D. CLOSE, Inc al Newspaper Representa- ngeles, Portland, New York & icago, E REPRPSENTATIVE—Gilbert A. Wellington, 1011 Bank Build CULTURE A LA TATE The Empire is very happy to announce today that it has received from the Sinbun no Sinbun of Tokyo an eight-page press release telling us all about a Culture Tower recently unveiled near Tate- shina, Ja “Thou 1ary mat the pre h it was extremely difficult to get neces- the construction on account of ituation, the authorities fin- ¥ agreed to help build the Tower, realizing its cultural importance the scheme” writes Seiji Shiki, President of Sinbun, which he declares to be ‘the only Japanese newspaper of the publishing world hooks and printing news.” ials for of including press news, The ceremony dedicating the Culture Tower began, we learn, “by all present with first bowing towards Imperial Palace a token of thanks for and next offering who gave their Sino-Japanese the boundless will of the silent prayers for 1 to the country incident.” In delivering the address heroes the current nation: in f the day, Mr. Shiki people to preserve refers to the duty of the Japar in a culture tower the various records of the present| age for the edification of coming generations deed,” hat manner of social life were our people leading at this time, how did they cope with the difficulties accompanied with the present war, these and things will give our posterity the most interesting problems . . . Though we were for- tunate encugh to be horn in the land of Rising Sun he saj other where abunda rice grows, our nation is now cbliged to live on insipid foreign rice. Again al- though Jepan is one of the richesl in copper pro- duction, currencies in use are all being robbed of the metal, with aluminum coins used as substitutes. Moreover, in spite of the fact that the largest amount made in this country, we cannot don the rebuked that we are squander- s. Why?—Because we have to sacrifice al wants for the greater object of coming prosperity. That i5 to sa the nation is head, ing hard on their shoulders, for ment of high tension national defense. n why we should put up with this plaints is laid to the love of our descen- coming after us . . . The world is a great change. map of the world should be altered, heut tor th present Washington which has come to be painted as it is now at the instance of some of the nations by the end of eight- eenth century. This is no time for us to be worry- ing over spilt milk.” | At the conclusion of Mr. Shiki's “impressive” '\pnoch. he himself writes in a signed press release, “warm sentiment ran high among all present.” The remaining part of the ceremony was taken up with reading congratulatory messages, including ! the following: Yosuke Matsuoka, Foreign Minister—“The old order has collapsed when the second European War | took a mew turn, and this country is now faced with a most difficult situation, unparalleled in its history. | Three years have passed since the outbreak of the | china incident. Because of the august virtue of ;‘hp Emperor, the loyal and brave army and naval | »fficers and men have achieved results unexampled in history in the campaign for the settlement of the incident, and now the days of anti-Japanese regime in China are numbed. (sic) Neverthéless numerous [ obstacles still lie in the way of final disposition of | the incident in view of complicated international | situations.” | Inosuke PFuruno, President of the Domei News Agency—“Having entered the fourth year of the Sino-Japanese hostility, the development of our cul- tural matters should be more encourage than ever before.” Mr. Shiki ends his communication to The Em- e with the appeal that we send him “all kinds of | ublications, such as newspapers, magazines and periodicals, best-sellers and books, newly-invented | merchandise very recently, posters, records or books concerning war,” The Empire’s firm history, or a copy of our lineage or our message to the future| generation of Japan in 2040. We don’'t think Mr. Shiki would be very much interested in our lineage or in the history of any | Empire less than 2,600 years old or in a copy of our newspaper. And we think what posters, records or books concerning war we might send him would be offensive to a warm-hearted philanthropist paus- ing to build a culture tower in the midst of an earth-| shaking reformation of Asia. As to our message to | the Japanese people of 100 years hence, we can only| say we hope you have by that time found your way from THE EMPIRE DRSS Y 20 YEARS AGO e - e e < ) < JANUARY 16, 1921 Announcement was made by the Alaska Aircraft and Transportation 4 Company of Anchorage, that passenger service to interior points was to i| be started this month.
