need for reform is patiently evident.
Mr.. .Bristiey said. and is plainly in

the commission more just, economical,

alton.
Although he expressed the belief
that the Dawes plan and the Locarno
treaty have gone a long way toward
StabiliZing trade conditions in Europe
and that our domestic affairs are in
splendid shape with every Indication
pointing toward Il continuation Of
the present era of prosperity, Mr.
Bristley warned the delegates against
the growing evil of the 'instaliment

1t appears from all indications, he
said. that purchases on the inStallment
plan in the United States will reach

as the rate is increasing all the time.
II appears that the Wage-earners are
simply mortgdging their incomes of
the future as Il contribution to our
present prosperity" 1t is evident, the
speaker asserted that this condition
will eventually work a series depreS-
sion on trade. and i'll the event OF any

EUROPEAN LABOR IS

Almost . year ago, a very unusual
Indian program was given before an
appreciative audience Of boys, their
parents and their friends. The pro-
gram was carried out in the Indian
fashion for this reason, the boys were
Of an organization called ''The Boy
Rangers" and were students of In
dian life and customs. A young In
dian talked awhile, telling of Indian
affairs both past and present with =
few legends delightfully."- intermingled.
AS he talked on, girl listened, fas-
cinated by his tales Of the great for

course still exist in most parts of
this marvellous northwest country. AS
he went on telling of the unlimited

in harmonious accord with nature.
Not very long after the event of
the program this girl had an oppor-
tunity to realize her dream. Mr..
Evan Sexsmith, who is the organizer
and leader of the Boy Rangers sug-
gested that girls organization along
the same lines would be appreciated.
Not one week had gone by before
there was a meeting of four or five
girls, for the most part sisters Of
the boys who were Rangers. They
talked things over and arranged a
regular meeting for the following

to raise their standard of living to
the American level" say he inves-
tigators.
It was found that the Japanese and
American farmers in many places
were cooperating and that in Wash
ington there is general good feeling
and mutual understanding; that the
Japanese do work the whites will not
do. They are doing the unpleasant
oyster fishing and farming lands
which the Americans do not know
how to farm or will not farm sue
cessfully.
Investigators found that economic
pressure and competition brought
friction and that cooperation causes
mutual good feeling. It is through
cooperation that hope is entertained
for easing the inter-racial strain.
The Japanese are urged to scatter
their vocations and reduce their prom
inence in the public eye.
"All of US in the survey" says DIR,
Park, "agree that further admittance
of orientals is mutually undesirable,
but we foresee no peril from those
already here and we are concinced
that these must be treated with JUS
tice and humanity if the white folks
of the coast are to keep their self
respect and do their duty touching the
problem of friendly relations among
the Pacific powers"

completion. The papOose tribe con-
sists of tots between 6 and 12. A

and to help the girl whose ambitions

The older girls win take up canoe

be taught at the summer camp; they
will take it up as a necessity because
they intend to live as nearly like the
Indians did before the white men
came as possible. The archery class
es will include the making of their
own bows and arrows.
Indian tribal dancing as well as
many other types Of classic and folk
dancing is the most popular study
among the girls. Nature study, as
tronOmy, physiology, camp craft,
swimming and diving are a few Of
the other studies the girls will con-
tinue. They seem to have the adj
vantage over the boys since they
can take up all Of their activities
and excel in them as well as in a
number of things that boys do not
care about. They are extremely
thankful to their brothers for. the

With sane, cool-headed men like
this working on the problem it seems
pity that the calamity shriekers get
the public ear so freely and the truth
is so obscured.
There are profiteers and jingoists
in Japan as well as in the United
States. They are supplied with much
that appears to be convincing ma
terial by the shallow and thoughtless
American press. With this they are
conducting an open propaganda whip

same as our munitions and supply
makers do here. They have their
equivalent to our propaganda through
preparation" days and defense"
days and such receptions, shams and
frauds. In order to sell and to make
profits these ghouls are willing to
set the people of two peaceful and
friendly nations at each others
throats.

What is back of the anti-Japanese
propaganda in America? This ques-
ton might be followed by another
one and the same answer would suf-
fee for both:
Who is fostering the spirit of ag-
gressiveness in American affairs in
dealing with other nations?
"Those who seek to make profits
out Of war preparations"
That is close to the correct answer.
It may be elaborated and much dis
cussion might arise over details, but
that is the truth.
How long can we continue this pol
icy without arousing other nations to
feelings of irrepressible anger and
ultimate reprisals?
With what feelings do the Japanese
statesmen and industrial leaders re-
gard the daily illusions of our lead
ing editorial writer's whose masters
have axes to grind?
What is the reaction of the Japan
ese to our playing war game in
their vicinity, with opposing forces
all but labelled Japanese fleets and
Japanese air forces!
Just how would it be received if
Japan did the same thing to us?
What do we think of the man who
is ever sticking his chin in our face,
with chip on his shoulder and q
swagger in his manner?
The American feeling is that when
a man approaches with a leer and a
dare and a threat he is deserving an
uppercut to the chin. Why does any,
one believe other nations are not
made of the same stuff?
Are not the Japanese entitled to
consideration of their feelings? Are
they to blame if they have been made
to feel much the same as France felt
over the attitude Of Germany?
It would be good IL we could con-
vince ourselves that this is not the
situation and not their feelings. We
can not.

It is the belief Of the writer that
he American people do not want a
war with anyone at any time. We
are a peaceful people but foolish
people. We are not weak in action
but we are supine in thought. We
permit our jingoists to make gestures
of aggression that are not backed by
the sentiment of even a small fraction
outside Of the profiteers themselves.
The rest of the country is given to
understand that here is a srong anti
Japanese feeling on the Pacific coast.
That is an untruth. The opposite is
the truth.
Recently fairly exhaustive expert
study Of race relations on the Pacific
coast removed the foundation for the
belief that there Is extensive race
hatred or hostile criticism Of oriental
immigrants and their descendants.
DR.. Robert Ezra Park of the Uni
versity of Chicago, research director
of the survey has organized the find
ing of scores of Investigators during
the past year.
The frat disclosure seems to have
been that the practical politician
proves a poor guide in the matter Of
race relationship; that he is quick to
capitalize prejudice and slow either
to hunt for or care about the facts.
The second discovery was that there
has been gross exaggeration in re-
gard to the birth rate among orientals
Which was represented as high and
increasing. It was found that the
birth rate was constant around 1 per
cent of population for 80 years and
that the fecundity Of the Japanese is
below that of the other foreign ele-
ments in spie of the fact that the
larger portion of the Japanese are in
their prime of child-producing age.
