JAP-U. S. TREATY

Tokyo Uneasy Over Fact
That America Free To Ap-

TOKYO, Jan. 26.-fFriday)-F0-
Japan maintained outward calm to-
day over expiration of the Japanese
American trade treaty of 1911, yet
harbored uneasiness over the fact
that the United States is free to app
ply economic pressure on Tokyo in
behalf of American interests in
China.
The calmness was due to a belief
there would be no immediate change
in Japanese-American trade rela-
tons, although the foreign office
stated expiration of the 29-year-old
treaty would put general relations
between Japan and the United
States under strain"
Japan's major concern is whether
the United states will move further

ROWE WILL MAKE
RACE FOR SENATE
Burgaw Man Announces He
Will Seek N. C.. Post He
Held In 1887

Roy Rowe. BurgaW business man,
who represented the New Hanover
Pender counties district in the 1887
state senate, has announced that he
will seek the democratic nomination
for the office in the primaries this
spring.
During the 1887 assembly, and the
two special sessions of that leglsla-
ture, Rowe served on the appro-
priation, labor, public welfare, cities,
counties and towns committees.
Under the alternating system OF
selecting state senators, New Han
over dominates the senator one
term and Pender the next. New
Hanover nominated Emmett H. Bel
lamy for the post in 1889.
Rowe said he has no local or
special legislation, affecting Pender
county only, in mind at this time.
He added: What 1 do think OF
significant importance, however, is
that officials and legislators in
North Carolina should intel1igently
inform citizens concerning the I'M
pact of world policies on our mar
kets. Especially should the tobacco
farmers be impressed of an impend
ing major calamity next fall, should
foreign markets fail to open to this
major import product.
Farmers should crow sufficient
food for their own consumption ano
venture cautiously and in a limited
way into the speculative money
crops.
when the general assembly con
venes, I believe the citizens should
be informed by their representatives
regarding legislation which directly
affects them, and they should be
given an opportunity to express
their views before important legisla-
ton is enacted, if POSSIBLE.

be. both Jewish and Roman, which
got rid of him in the way revolu-
tionaries are disposed of anywhere.
But he built up a great following
among the poor and the liberal
elements of Jewry, and these, af-
ter his death, founded the Christ
ian church.
The reasons why so many Jews
of the Dispersion never became
Christians are not far to seek. The
official, State church had certain
characteristics that made an i'm
passable chaSm between it a n d
Jewry, even apart from the ques-
ton whether or not Christ was
the Son of God and the Messiah.
1t had a tremendously powerful
and rich clergy; it had an absolute
leader, and an attitude toward the
Virgin Mary and a worship of i'm
ages that, to the Jew, smacked of
idOlatry; and it broke up the one
God into the holy Trinity. Its au-
thOritarian control was absolute.
In contrast, the Jews had abOl-
ished the priesthood, they were
increasingly individualistic, and in
religious matters they had been
moving ever farther away from
outer controls.
Besides, there was the hostility
the Christians seemed to feel to-
wards these stubborn people scat
tered here and there among them,
who by their refusal to accept in
stitutional Christianity tacitly de-
MED that it was the one true re-
ligion. Every time this hostility
broke out into the horrible violenc-
es that have always characterized
the Gentle, pagan or Christian,
the Jew must have recoiled and
said, "They have never got even a
glimpse of what our prophets
taught. They still know nothing of
the one God and the moral law"
How could they help but feel that?
When 1, a Gentle, look today at
the Gentle world in general and
at my own patch of it in particu-
lar, it seems obvious that the old
heather traits are on the rampage
again - mob thinking, supersti-
ton, suspicion, and the eternal
search for the scapegOat which is
the GentiIe'S most characteristic
and ancient weakness. The Jew
has pretty well got over blaming

Until the Jewish way OF lie, the
Jewish ethic, the Jewish con-
science began to permeate, very
gradually, the Gentle heather
world, the Gentle never realized
that there was any problem any
where. There was no sense of sin,
and the individual was of inifin-
itesimal Importance. The heavens
were filed with gods who had plen-
ty of power and no Ten Command
ments, and the earth was filled
with a social order based on Sla-
very, with a few tyrants at the
top. There was stoical bravery
but a minimum of mercy or COM
passion and no social conscience;
and there was no God of the sort
that the world has conceived of
since the beginning of the Christ
ian except among that tiny
and persistent people in Palestine.
on the highway of the powerful
heather nations who ravaged them
periodically, carried them away in
to captivity and found them ex-
ceedingly "stiff-necked." These
people had a strange God-Just
one God instead of dozens, who
knew human beings personally and
gave them a code of morals that
sounded and often seemed fan
tastically difficult to follow.
The only hope the Jew has ever
had of living in peace has been
the establishment of a world with
similar ethical and social cOncep-
tons. Among his own people he
has made great Roadway during
his history. But what real safety
could he have when he lived al
ways on the volcanoes of violence,
injustice and moral corruption
that have characterized the Gen
tile world since time immemOrial
and characterize it today?
The greatest of the Jews be-
came the founder of a new era, in
which the Jewish ethic began
gradually to have a chance to be
practiced in comparative peace.
Jesus was typically Jewish in his
outlook. He was violently opposed
by the established powers that
