The Nichi Nichi, while appreciat- ing the effort of President Coolidge to avert passage of the measure in its present form, asks why he did not veto the bill as an appeal to the American national conscience. “After all,’ it continues, “the president is a politician and as a party m followed the dictation of anti-Japanese congressmen. America has shown Japan good will in the past but that was only temporary Tokio, protest President 2 humanity and justice; it is no long- er time for controversy now; it is time for Japan to rise with the strongest resolution ever made to, protest the insult to the national honor. The Youmira urges a change of government and a new ministry stronger than the present one and more capable of handling the Am- erican situation. It says: “Anti-Japanese Ameri- cans are preparing fresh attacks against Japanese rights, against which we must prepare. The Yamato, a jingo newspaper, expresses itself as astonished at the American “courage” in disre- garding Japanese protests and ap- peals against the exclusion elause. Amer attitude justifies Japan's resolution to rise in protection of her prestige, it declares. “We Japanese have never faced a more serious ordeal,” it asserts. “We have fought before when the naiional honor was less damaged than in’ the present instance. Am- erica will soon realize that we Jap- anese really are seeking a new. so- lution of this difficulty.” EXPRESS REGRET Tokio, May 28 (By the A. P.)— Deep regret that the United States has enacted the immigration bill in- cluding a clause barring Japanese voiced in an of statement the foreign of- sued late today by fi ‘The Japanese government remains shaken in their opposition to this seriminatory legislation against Japanese and they have instructed the Japanese ambassador at Wash- ington to lodge a solemn protest with the United States government on this occasion,” concludes the com- minque. The document describes the immi- ,gtation bill and its effects on Jup- ‘anese entering the United States and continues: “Since the introduction of the Johnson immigration bill, basis of the present bill. into the House last December the Japanese governnient have frequently and earnestly called the attention of the United States government to the exclusion provi- sion, The Japanese government therefore deeply regret that this pro- vision has been enacted in spite of their representation and the vigor- ous and repeated efforts made by the President and Secretary of State of the, United States to prevent the dis- criminatory provisions in question.” The statement was issued late in the day, after_an extraordinary cab- inet session hid approved the form of a protest which framing was com- pleted yesterday.

It will reduce the sending time to le five minutes, no matter what the distance. 3. It will probably be the forerun- | ner of transmission of photographs by radio telephony across oceans and other expanses. Plans are already completed for the use of this device with the be- ginning of the Republican conven- tion. Newspape: organizations will be permitted to telephone their pictures through thi instrument to New York, for publ tion the same day they are taken Without this instrument it would take 14 hours for’a photograph to reach New York from hei The new method will take less than five minutes, Transmitter The positive film of the photo- graph to be telephoned is placed on a cylinder which revolves on a gear- ed axle and is made to move forward one-sixty-fifth of an inch at every turn. Through this film a pin-point light shines and effects a highly sen* sitive photo-electric cell undern wherever the light and partly s ed spots of the positive film allow the light to penetrate. The photo-elect: selenium, cell passes on the impulses it gets from the light through a powerful amplifier and the long distance tele- yhone line to the receiving appara- tus, in this case in New York. Receiver On the receiver is a sensitized film revolving on an axle similar to that in the sender, and in perfect syn- chrony with the. transmitter. The impulses received from the traus- mitter actuate a set of valves which permit another pin-point of light to penetrate to the sensitized film, or shut off where it is not supposed to affect the film, - The result is a duplicate of the transmitting film with“thig excep- ers and other organizations, will give a public address at 8:30 p. m. tonight in the city, Auditorium at a meeting to be held under the aus- pices of the North Dakota Retail Merchants .

D. Retailers Association GOVERNOR ON PROGRAM Secretary of National Market- ing Agency Also One of Convention Speakers The subject of cooperation the forefront today in discussions at the second day's session of the North Dakota Retail Merchants As- sociation here. Governor R. A. Ne: tos and Walton Peteet of Chicago, ary of the Nutional Council of Cooperative Marketing Associations were among the speakers emphasiz ing this subject. Governor Nestos, while advocating cooperative marketing in the state through voluntary means, introduced a note of caution, and urged busi- ness men to assist in the conduct of such organizations along proper lines. Especially he insisted that there be education of the participants in the cooperative marketing organ- izations so that they would take a keener interest,’ and insisted upon full and complete audits of the bus- iness of such*enterprises so that the members would know about the pro- gress of the business at all time “The greatest service that can be rendered to the cause of cooperation today is that of educating the irdi- vidual members of the cooperative groups of whatever kind to a reali- zation that each man must make an earnest and sincere effort to under- stund the business, to realize its pur- poses, and to know as much as pos- sible about what is being done and ought to be done in order to achieve the success in the business of the cooperative group,” said the Gover- nor, Mr. Peteet, speaking on the rel: tions of the farmer and bus man, took the position that the mar- keting problem of the farmer be- comes also the problem of the busi- ness man, a cémmunity, problem, and he urged the business men to assist the farmers’ organizations in the cooperative endeavors.

Too many retail- ers, outside of the larger cities, have never learned the value of advertis- ing, and many of those who do use newspapers, value the space so light- ly that there is no pulling power to the advertising, because there is no selling punch in the advertising copy. “Newspapers cover much of your territory regularly,” he continued. “They carry the news message of the world into the homes, and your ad- + | The condition of Dr. Robinson is An X-Ray examination made to determine the | exact extent: of injuries.

P.) Senator LaFollette today vir- tually announced that he will ran for President on an independent ticket “unless the approaching Dem- utic and Republican conventions demonstrate whether either of those parties can and will purge itself of the evil influences which have long dominated them. If this not is done,” Senator LaFollette wrote ‘to Attorney-Gen- ckern of Wisconsin, a long ng and righteously indignant people will find in the coming cam- means, old paign effective of both control of make it tru At the same time Senator LaFol- lette denounced the communists and openly charged that they were ing to take control of the Farmer-Labor progressive conven- tion called to meet in St. “Paul June 17. Convention Not Representative ‘In my judgment,” he wrote, “the independent parties, to take and these convention will not command the support of the farmers, workers oF other progressives because those {who have had charge of the arrange- ments for this convention have com- mitted the fatal error of making the Communists an integral part of their organization, The Communists has admittedly entered into the po- litical movement not for the purpose of curing by means of the ballot the evil which afflicts the Amer- ican people but only to divide and confuse the progressive movement and create a condition of chaos fav- le to their ultimate aims. Their p is to establish by re olutionary action a d torship of the ariat, which absolute- ly repugnant to democratic ideals and to all American aspirations.” Russian Aid In his letter Senator LaFollette quoted an official statement of the Central executive committee of the Workers Party of America and a cablegram from the Communist in- ternational ut Moscow — respecting plans for the St. Paul convention which he declared “show — clearly that they a seeking to use the Farmer-Labor party of Minnesota and other progressive organizations who h lent their name td this nous a means of advancing own ends.’ His Attitude “I have devoted many years of my life to an effort to solve the prob- lems which confronted the American people by the ballot and not by force", wrote the Wisconsin enator. “i believe that the people through the ballot can completely control their government in every branch and compel it to serve them effec- tively. I have fought steadfastly to hieve this end and I shall nov abandon this fight as long as I live. “L believe, therefore, that all pro- gressives should refuse to partici- e in any movement which makes mmon cause with any Communist crganization.” Senator LaFollette’s letter closed with his declaration respecting, the Republican and Democratic conven- tions which was acknowledged by hi se friends as an announcement of his candidacy should the action and platform of the two major part- ies fail to accomplish changes he regards necessary. NO CHANGE PLANNED St. Paul, May 28.—There will be no change in the plan for the na- tional farmer-labor, progressive con- vention in St, Paul June 17, despite Senator LaFollette’s statement, it was announced here today.
