Nllliamstown. Mass. Aug. 12-The
statement by Mr.. Hauihara, Japan
csc ambassador at Washington, that
the Immigration bill passed by the
congress of the United States would
have grave consequences not only in
his native land but throughout the
world, was reasserted by Yusuka
Isurmi, Japanese representative at
the Institute of Politics, in the first
of his series of lectures here tonight.
Taking his thesis that war is n
menace to civilization, Mr.. Tsurmi
predicted that in ten or twenty years
Japan would "be one of the greatest
if not the greatest of all outside fac
tors affecting American progress"
The grave consequences" of the
American immigration law in Japan
do not indicate a threat, Mr.. Tsurmi
said, nor does it mean that any in
telHgent person in Japan dreams Of
going to war with the United
States" 1t did mark. however. an
epoch in the development of Japan
csc policy, he asserted, in changing
the psychology of the japanese
people and the unfolding of drama
of international politics, in the first
instance on the Pacific stage and in
the second, on the world stage.
Spiritual values exist in Japan, Mr..
Tsurmi said, and then made, a plea
that visitors to his country seek
them rather than markets and fields
for missionary endeavor.

Harmony in Somerset

Tonight a gentle August rain des-
cended upon a Somerset county that
Is organized thoroughly for the big
political campaign that will culmi-
nate in the election of State ticket
on the eighth of September.
From a big Republican rally in
this section tonight. a crowd OF
workers and citizens in general
went home convinced that Maine
will be Republican when the votes
are cast. The conviction proved all
the more compelling because it had
been supposed that on all sides there
were discord. dissention and indiff-
erence.
But those feelings seem to have
vanished and tonight at Lakewood,
not even the most blase politician
could resist the impression that
Somerset county Is harmonious and
that the "whirlwind tour" of the
county made by certain leading can
didates today was productive not
only of good but also of genuine old
fashioned enthusiasm.
starting early in the morning at
Fairfield and ending at Lakewood
tonight, series OF seven meetings
were held in the southern part OF
the county. Those during the day
were addressed by Governor Perez
val 7. Baxter. Hon. Ralph O. Brew
ster. of Portland, Republican candi-
date for governor. and Hon. John
r. Nelson of Augusta, candidate for
Congress from the third district. In
addition to these. Hon. Bert NJ.
Fernald of Poland, candidate for l..
8. Senator, spoke tonight.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
all the meetings were well attended
1t is not over-enthusiastic to re-
mark that starting with an attend
ance of over 800 at Fairfield at Q
o'clock In the morning, the gath
erings at each place were much lar
ger than even the most ardent had
dared hope. What the crowds
would have been had there not been
