GROUP 0.K.’S RAP AT EXCLUSION Resolutions Committee Unanimous for Measure Fighting Legal Ban on Japanese. BACKED BY WESTERNERS San Francisco Man Author of Vig- orous Protest. | By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 8.—The | resolutions committes of the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States today will unanimously report favor- ably on a declaration agaiast exclu- sion of Japanese subjects by iaw, a canvass of the committee revealeu. Hit Japanese Ban Measure. A resolution expressing the sense of the meeting that “friendly nego- tiation” instead of congressional en- @ctment should offer the approach to the solution of the japanese imm! | 8ration problem was adopted yesterday by the commerce section of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Introduced by Edward A. Filene of Boston and by three representatives of Pacific coast states, the resolution was unanimously adopted by approxi- mately 400 members of the foreign commerce section. Among the spectators at the ses- sion, presided over by Charles F. Weed of Boston, was Iwao hi, New York, commercial attache to the Jap- anese embassy. Introduction of the resolution followed an address on “Foreign Trade From the Standpoint of the Western States.” by Robert N. Lynch. vice president of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, which was concluded with an appar- ently studied presentation of the op- position viewpoint on the exclusion |issue.

Griggs related. Tells of Coast Attitude. “We on the Pacific coast” Grigss continued, “do not feel that the sev- enty-five years' history of close and fricndly relations with Japan since the country was opened to interna- tional trade by Commodore should be swept aside in a moment of irritation.” The celebrated Hanihara consequences’ note, Mr. Lynch ingist- ed. was hastily_misinterpreted by Congress. The difficulties of the Eng- lish language for the Japanese, he believed. may have given the note a tone somewhat more emphatic than was intended “Of course.” Mr. Lynch said, “we do | not wish to build up an unassimilable population in the western states, but we are going to meet with fear, hos- tility and injustice that inevitable problem which should be approached with sympathy, tolerance—and, above all. with an even temper.” Others who indorsed the original resolution were J. W. Mason of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, H E. Miles of Wisconsin and Armand May of Atlanta, Ga. The question received passing con- sideration in the civics development section, where the whole problem of immigration was in discussion, but in view of the resolution in the foreign commerce meeting, no action was taken by the civics group.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May $.—A heavy fog hung over New York harbor early| today, tied up shipping, and caused | active’ anti-rum-running precautions by customs authorities, who sent out more rum chasers. The Homeric, with J. P. Morgan | and a number of other notables on | board, dropped anchor off Ambrose lightship, along with a number of smaller vessels. The coast guard cutters Gresham, from New York, and Kickapoo, from Cape May, N. J., stood by the steam- ers Clauseus and Mendocino, which collided twenty miles south of the lightship late last night and which sent out distress signals. Coast guard officers said they had been informed the damage to the two ships was above the water line and that they would be able to proceed to port with the assistance of the cut- ters as soon as the fog lifted. The Mendocino, in bailast, was outbound for Tampico, Mexico, ~while the Clauseus was inbound with & cargo of freight from San Francisco.

The cure does not | lie in mere opposition. It lies in the correction of ubuse. It lies in an adaptability to changing human out- | look. { Sees New Ei Dawaing. “1 believe we now for the first time have the method at hand for volun- tarily organized determination of standards and their adoption. 1 would go further: 1 believe we are in the presence of a new era in the organi- zation of industry and commerce in | which, if properly directed, lie forces | pregnant with infinite possibilities of moral progress. I believe that we | are. almost unnoticed, in the midst of creat revolution—or perhaps a bet- { ter word, u transformation in the whole superorganization of our eco- nomic life. We are passing from & period of extremely individualistic | wction into a period of associational ivities. Associational activities are. 1 be- lieve, driving upon a new road where the objectives can be made wholly {and vitally of public interest. The |legitimate trade associations and chambers of commerce, with which 1 am now primarily concerned, possess certain characteristics of social im- portance and the widest differentia- tion from pools and trusts. Their { membership must be open to all mem- | bers in the industry or trade, or rival organizations enter the field at once. | Therefore, they are not milistones for | the grinding of competitors, as was | the essence of the old trade combina- |tions. Their purpose must be the ad- vancement of the whole industry or lxradr_ or they cannot hold together. The totai interdependence of all In- | dustries and commerce compels them {in the long run to go parallel to the |general economic good. Their leaders | Tise in real democracy without bosses lor political manipulation. Citizens | cannot run away from their country | if they do not like the political man- agement, but members of voluntary | associations can resign and the ass0- ciation dies. | ““I believe that through these forces we are slowly moving toward _some | sort of industrial democracy. We are upon its threshold. if these agencies can be directed solely to constructive | performance in the public interes “Some people have been alarmed lest this associational movement the destruction of our com- , lesp it inevitably de- : 4 individualism ! < of our society. This alarm is groundless. Its right- ful activities do not destroy equality of opportunity or initiative. In fact, they offer new avenues of opportu- nity for individuals to make progress toward leadership in the community. Any one of them will die at once it it does not offer equality of oppor- tunity to its members; or if it re- stricts its membership, rival associa- tions at once emerge.

Convention. think mv feet are not on the ground in all this, and I propose to give a few illustrations from real life of what can be effected by constructive associations and by co-operation among them. “In the toil of formulating these standards there arose a question of how thick a one-inch_board should be. 1t sounds easy. But it quickly developed to be a question whether it should be one inch thick when it was green, after it was dried, when planed on one side or when planed on both sides. Tt developed not only that a choice had to be made among these four alternatives, but also that this choice had to be based upon a proper consideration for the con- servation of our forests, on one hand, and the provision of a material of such structural character as to con- stitute & square deal to the consumer., on the other. That oocasion was the foundation of ethics in one-inch boards.” Answered Eighty Questions. The conferences on the one-inch boards, Secretary Hoover adlied, ac- tually established some eighty ques- tions involving the whole technology of lumber, and comprising for the first time & definite series of national Standards through the co-operation of architects’ ciations, building contractors, rai'way, retail and other organizations. Secretary Hoover referred also to the co-operation between associations in the bituminous coal industry with the Department of Commerce. us well as with manufacturers. railway and public utility organizations, which, he said. resulted, after four government commissions had examined the ques- tion, in an uninterrupted distribution of coal. “Another instance” he added, “of great interest in which 1 had the honor to participats was the abolition of the twelve-hour day in the steel industry through the action of the Steel Association.

It lies in the higher pitch of economic life, in a finer regard for the rights of others, a stronger devo- tion to obligations of citizenship that will assure an improved leadership in every community and the nation; it lies in the organization of the forees of our economic life, 50 that they may procuce happier individual lives, more secure in emplovment and comfort. wider in the possibilities of enjoy- ment of nature, larger in its oppor- tunities of intellectual life. With vision and devotion these voluntary forces can accomplish more for Amer- ica than any spread of the hand of government.™ 200 .
