JAP PRESS FLAYS
 PRESIDENT OF us.
Bitterly Attacks Him for Signing
 Exclusion Bill
R The Assnciate cd Prcss.

Br The Associated Press.
 Tokio, May 2S. --- A bitter cdi- torial outburst marks the final enactment Of the American inn migration bill, including the eA- clusion of Japanese. A majority of the newspapers express dlsappoint- ment with the action of President Coolidge and call his statement fol- lowing his signing of the bill nncon- >incing and nnsatislactorN
 "rhe statement" says the Hochi, ''may satisfy America, but never the Japanese. If the president had been Of the same calibre as Lincoln he would have hraved opposition and vetoed the most unreasonable legis- lation congress ever passed. The president, however, has Japanese sympathy, since he did his best under the circumstances to oppose the anti Japanese agitators.
 "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 international good faith and the grave consequences which Ambassador Hanihara pre- dicted will undoubtedly follow"
 President Coolidge's statement is mere diplomatic courtesy in an effort to explain exclusion to this country. We must declare to America that Ja- pan cannot and will not accept such injustice. Our government must take decisive measures"
 The Ashai says:
 "It is too bad that Japan had to be struck by stone thrown by wayward child. The child is prob ably not aware Of the consequences, but that does not alter the fact that these may be of the grayest pro- test is now as useless ss potring water on ducks back,
 "The nation must encourage the government to take more practical steps. The signing Of the bill by President Coolidge was fatal blow to Japanese friendship. The president is thorough politician. His chief motive in signing the bill was fear of alternating support for ms presidential campaign. Coolidge is to blame for lack of moral courage"
 The iii shimpo is disappointed in the president "who failed to carry out a policy that he knew was just and fair" The paper notes with "a heavy heart the grave consequences that are likely 10 follow unless pru- denee and restraint is exercised on both sides. II rays that the action of congress does not represent the will of the American nation and urges con- ,inued appeals to the American con- science.

opened until Christmas.
Concerning the method of wrap
ping parcels. it is urged that all
articles that are breakable should be
Grated or wrapped in strong paper
and tied with heavy twine.
The address should be written in
plain manner and should include
the street and number in addition to

The local postofice is preparing
for the largest Christmas business
ever handled here.

SALT HAY HARVEST

Delaware exchanges report salt
nay has again been gathered in
large quantities this season from the
marshes along the shores of the
Delaware river and bay, the farmers
taking advantage of the extreme
dry weather to haul it to the up
lands without the necessity of SO
much temporary bridge building as
IN the past.
Thousands of tons of the salt
hay in the aggregate have been cut
and stacked. This hay is used ex-
tensively on the farms for bedding
purposes for stock and also for COW
erning cold frames by early truck
growers. -
Marsh owners who can gather a
crop of salt hay from their marshes
In the late summer or fall and then
trap muskrats from the same
marshes during the winter, say they
have land that is productive of pro-
hts all the year around.
