I'm March he stated that it was
very unfair and misleading to say
that the public school and the paro-
chial school were merged in some Sec

records have apparently convinced him
now that he was in error on this score.
He now states that the French Catho-

are not opposed to prohibiting the CIV

British Not Eager
To Buy Diabolical
Ray of Inventor

to the fact that the air ministry had
not seen its way clear, without a fur
ther test of it's own choosing, to pur-
chase his "diabolical ray" H. Grin
dell Matthews left by airplane for
Paris today with the announced in
tention OF endeavoring to sell it to a
French firm.
Mr.. Mathews got away for France

sued by the high court restraining
him from selling his secret until con-
sent had been received by him from
claimants to ownership in the death
day" amounting to 81 percent of the

|, The air ministry tonight issued a
statement saying the demonstration
that Mathews gave yesterday Of his
invention consisted in lighting an
"osglim" electric lamp and stopping
at will a small motor cycle engine
from a distance OF, fifteen yards. The
demonstration was carried out by
Matthews in his own laboratory.
The departmental representatives"
says the air ministry's statement,
"were shown nothing which would
lead them to credit the press state
ments as to the possibilities Of the
invention, and the conditions under
which the demonstrations were made
were such that it was not possible
to form any definite opinion as to
the value of the device"
"Mr. Matthews was accordingly Of
fered an immediate opportunity to
demonstrate the stopping by means
&C his ray of a small petrol motor,
such as an ordinary motorcycle en-
gine, to be provided by the govern

any information as to the means by

JAPS HOLD HOPE
EXCLUSION ACT WILL
BE REPEALED

Toxic, May 27.-(By A. P.)-Signa-
ture of President Coolidge on the new
immigration bill does not settle the
question of Japanese exclusion, from
the point of view of the Japanese gov
eminent. 1t was indicated here today.
Belief that the immigration bill,
with it's clause excluding aliens ineli-
gible to citizenship such as the jap
anese, did not represent the senti-
ment of the American people as a
whole was expressed by high official
In an interview granted the Associated
Press today.
I'VE know that the present American
administration is opposed to the ex-
clusion clause, both from the presi-
dents statement and the attitude OF
him and Hughes throughout his con-
troversy," he asserted. And we under
stand that conditions in this Congress
have been abnormal. We believe that
exclusion does not represent the will
Of the American people.
I'VE still hope something can be
done to undo the action of Congress
and wipe out this condition which the
Japanese consider unjust and an af-
front to our nation" he went on.
Sustained by this hope, the govern
ment Is holding to a policy of restraint
and dignity and is trying to maintain
this attitude for the whole nation. We
are doing our best to avoid anything
petty, any small retaliation, embargoes
or discrimination against Americans.
"In this policy the government has
the support Of all responsible elements
in business and civil life. 1 believe
that Thus far we have succeeded in
maintaining a dignified national atti-
tude."
The authorities frankly admit the ex-
istence in certain quarters of a desire
to retaliate in q small way, but de-
clare that such retaliation will con-
tinue to be opposed in every way by the
Japanese government.
