should be allowed to aliens i'm conson-
ance with the general progress of
international idea regarding civil
rights of aliens. AS far back as 1910
law was enacted by the Japanese
Diet to recognize foreign ownership
of land, but that law was found defec-
tive and unworkable. After repeated
discussions in the Diet, the new law
of 1925 was made. Before II could
that an imperial ordinance hereunder
should decide upon detail rules and
regulations for It's actual functioning.
Such imperial ordinance has been re-
Gently issued.
The imperial ordinance did not use
the power delegated to IT by the land
law to resort to reciprocal measures
for the country or parts Of the
country, where foreigners are more
or less abridged in their rights to own
land. Accordingly, Chinese can. en-
joy the ownership Of land in Japan
despite the fact that China does not
allow all aliens to own land In that
country. Nor are the citizens of the
States Of California, Oregon, Washing
ton and certain other States Of the
American Union, that do not recognizes
land ownership to Japanese, denied
the right Of land tenure in Japan.
Restriction Is Regional.
The restriction provided for In tho
imperial ordinance is only regional.
For an alien to acquire the ownership
of land in fortified zones, naval ports.
or other designated districts vital 70
national defense. the permission OF
the minister of war or the minister
of the navy should be obtained. Lease
may, however, be acquired without
any permission. Further In the com.
mercial districts Of the open ports OF
Nagasaki, Hakodate, Shimonesek and
Mogi, no permission Is needed to ac-
quire the ownership or the leasehold
Of land.
The new land law applies to Japan
proper, including Hokkaido, and the
Island OF Saghalin. In Korea aliens
rights Of land ownership have always
been recognized in the past and will
be so in the future. The Island oc

Consul General of Japan in New York.

Consul General of Japan in New York.
The new Japanese land law which
passed the Imperial Diet in 1925 and
was put into operation this month,
removes the age-long inhibition of
land ownership by aliens in Japan.
Aliens have so far been denied the
right Of land tenure through tradi-
tional practice. reinforced by the edict
of 1873, reading: Land or its title
deed shall not be made an object of
sale or mortgage to an alien Or aliens
In exchange for money or as security
Of loan"
In practice. however, foreigners
have enjoyed rights tantamount to
land ownership: for instance lease in
perpetuity. Moreover, in the form of
juridica1 persons, in which no Japa-
nese member need be included, they
could not hold land in fee simple.
But 1t was considered by the jap
anese lawmakers that land ownership

 The statement said that if the miners should accept the terms of- fered by the government, the Bald win ministry would proceed with legislation to make them effective despite the mine owners objections.
 The statement says:
 Tn order to prevent any possible misapprehension, the government thinks it desirable 10 make clear that the proposed terms of settle mcnt presented to the miners fed eration last night, although they were communicated to the president of the mining association at the same time as to the miners feder- ation, do not represent an agree ment with the colliery owners.

and occasional rains" predicted by
the weather Bureau for this after
noon, early indications were that
the Yankees and Cardinals would
be unable to practice TODAY at Yam,
kee Stadium. The players were
idle yesterday because Of rain and
cold.
The Cardinals are anxious to take
as many workouts as possible be-
fore the world series opens here
Saturday, as they realize the me-
cessity of famiIiarizing themselves
with the Yankees playing field.

Cardinals, received telegram from
ST. Louis that $50 Mound City root
ers will arrive here Saturday on a
special train. Meanwhile applica-
tions for series tickets continue to
pour in at the Yankee offices here.
Indications are that the games here
will be "sell out"
Any chance to break attendance
records on the coming series faded
with the decision of Sam Breadon,
president of the Cardinals. not to
construct temporary bleachers on
the playing field at Sportsman's

It was raining like the dickens
but the fans didn't mind. They
made up big parades and marched
up and down town shooting off
bombs and footing horns and blow
ing whistles and throwing papers
around until the place looked like
a street carnival. They kept it up
all night too. 1t was the biggest
demonstration I've ever seen staged
since the Armistice was signed.
guess it proves just how badly ST.
Louis wanted world series. and
how much baseball means to the
fans. Spirit like that will help the
Cards a lot in the series, too. With
all the fans pulling and praying for
you a chap can play his head off
and the Cards will do it.
j look for a tough series. /
look for free hitting, slam bang

thing will be one sided, either.
There may be one or two real
pitchers battles but if size the

as many hitting sprees. And the

be the boys who cop the glory.

other things. Our fielding. for in

But I'll discuss that later. What
want to talk about right now is
the strain of the world series.
And believe me it is q strain.
But in that connection. think
we'll have the edge.
The Cardinals have never won a
pennant before. They've got only
one man on their club who has
ever played in a world series. That's
Alexander, and he's a pitcher. so
he won't be in many games. In
addition to all that they realize that
the whole world is pulling for
them, and that all their friends
will be heartbroken if they lose.
Getting the support of the fans is
alright, but carrying the hopes of
the whole world on your shoulders
is pretty big bundle. And as /
figure it, the Cardinals are going
to be a lot more worried and a lot
more nervous than we are. They've
got more at stake.
In doping world series 1t seems
to me that is the first big thing
to consider. The mental state is a
