McAI.ESTER, Okla. July 3o.-The
State today challenges the habitual
criminals right to parenthood.
The first test Of the validity Of
Oklahoma,s controversial law provsd-
ing for sterilization of hahitual GRIM
inals-those convicted three times of
felonies-is scheduled to be brought
by George wtrlkler. 28-year-old bur
glar, whose current term expires early
next year
More than 800 conviets may be
affected.
The law provides for hearings be-
fore the State Board of Affairs upon
recommendation of subjects by the
prison warden. An appeal from the
boards decision may be taken to
District Court and thence to the State
Supreme Court. which already has
upheld that part of the law which
applies to victims Of hereditary or
recurrent forms Of insanity.
Common welfare Limits Right.
Assuming that she right to beget
children is natural and constitu-
tional right, yet this right cannot be
extended beyond the common well
fare" Chief Justice Fletcher Riley
ruled in the test of law applying to
the insane.
The big house" was astir with
mutterings and rumors as news Of the
test travelled the grapevine" War
den Sam Brown, worried over prison
unrest, was outspoken in his opposi-
ton to the law.
"Our records show that seldom
does the son Of a criminal come to
this place, and that's the final proof, "
he said
Chairman W. c. Hughes, declaring
the Board of Affairs was taking ac-
ton carefully and prayerfully," said
he considered it the mandatory
duty" of the warden to file applica-
tions for sterilization of those pris-
oners coming within the scope of
the law-thoSe deemed likely TO be-
come a public charge upon release
from States prison.
Does Not Affect Life.
Hughes said one of the chief respon-
sibilities of the board is to convince
prisoners that the sterilization opera
tion will not affect them physically.
THE operation In no wise prevents
the patient from living a normal
life," he said.
DR.. Louis Ritzhaupt, State Senator
who sponsored the measure, declared
the only way to stop the growing tax
burden Of prisons and asylums "is to
stop production of potential inmates. /"
The hearing has been postponed
from time to time since last Spring,
when dozen inmates Of the State
Hospital for the Insane at Norman
we're ordered sterilized.

Difference Skin Deep.
The Ambassador then pointed the
conversation in another direction.
"One surprising question we hear
Is whether the racial difference be-

be an adhering and sympathetic un-
derstanding and cooperation between

The Ambassador paused and smiled.
Japan is determined that unless
she is attacked she will never take up
arms" he affirmed. 1.-THE main issue
between Soviet Russia, on the one
hand. and Manchukuo and Japan. on
the other, has been the question Of
the Chinese Eastern Railway, now
called the North Manchukuo Railway

accepted an offer to negotiate about
the sale of the railway, but the two
countries have been unable to agree
upon the price. After a few months
of interruption, the negotiations have
been resumed and 1t Is generally be-
heved the interested parties will come

and friendly relations with its sister

this true of our feeling toward the
United States. despite suspicious and
misgivings which unfortunately now
exist between our two peoples.
Certain elements in the United
States entertain and frequently ex-
press the fear that Japan harbors
aggressive designs on the Asiatic
mainland and even is courting trou-
BILE with this country: that the mill
tarists are at the helm of our ship
of state. And. in Japan. 1t is felt
sometimes that the United States is
placing impediments in the way of
our progress and advancement, that
you do not understand our real aim
in Eastern Asia, that the United
States will not see the realities of
the Far Eastern situation and often
encourages China to take a definite
attitude against Japan.
Japan's Aim Is Peace.
"On neither side is there fact be-
hind these opinions. Japan's gen.
uine aim in Eastern Asia Is peace and
OTOeT. we nave no lQea OF aggression
or expansion.
Regarding Manchukuo, our inter-
ests there are so vital that the coun-
try Is often called the lifeline of
Japan. So long as Manchuria was
friendly to us and respected our i'm
portant treaty rights and interests,
we were satisfied. But when the
Chinese warlords menaced these
rights and treaties, and even the lives
and property Of Japanese residents,
We had to act.

Mr.. Saito spoke then of the need of
metal for development in Manchuria.
1T should be borne in mind" he
pointed out, that Japan produces
very little iron ore at home, and, that,
unlike other nations, we must buy
most of these metals elsewhere.
Because of this, our purchases are
heavier than those of other countries.
This seems to have been seized upon
to raise again the scarecrow of Japa-
nese war preparation"
Turning from economic to political
matters, Ambassador Saito secuted the
idea of resentment or apprehension in
Japan over the recognition of Russia
by the United States.
Japan understands that the recog-
milton was inspired by economic
reasons" he observed. "She has not
read into it any implications of ulte-
rior motives. Japan was one of the
first powers to recognize the Soviet
Republic, in 1924. I do not recall
America making any fuss about our
recognizing the Soviet Government
Why, then, should we make ado about
your recognizing the same govern
ment?"
Mr.. Saito took up the rumors Of a
Japanese Russian war.
During the last few months,

almost continuous rumorS Of such a
war, to start this Spring or in the
Fall That is an old story. Last
year your wise men told us war was

the war would come last February
Then your prophets said it would
come in May. Well, May is over,
and there is no sign of war.

come from, but do know there are

Saito Assures america Japan
Is Not Preparing for q War
Purchases of Cotton Are
Laid to Increased
Textile Trade.
Iron Is Bought, He Says,
to Push Mar,chukuO's
Development.

The United States is under a mis-
apprehension If it fears Japan's
heavy purchases of cotton and metal
in this country indicate preparations
for war, says Ambassador Hirosi
Saito.
Japan's increased export trade in
cotton goods, and not ar intention to
use the cotton in the manufacture
of explosives, accounts for a large
part of the cotton buying, he affirms.
As for the metal, says the Japa-
nese statesman, some Is probably
used for munitions" to restore de-
pleted stocks to a normal, peace
time state" but much of it goes
toward the development of Manchu-
ria and its hundreds of miles of new
railway.
The Ambassador reiterates that,
unless Japan Is attacked, she never
will take up arms; that she has no
idea Of aggression or expansion in
Eastern Asia. and that his country
and the United States are destined
to work in harmony in developing the
great region bordering the Northern
Pacific.
Cotton Price Caused Buying.
Any assumption that the cotton
and metal Japan is buying are for
munitions and armaments shows lit
tie knowledge of economic facts, In
the opinion Of Mr.. Saito, who re-
ferred to Japan's increased exports of
cotton goods to various parts Of the
world.
"The peak Of the Japanese pur-
chases of American cotton was
reached about two years ago, when
the price Of raw cotton was extremely
low," he said. "The Japanese mill
operators, taking advantage of the
low price, stocked enormous quanti-
ties of cotton. That Is their prac-
tice. They buy In the cheapest mar
kets and sell in the highest That's
why they do such a profitable busi-
ness.

further necessary because the Japa-
