senti-
ment unfavorable to the Occident.
! regret the new difficulty that has
arisen because of a possible mis-
understand between the American
people and the Japanese"
Since Japan forsook the customs
of the Orient 20 years ago. the edu-
Gator said, she has been following
the ways of America as much as
possible. politically, socially. econo-
mically, and even religiously, in spite

of the fact that Japan's attitude to-
ward western civilization was re-
warded by the suspicion and hatred
of China, Korea and other Oriental
countries.
When Japan turned her face
toward the Occident, iii feeling i'm
mediately spring up between Japan
and China" DIR. Ebuna asserted.
"China considered Japan an imitator
of the west. and Japan began to
look upon China as hopelessly
reactionary nation. | am happy to
say, however. that this i'll feeling
has largely disappeared and that
China and Korea are adopting the
ways of Japan.
'In their social life. as well as in
other respects, | find that your Amer
lean civilization has tended to ele-
vate greatly the Japanese people
and your criticism, as well as your
sympathy. has contributed to their
improvement"
