THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, MONDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1928. TR GETS ANCIENT COPY Manuscript of Commentary on “Lotus of Truth” Pre- sented by Japan. The Library of Congress has just re- cived through the Japanese Ambassa- lor a photographic reproduction of the ancient manuscripts of the commen- tary, written by Prince Shotoku, on the Buddhistic scripture, “The Lotus of Truth” The reproduction, of great seauty, was made under the auspices of | he Association for the Adoration of ’rince Shotoku. The copy is one of three brought to he United States by Ambassador De- | uchi at the request of President Fozai | f the Tokio Imperial University, for istribution to_ three representative li- sraries in the United States, as a token >f appreciation of the sympathy and sractical assistance of American insti- utions and individuals extended to the | University of Tokio after the catastrophe | September, 1928. It is in four hand Scrools each 50 feet long, of paper near- y 10 inches wide, on rollers tipped with 1 fretwork of silver. The exquisite work- nanship provides a setting fully appro- yriate to the central importance of the nanuscript. _The decorations on the scrolls, as well as the case, are faithful -eproductions of the originals. In a letter transmitting the gift to ‘he Library of Congress, Ambassador Jebuchi recalls the fact that following he destruction of the Tokio Imperial University Library by the earthquake | ive years ago, the American Library Association appealed to the public for help in restoring it, and that the re- sponse to the appeal, consummated by the donation of 4,000,000 yen by John D. Rockefeller, jr., had resulted not only in replacing a large part of the | “ooks, but also in having a new build- ng on a much large scale than before, vell equipped with all modern library acilities. The building was opened on Yecember 1 of this year. "APANESE PARLIAMENT HOLDS FIRST SESSION | Adjournment Will Be Taken Over Holiday in Observance of Emperor’s Death. 37 the Associated Press. TOKIO, Japan, December 24—Both "ouses of the first National Parliament clected under the general manhood suf- frage law held opening sessions this morning to organize for their first reg- lar sessions. While this is the fifty- 'xth session since the Imperial Diet as established in 1880, it is the first hosen upder the act of 1925, which ave the vote to all male Japanese 25 cars or older. Tomorrow will be a holiday, not be- ause it is Christmas, but because it s the second aniversary of the death of ‘mperor Hirohito. The formal.opening ceremonies, with Emperor Hitrohito nresent, will take place Wednesday, but here will follow a long recess for the New Year holidays. It therefore probably will be about January 20 before the Diet begins seri- cus consideration of the problems of “omestic taxation and the relations of the empire with China. The margin ~f the government in the House of Rep- rasentatives is so slight that the life of the cabinet of Premier Baron Tanaka may not be long.

By the Associated Press. CANTERBURY, England, December 24—The Most Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, newly enthroned *Archbishop of Canterbury, who is suffering from in- ternal inflammation, was described as being in less pain in a_medical bulletin issued this morning. The bulletin said: | “The archbishop’s pain is less today. The inflammation, which is in the region of the liver, appears to be sub- siding.” It was announced that it would be necessary for him to remain in bed some days. Sir Hugh Rigby, the surgeon in daily attendance on King George, was sum- moned to the primate’s bedside yester- day. Although the archbishop had suffered slight periodic attacks of pain for some days, it was only after dinner Satur- day night that he became seriously ill and the internal inflammation devel- oped. The primate was sufficiently well Friday to attend a meeting at Buck- ingham Palace of the state counselors who act for King George during his illness. At that meeting those of the King's household thought that he seemed quite | well, and it came as a surprise to them when word of the archbishop'’s illness was conveyed to Buckingham Palace by the Rev. L. J. Percival, domestic chaplain to the King. e MUSSOLINI IS CHEERED.
