" ’ . \ By LLOYD ALLEN. welnorn Newspaper Union Staff Conr e/ respondent. (Copyright, 1919, by Western Newspaper Cnion.) Japanese statesmen at the peace conference have no intentlon what- ever of trying to force the immigration question into the proceedings, accord- ing to a reliable authority on Japanese affairs. It-is true that one member of thd : Japenese delegation politely interpolat- o o resolution into one of thé con- farences calling attention to the in- equality of the United States immi- gration laws. But it can be taken for granted that there is a clear understanding be- 8 tween America and Japan on the well- known “gentleman’s agreement” ex- <cluding Japanese from our shores, and it is not the intention of the Jap dele- getlon to ask for any change in the present arrangement on the immigra- tion question. This is to be regarded as a kind of i Mttle secret ‘“between we Americans,” Wut the cold fact of it was that the JYapanese statesman who brought up the immigration question at the peace oonference was more anxious to keep right with his constituents at home than to leap into the limelight by Wringing objectionable questions be- fore the conference. ) Won't Wake It Up. o 0. :‘And the “gentleman’s agreement,” a phfioslfion affecting America and Ja- pan, is a kind of sleepiag dog in the field of world politics that no one, even the Japanese, have any desire to kick into wakefulness. There are enough knotty problems before the peace con- ference now without introducing any new controversial stuff. As a_matter of fact, all that the Japanese had to say before the peace conference was a gentle reminder that i€ all men are born free and equal, the Jap, being a man, is free and the equal of anyone, providiag the American Declaration of Independence means anything at all. This In effect was the message. . It was slipped Into the record. There it may be read by =nyone curious enough to peruse the lengthy speeches. As an immediate political problem 1t does not exist. The chances are that America will not be confronted with this bugaboo in its old form-for many a long year. probably never. i In the first place Japanese immigres tion has stopped for the period of the war and for the period of reconstruc- t'igg.‘ in all probability. The Japanese —<Eyernment is not embarrassed by a " feeling of unrest throughout the fis- land empire because 100,000 Japs must leave the country every year, for the Japs don’t have to leave in the first place and when they do they have lands other than America to move to. Good Faith the Keynote, Good faith between the nations 1Is going to be one of the keynotes of the whole league of nations plan, and the Japanese arve for the league. In: the era the world is. starting into, new policies and new aims, all of them more liberal than anything practiced in the pre-war days, are going to pre- dominate, We are accustomed to think of Ja- pan as a selfish nation—partly because of the fact that she copied from the old European diplomacy and also be- cause there has been a persistent propaganda spread throughout the ¢ world by a number of German gentle- men who sought to promote discord between Japan and America. * _In thinking of Japan today we muat first of all take it for granted that the Japs are members of the league of ngtions and are going in for all that the league stands fer. In other words the day of liberalism in Japan is here. The last of ihe old statesmen, the mili- tarists and imperialists, died the other day and the future of the country is In the hands of men who above all other things are committed to their alliance with the English speaking peoples. And that alliance precludes the possi- bility and probability of their seeking trouble with the largest English speak- ing nation, America, In the matter of immigration, a probiem that sooner or Iater wHl solve itself either in the changing conditions that affect Japan or the altered economic situation America 1s going into during or soon after the reconstruction period. It is easy to believe that the day is mot far distant when America will neced Japanese labor and will come to the point of weleoming it with open arms. Not the ‘Best Eiements. Viscount Ishil, who is the Japanese ambassador to Washington, and who was the statesman that investigated the Japanese laber situation in Amer- Ara several years ago, was then of the opinion that it would serve the hest interests of Japan if everyone of their citizens in America could be transport- eC at once back te Japan. Fle knew that the class of Japanese that had | Rists everywhere. TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 22, 1919 T : come to America did not represent the | The metal was nrierward taken out best elements in Japan and gave America an unjust appreciation of his nation. He fostered and endorsed the “gentleman’s agreement,” which has since shut out the Japs from the Unit- ed States, It may" be said truthfully that the Jupanese statesmen of today are ani- mated by. this spirit that dominated Ishii. They wish to live in harmony with America. k Where you sce stories of the prob ability of Japan declaring war on any nation—even America, it's a pretty sufe bet that some German influence inspired the story. The far East is still pretty well riddled with the Ger- man propagandists who know how to describe trouble clouds that seem to threaten Japanese-American relationd, when these clouds exist only in the fancy of the gentleman from Berlin. Hun Still a Schemer. _We must remeinber that the German has been defeated on the battlefields of northern France, but he has had nc change of heart and is the same schemer today that he was before the great British drive near Arras ou the eighth of last August, that smashed seven German divisions that were never reorganized, and he is the same plotter today that he was back in July when the Amerjcans at Chateau-Thier- ry turned the Boche drive against Paris. The Hun Is finished in a military way. He can’'t come back. But he will be many a long day forgetting how to sow trouble among the nations of the world.

He volunteered shortly after war was declared and saw continuons service with the Amer- fcan army at the front for more than a vear, participating in. all the hard bat- tles fought by the Fifth division.

STRONGER MEN TAKE THE LEAD They Have Nerves of Iron and Real Red Fighting Blood Vital force is the material from which leaders in all walks of life are made, it is well worth getting and 20lding. The health and nerve of the athlete s what Nature intended every man ind woman to have. The blood of an athlete is pure and red, a strong heart pumps and drives it through his body. No wonder that every inch of his system is filled with energy and health, his nerves like Iron, spirits high, hard tasks a pleas- ure and life one song of joy. A leading Doctor says, ‘“Everyone should feel this way, That if you are not red blooded, are nervous, all run down and on your last legs, for you to build up your blood and nerves with ex- ercise, fresh air, nourishing food and Nature’s great prescription, Phosphat- ed Iron a real blood and nerve builder”. He also says, “Phosphated Iron feeds the blood cells with iron and Nerve force, and that leading specialists are now using it successfully all over the country, that it is one of the few reme- dies that better class doctors can now depend on to produce results”.

Influenza *“No one who has not had Influenza can realize the suffering it causes or how it defies treatment. I know of nothing that will give such prompt relief as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, for when it is taken the pain in the chest disappears, the fever sub- sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable. Then again, the after effecs of Influenza are often even more distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if you use Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Though the greatest danger from chis disease is Pneumonia, 1 have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was freely given. The persistent cough that frequently follows Influenza can be relieved by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and should not be allowed to run on until it becomes troublesome.” Qpoursr fo Healtl = Qs Clombiliis .
