Virtually every car parked in the downtown district today was decorated by one of the stickers. Some motorists declared they thought it would have been better had the Shrine committee placed the stickers in the machine and left it to the discretion of the owner whether he wished to paste it on his car. Another complaint was that the stickers were so placed on the windshields_that they obstructed the view of either the driver or his passenger. They should have been pasted in the extreme lower right-hand corner, if at all, it was said. The motorists pointed out that they are quite willing to co- operate in helping visiting Shrin- ers, but that the manner of virtu- ally commandeering their cars had cited some antagonism. — e committee’s publicity headquarters, hearing of the exasperation of some of the American offi 1s over the at-| {titude of the allies, issued some caus- tic comments about the allies in which references to rooked” nations | labroad and their attempts to “bilge the American people were conspicuo he De tment of State heard abbut it and so did the President and the national committee h dquarters was lasked to, withdraw the statement which it did with the public an- nouncement that the Department of tute wanted it withdrawn Made Democrats Joke. national committee the discord nd that The democrat has had some partisan fun out pointing out that gns in republican ranks the left hand doesn’t know what the right is doing und so on.

Delny n Disappointment. Apart from the domestic phases o the controversy and the certain use) which opponents of co-operation with Burope are bound to make of the allied attitude over a valid claim for expenses, there is another ppoint- ment in connection with diplo- macy manifested in this case. It is the tendency of the allies to fight} tooth and nail inst the payment to America of any sums which might otherwise £o to their reparation fund.

Hzs Respect of All What is the secret of this man's power? He was not, in his prime, an impostng figure. He was no orator. He had at first glance no brilliant personality. Yet he held men of ®onius and ambition in his thrall. Why? Because he has been from the first absolutely disinterested. Money, place and power, as such, have no charm for him. Supreme ruler over 130,000,000 people he dressed and lived as simply as when a poor man in Geneva. Modest about himself, he was unbendable in his principles.

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Authoritative advices have reached the United States from Tokio during the past few days foreshadowing that | Japan soon will move diplomatically to secure “fair play” for Japanese domiciled In America. Japan seeks a treaty with the United States whereby Japanese nationals already in this country ‘will enjoy precisely the same rights as other aliens. The question of immigration is not in- volved. That is regarded by Japan as settled under the “gentlemen's agreement” of 1907. It is the treatment accorded to resident Japanese by California and other western states that is objected to. Ambassador Hanihara, in his speech before the Japan Society of w York on May 13, made frank admission to that effect. He definite- ly intimated that until condjtions considered obnoxious by Japan are removed the slate between Nippon and the United States would not be clean. No move by Mr. Hanihara istiKely, pending the decision of the Supreme Court on the Californd@ atien land law cases argued there on April 23. Whether the court will pass upon the validity of the laws before the im- pending summer adjournment cannot be foretold. b Decision of Court. court holds that nia statutes, which nese from, owning or land, or even entering into a cont to work it for “cropping” Durposes. are invalid will have less cause for In any event whethe decision_is favorable or unfavor the Tokio government is. not likely to wait long before re- questing the United States perman- ently to place Japanese aliens on ex- ctly the same basis enjoyed by other eigners. A treaty is the form which Tokio would look upon as the 3 actory solution lifornia is in determined mood about Japanese-owned or Japanese- le: ed land. When Ulysses S.

The counsel for the American and Japanese plaintiffs who are contest- ing the California statutes argue that they violate the letter and spirit of the fourteenth amendment to the fed- eral Constitution, prohibiting discrimi- nation toward any persons on account of color or race.

Japan’s aspiration for an equality treaty” with the United States ‘would become a debatable proposition.
