statement today.
Oppose Fare Boost.
The Washington Railway and
Electric Company has practically
said. that II the Public Utilities Com.
mission refuses to allow them to put
on any more one-man cars, they viii
seek higher street car fares" Mr..
Clayton said.
IF, in that event, they are en-.
titled to have increased fares, and
don't believe they will be entitled.
there is no reason why fares of
the Capital Traction Company
should also be raised"
Mr.. Clayton said the federation
would vigorously oppose any raise
in street car fares In Washington.

1t appears today as II the com.

President Berry Says Change
May Be Made It Expense
Is DisaIIoWed

The continued operation by the
Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company of radio station
WCAP may depend upon the out
come Of the Public Utilities Com
mission rate hearing on Novem-
Der 10.
II the Commission eliminates
the expenses of the broadcast
station from the phone COM
pany's operating expenses, tele-
phone officials may move the
station out of Washington.
They'd Hate To Do It.
1--WE would hate to discontinue
WCAP," A. E. Berry, president Of
the phone company, said today. 1--WE
feel the community wants this sta.
ton. Its advertising value to Wash.
ington is beyond valuation"
Mr.. Berry pointed out that other
/ stations in the C. & p. territory
would like to get the station.
II do not believe, however. the
Public Utilities Commission win dis
allow the radio expenses he con.
tinued.
Mr.. Berry expressed the hope that
In time the local radio station would
be self-supporting, pointing out that
In other cities these stations pay
expenses through charging various
corporations for the use of the
radio.
In Doubt Of Action.
President Berry was asked
whether the station would be dis.
continued IL the commissions action
was averse to the company's opinion?
I don't know what we would do, -
he replied. eve would have to stop
and take account"
It has been suggested that the
cost Of the radio station be divided
among consumers outside Of Wash.
Ington, but In the territory of the
G. & p. Company. Another sugges-
ton was that the cost Of the sta
ton should be borne 10y the Ameri.
can Telephone and Telegraph Com.
pany, to which corporation the
local company pays Az per cent of
its gross revenue for rental of
telephone instruments and for re-
search work.
Mr.. Berry, discussing the pro.
posed reduction in telephone rates,
said:
Holds Rates Reasonable.
I'VE think the present rates are
reasonable and ought to be
sustained"
William Nick. Clayton, represent
ing the Federation Of Citizens AS
eociation, pointed out today that last
September the federation filed q pc
tition with the Public Utilities Com
mission for lower telephone rates
lie also said that the company is
earning return Of 1876 per cent
this figure based OF the deduction
Of the company's depreciation fund
from the fair value of the corpora
ton.
The report of Public Utilities ac
countants to the commission, IN
the telephone company, shows the
cost OF Station WCAP to be Silt, 900
1t further shows that it cost 100000
TO operate the station for the twelve
months ended August 81.

danger to the United States. This
formed the essential plea for the
exclusion of Japanese. 1t was not on
account of the inferiority. of the
Japanese race that the exclusion
clause was adopted.
Raise. Treaty Issue.
Secondly, it has always been con-
sistently maintained by the United
States that control of immigration is
one of the essential attributes of the
inherent sovereign rights of each ma
ton. The Importance placed on this
point by the United States Is due to
special conditions in that country.
We have no intention of calling this
doctrine in question. Recognition of
such principle does not lead to any
conclusion that the exclusion clause
is In no respect repugnant to the
treaty of commerce and navigation
between Japan and the United States.
Thirdly, it should be appreciated
that the President and the Secretary
OF State of the United States have
from the outset shown opposition to
the exclusion clause. Public opinion
In the United States, reflected in a
great section of the American press,
appears sympathetically disposed to
Japan's position. Our protest on the
exclusion clause is based on the con-
vtction that discriminatory treatment
trary to the dictates of justice and
fairness and is imposed upon US in
disregard of the ordinary rules of in
ternational comfy.
Legislation is now an accomplished
fact in the United States. but we can by

a purpose to maintain and strength
en- friendly relations with all nations
having important territorial economic
interest in the far east and on the
Pacific was expressed by Baron Shide-
hara, the Japanese minister for for
eign affairs, in his speech before the
diet yesterday. The text of his ad-
dress was made public last night by
the Japanese embassy.
At the same time, discussing the
japanese exclusion provision of the
new American immigration law, the
foreign minister said that I'VE can
by no means consider the question
closed" and that I'VE shall maintain
our protest and shall use our best
possible endeavors to seek an ami
cable adjustment of theSquestion and
insure forever the traditional friend
ship between the two nations
The text follows:
Peace, Not Aggression, Aim.
-The guiding principle of our for
eign policy is to safeguard and to
promote our legitimate rights and
of other nations, and to maintain the
peace of the far east and the Pacific,
as well as the general security of the
world. We are not Influenced by any
aggressive tendency or territorial
greed. There is no cause for appre-
hension that our discharge of this
duty might bring into conflict the
legitimate rights and interests of
others. 1t is the principle, live and
let live,' for which we Stadd.
81 feel certain that if all nations
will simply abide by the same funda-
mental principle they ought not to
dnd much difficulty in arriving at a
basis for solving any international
question with which they may be con-
fronted. The principle of continuity
of foreign policy does not mean that
methods for attaining definite OBJ
jects or even the objects themselves
should always remain unchanged. But
all official commitments given by one
government to another. whether by
treaty or otherwise, should on no ac-
count be affected by any change of
government or cabinet. BY a faith
ful observance of this principle can
national honor be maintained. Upon
II depends the peace of the world.
This principle we shall firmly uphold
and we trust our adhesion will be

reciprocated by other nations in their
dealings with us.
No Reason For Ban.
"The attention of the nation is
centered on the question Of the i'm
migration act Of the United States,
negotiations with the Soviet gov
ernment. and the general situation
in China.
''The genesis of the immigration act
lies in the marked increase of i'm
migration, especially from southern
and eastern Europe. 1t is generally
believed 1T would be matter of prac-
tical difficulty to merge these foreign
elements in a homogeneous communi-
ty of original Americans. 1t has been
felt necessary to impose a more rig
orous restriction of immigration. The
gentlemen's agreement has long been
in force and. consequently, the in
crease of Japanese immigrants to the
United States has not been an appre-
ciable number. The new act intended
rigorous restriction of immigration
in general. There was no reason for
embodying in the act a provision de-
signed specifically to exclude Japanese
immigrants. Three points engage our
attention.
First. exclusionists say Japanese
are unassimilable with American life

of interfering in questions of inter
nal politics. Nor shall we take
action disregarding the position she
justly enjoys. At the same time we
trust China, on her part, will take
no action compromising our rightful
position.
1T is our intention to promote the
economic rapprochement between the
Chinese and Japanese peoples subject
to the principle Of equal opportunity
in China
''The Chinest people will realize our
policy of fair and square dealing.
Treaties relating to China were
signed at the Washington confer
ence. They have not yet come into
force, but the principles that they
stipulate are in complete accord with
our own, and we are resolved to
abide by the spirit of those treaties.
I'VE shall not confine our atten-
ton to questions relating to the
United States, Russia and China.
Our efforts will be directed to main
tain and to strengthen friendly re-
lations with all nations having i'm
portant territorial economic interest
In the far east and on the Pacific,
and generally to do our whole part
in securing to the world the bless
ings of peace and stability"
