tires upon the quota basis.
The meeting decided to recommend
the establishment of a commission,
to be composed of secretaries of the
interior, commerce, labor and agri~
culture to authorize admission Of
classes of Mexican laborers
1t was decided to bring this pro-
posal before the house immigration
committee tomorrow. 1t was agreed
that the present restrictions govern
ing the admission of Mexican labor
ers must be liberalized if the indus
tries represented were to obtain la
Dor enough to harvest their crops.
1t was explained that the head tax
and, other fees required expenditure
of SIS by each Mexican before he
may enter the United States, pric J
prohibtively high for the poor clasa-
es. The proposed commission would
have discretion to lift such taxes.
Twenty states were represented,
most of them interested in the beet
sugar industry. Arizona and Califor-
MIA are concerned with cotton pick
ing. Delegates said the situation was
acute, as it seemed impossible to
find enough white labor to do the
onerous work of beet harvesting or
cotton picking, and Mexican labor
he'd dropped 65 per cent within the
last year.

TOKYO, Jan 2S.-Viscount T. Kato
premier, is dead.
Viscount Kato was taken i'll last
Saturday with influenza. While his
physicians said hts condition was not
serious they were watching him
closely and would not permit him TO
attend the session of Ghe diet. on
Tuesday in view of the likelihood
of his prolonged absence from the
diet, the cabinet appointed r. Wakat-
suki, minister OF home affairs, to act
as premier temporarily. The latter
is leader Of the Kensekai party.
Viscount Takaaki Kato Prime Min
lister of Japan since June, 1924, was
born January 8, 1853, at Sayamura in
Aichi prefecture. He was adopted
into the family of Bupachiro Kato.
He graduated from the law college
of the Tokyo Imperial University in
1881 He entered business as a. clerk
for Mitsubshi and company for whom
he served a few years as manager or
the Hokkaido branch.
Kato entered the service of the
foreign office in 1887 and was ap-
pointed private secretary to Count
Okuma, then foreign minister in
1888. Later he was transferred to
the financial department and pro-
NOTED to be director of the banking
bureau; then of the taxation bureau.
He returned to the foreign office
and was appointed minister pleni-
potentiary to England from 1894 to
1898
/ The late premier became minister
for foreign affairs in the Ito cabinet
rom 1900 to 1901.
! The viscount was appointed am
bassador to the court of st. James
soon after this and served in that
capacity until 1912. He was mem
i ber of Prince Katsura's third cabinet
as foreign minister again but re-
signed soon owing to the sudden
downfall of the ministry.
He was elected a member of the
house of peers in 1915. He was
leader of the Kensei-Kwai, or con-
stitutional party, at the time of his
death.
| According to the Japanese news
papers the premier died early this
morning. The entire cabinet assem-
bled at the official residence of the
/ premier ana later rendered It's reSlg-
nation. There is much speculation as
to who will be new premier.
The diet has adjourned
Eearly this morning members of
the imperial family sent wine to the
official residence where the death
took place. This is the invaria BILE
custom in Japan when death is inn
minent. The imperial physician was
also dispatched to the preimier's bed

ton, speculation narrowed down to
the question of what form of ac-
ceptance it would receive.
Opinions differed. Some military
chiefs, familiar with. army practice
believed the resignation would be
accepted as presented. Others pre-
dicted it would be endorsed to show
that the acceptance was "for the good

While Secretary Davis gave no
clue as to what his recommendations
to the president would be, it is un-
darstood that he is inclined to favor
acceptance of the resignation as it
is, disregarding othe .good of the
service" issue, unless the legal op-
inions he has sought run counter to
that procedure. 1t is pointed out in
this connection that the fact, re-
corded on Colonel Mitchell's service
irecord, that he resigned after he had
been convicted by court martial and
sentenced to FIVE years suspension
from rank, duty and command, would
Ibe of itself sufficient to allow the
good of the service" stigma to be
ignored.
Details of Colonel Mitchells future
plans were lacking tonight, due to
his refusal to make any public an
nouncement before final action on his
resignation is taken. His closest
friend, however, furnished the foun-
dation for reports that he has en-
tered into a contract for a nation
wide lecture tour and later plans to
hunt big game in Africa.
1t remains certain that the air critic
will utilize every means at his COM
mand to carry on his crusade for
unified air service and to bring about
revolutionary changes in the present
administration of aviation by the army
and navy departments.
If accepted, the resignation will
provide a way out of the tangle, in
which Colonel Mitchell became in
volved as a result of his persistent
attacks on the two department and
his ardent struggle to have air power

There was time when you had

You could have used one of the

Time quickly seems to erase
memories of the late world war;
the worlds greatest tragedy, where
you were either an actor or a spec
tator. If you were spectator you
seen the 'bloodiest drama that the
human race has ever seen or been
cursed with.
I say with no small amount Of
pride, that it was my high privi-
lege, to have been a member OF
the U. S. Army and to have mingled
with and so happily associated
with these splendid fellows dur
ing the late war. One will not un-
derstand fully unless he served
what it meant to return to his
homeland.
My own experiences were rather
tame, but the record of the army
and navy was one of brilliant sue
cess and no reverses. this highly
desirable result was because the ar
tisans of our factories were super
ior to those of the enemy, that our
transport did not fail us, and that
the splendid American women, in
whose heart passion for victory
burned as f1ercely as it did in the
veriest doughboy, did her bit in a
way that would do credit to Spar
tan mother. and assisted those who
did the fighting.
Let us hope we will never again
be involved. I remember my own
emotion when at dusk we arrived in

if lighting the way and seeming to
speak: welcome"
I stood there unashamed with
tears in my eyes, tears of gladness,
and offered a silent prayer, thank
ing a Divine and Merciful Provi-
dence, that He had safely brought
me back home and a prayer for
those of our buddies who had join
ed that silent division, from which
there was no return and who were
left behind and for whom the last
taps had been sounded At that
time and in these terms I thought
of my native heath, my country, Gas
each day passes, love you more,
more today than yesterday, less too,
than tomorrow"
AS a fitting concluding verse, let

With invited guests to listen in
on the speechmakers at prOmin-
ent banquet, Smith was again on
his best behavior as a radio opera
tor, but his best proved to be rath-
er feeble. He blundered from the
very beginning by giving his audi
ence a taste of the clarity and vol
ume from nearby station, there
by putting them in a bad mood for
listening to a distant station that
naturally would call for closer at
tentiOn.
His next mistake was to wait un-
til the speeches commenced before
tuning in on the desired station. 1t
was not so much that he missed
some of the opening remarks be-
cause of the time consumed in tun-
ing, but mainly that he doubled his
difficulties. There had been several
opportunities to tune in on the sta
ton before the broadcasters switch
ed the control from the studio to
the banquet hall, but each time he
dialed for the station and caught
a vocal selection he told his audi
ence that he hadn't invited them to
hear music and that he would hold
off until the real show was on.
Had he used the finale of the vO-
cal program for tuning in on the
station, he would not have been so
completely upset by local station
that suddenly came on at the ap-
pointed time for the banquet ad-
dresses. This confused him to a
point where it was ten minutes be-
fore he could locate his desired
station we'll enough to know that
when he was cutting out the local
station he was not also cutting out
the banquet.
The chances are that if the set
had been all tuned for the banquet
the local station would have come
in as a sort of obligato. And it
would have been relatively easy
with so selective a set as his to
have tuned out the local without
losing the banquet at the same
time. Going at it the way he did
he was virtually trying to catch the
obligato of a distant station thru
a broadly tuned local one. That is
always difficult.
But my troubles had only be
gun" Smith told me the next
evening. mo sooner had I dem
onstrated my inability to make a
good job of tuning for the distant
station than one of the guests

sought to help me out by suggest
ing that we be content with the
local program. I thought that
would be easy, but when l brought
it in clearly l noticed that some
of the people looked annoyed. The
tones were harsh and there was a
lot of static, but l had to let it
go at that.
"Of course | tried plugging in
so as to cut out one of the am
plifier tubes, but while that elm
mated the noise it also eliminated
the detail. One of the women pres
ent insisted upon hearing the words
of her favorite song, so 1 went
back to the full number of tubes
and turned down the rheostats as
much as l could without spelling
it altogether. 1 know they didn't
like it, but what else could l do"'
"You could have been little
more experienced" I told him
frankly. Perhaps you think that
you're wasting time some evenings
when you tune in on nothing III
particular, but by now you prob
ably realize that this gives you
practice so that when you have
company and want to show them
what a good set you have you need
not get off that old story about
the radio being like a bashful
child. In this particular case if
you had been little more expert
enced you would have solved your
tuning and volume problem with
the local station by first tuning it
in sharply on all the tubes and
then throwing one of the dials off
a little. By detuning, so to speak.
instead of reducing amplification
or current, you could have had
volume with clarity"
Smith, however, had too or three
other troubles on his mind, and we
had to run along to these. They,
too. involved experience, but he de-
cided to try little intensive radio
ing while he was on the subject.
1t explains why he was game
enough to admit that he finally
spoiled the evening by dropping 2
radio amplifier tube when he had
removed it for inspection of the
contacts.
"This was my spare tube that 1
had installed just few days ago" >"
he explained, so I was up against
it."
''For what?" I startled him.
For a tube, of course"
