U. S. Attitude Toward Japanese.
MY point of view as expressed to
Mr.. Norris" continued Baron Shide-
hara, was that America, in dealing
with her Japanese population, well
might consider our mistake respecting
certain part of our population. It
seemed to me, and so stated, that an
attitude of sympathy, of welcome, of
invitation to assimilation, might yield
a result Numerically different from
that of an attitude of coIdness or per-
Secution or oStraciSm. Parentheti-
cally, 1 would say that l personally
have been surprised by what l have
seen in evidence of Japanese assimi-
liability to AmericaniSm. l have seen
in Toxic a group of American-born
Japanese children who amazed me by
their likeness, in dress, speech. and
manners, to American children. These
little visitors of Japanese blood could
not speak word of Japanese.
Your Ambassador. Mr.. Norris" the
foreign minister went on. raised two
points in criticism of conditions in
Japan relative to the relations of
America and this country. He liked
neither our law of nationality nor our
law of property affecting aliens. At

self, that isolation had stimulated
rather than shaken his national and
racial confidence, and that the at
tempt to exercise control or perma-
nent supervision over him would be
disastrous in the end. because, while
seeking to maintain physical disarma-
ment, 1t would create a moral arma-
ment which in the end would triumph
over any and all restraints.
This fact, too, has been pretty
clarly seen and appreciated in Europe
in France almost as much as in
England. Back of all the discussion of
security pacts lies the sublimal
thought that, once the pacts are made
and signed, liquidation of the whole
war will and must follow fast. Even
the actual value of security pacts is
not oyerestimated on the other side
of the Atlantic, where it is appreciated
that the true worth will be determined
quite as much by the state of mind
of the Signatory nations as by the
fact of the signature.
The evacuation of the Rhur, the
evacuation of the Cologne zone, Ger

Whatever may be the outcome of
the war so dramatically staged by
-Abd-el-krim and his tribesmen, it's
surprising lessons are not likely to be
lost upon those responsible for the
future military and colonial policies

assuming, in many unexpected ways,
the aspect of a well developed ard
grimly humorous paradox.
In challenging the overwhelming
military strength of France. this

wherein all the progress made in the

Why Worship at the yShrines of Egypt?
America Had Civilization as Great

IN Yucatan, half hidden by
l. tropic jungles, sleeps the
ruins of a great American civ
ilization. It f1ourished and pros
pered before the time of Christ.
1t rivaled the grandeur of an
cient Egypt.
But, although it contributed
to the history and development
of North America, its ruins
stand today almost unknown
and practically unearthed.
American scientists and phil
anthropists have poured time
and money into Egypt Amer
lean tourists have gone in pill
grimages to pay homage at
Egyptian shrines. American
women h ave copied ancient
Egyptian styles. Meanwhile,
the Maya temples and shrines
have slept peacefully beneath
their green growth of jungle.

this ancient American civiliza-
ton known to the world. That
man is Edward H. Thompson,
and in the accompanying inter
view he tells the graphic story

Many Dogs in Germany
Work for Their Living

Germany is the country of many
dogs-big dogs, little dogs. long legged
police dogs and legless dachshunds.
On the average one German in every
Is possesses a dog. In Berlin the pro-
portion is 1 in II and in Cologne
l in 10.
For licenses for these dogs large
sums are paid. OF Germany's 900 900

these recurring anniversaries repeat
themselves that at its inception the
foundations of our Government were
laid upon an unchanging and abiding
Christian faith. Human conceits and
Ambitions played no part in the setting
up of this great western republic. No
untempered mortar was used in Its
foundations. Ae we review our brief
but singularly momentous history we
are more and more impressed by the
fact that in the crises through which
we have passed the leadership of the
Nation has been with those whose faith
in the everlasting mercy and provi-
dence of God was fixed and unchang-
ing. It is well at such a time as
the present to look unto the rock
whence we are hewn," and to remem-
ber the quality of the stock from
which we have sprung. If we would
preserve intact the fabric of our ma
tional house we should Sedulously
avoid those who, assuming the role of
leadership, attempt to introduce for
the sake of selfish ambition untemper-
ed mortar that is foreign to our ideals
and high purposes.
There are those in our national
household today who would import
into our system principles and
methods that are utterly alien to our
trusted and tried ways of government.
The untempered mortar they would
employ is imported from those
nations whose traditions and ideals
are utterly foreign to those for
which we stand. We would say to
all such who would daub out national
walls with untempered mortar that
the work they attempt to do shall
fall. The craftsmanship we demand
we are able to produce within our
own confines. We ask for no inter
brook no unskilled craftsmanship
from within.
America more than any other
nation has become an asylum for the
oppressed and down-trodden of the
elder world. It's flag shelters and
protects native and alien alike. AS a
symbol of national faith 1t represents
freedom and justice. To protect all
that it stands for and symboliZes
from indignity and proclamation is the
supreme obligation of all who believe
that the security of our life resides
in unfailing devotion to the principles
and ideals that gave us our birth,
saved us from disunity, and have
made and preserved us nation. We
mean what we say when we place
upon our coins I'm God We Trust"
Our growing fabric will hold to-
gether only as we build our walls
with the cement of brotherly kind
ness, and square and plumb them in
accordance with the known will and
purposes of Almighty God.

ARLINGTON BRIDGE
PLANS OUTLINED
All Bids to Be Let in 80 Days,
Col. Sheriff. Tells
Rotarians.

In an address before the Rotary
Club yesterday. Lieut.. Col. Clarence @.
Sheriff.. director OF public buildings
and public parks. announced that
every major bid for the Arlington
Memorial Bridge will be let within 30
days. 1t is hoped that the bridge will

Col. Sheriff. outlined vivid pro
office, for not only completion of the
struction of public stadium with a
seating ca pacity of 100. 900 persons. a
scenic boulevard making Rock Creek
and Potomac Parks one great park
system and the creation ofadequate
bathing facilities.
1t Is hoped, Col. Sheriff. said. that
the presence Of the bowl would at
tract to Washington international
athletic contests, such as the Olym
pic games, and such national attrac
battles as the Army Navy foot
ball game. The international pole
matches would also probably be played
here from time to time. he said.
This stadium Col. Sheriff. con
tinued, would pay for itself in n year
One foot ball season was enough to
pay for the stadium at West Point
To meet the expense Of building the
bowl. Col. Sheriff. said he believed the
issue of bonds would suffice. The
speaker pointed out that bonds for
such tremendous athletic field
should yield rich interest, and eX
pressed confidence that the people
here would take them up.

CAR MERGER SEEN
AS TRAFFIC RELIEF
Would Better Service, Popu-
Iarize Trolley and Reduce
Parking, Says CoVeII.

A merger Of the street railway
lines. by bringing about rearrange-
ments and improvements in serv-
ice. would induce many of the work
ers who now come downtown in pri-
vate automobiles to use the street
cars. in the opinion of Maj w. E. R.
Covell. Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner. assigned to utility problems.
Maj. Coven voiced this conviction
today in commenting on the finding
of Mcclellan & Junkersfeld, trans
portation engineers, yesterday that
one-fffth of the working population
of the city travels to and from the
places of employment in private au-
tomobiles.
Would Popularize Cars.
"A merger, by furnishing better
and faster transportation. and per-
haps cheaper car fare, will undoubt-
edly stimulate street car riding and
tend to lessen the proportion of the
population using private automo-
biles." Maj. Covell said
This, in turn. he said. would help
to improve the automobile parking
problem in the downtown section dur
ing the working hours of the dav.
Maj. Covell said that if railway
service can be adjusted through a
merger so as to enable persons who
now use private automobiles to get
to work in almost the same time
they will use the street cars oftener
The major said the length Of time
may not be brought down 10 an
equivalent with the time required for
an automobile ride. but that IL could
be made neraly the same when allow
ance Is made for the time 1t takes a
motorist TO find parking place.
Bell Sees Improvement.
Engineer Commissioner Bell agreed
with Maj. Covell that the main ad-
vantage of a merger would be in i'm
proved service, which, he said. should
stimulate street car travel. Col. Bell
said merger probably would not
mean an immediate fare reduction,
but that it would tend to reduce oper-
ating costs and lead eventually to a
lower fare.
A simplification of the transfer ar
rangements now prevailing between
the companies was cited by Col. Bell
as another way in which a merger
could be made to stimulate car riding
The entire report of the transpor
tation survey has not yet been made
public, but as soon as 1t has careful
study of it will be undertaken TO de-
termine whether it points TO mer
ger as a desirable move.
