If there is any feeling regarding the denial of immigration rights by our country it is not expressed. If their sensibilities have been hurt by the exclusion of their compatriots they conceal the fact. 1t is of course absurd to think of judging an entire people by the few who are to be met on a steamship in crossing the Pacific. And. of course, we are fully that our errand in the Orient is well known to all on board. We are certainly getting ample evidence that the newspaper people of Japan are making ready to give us a rousing wel- come. Last evening came a radio—the nlr fairly sputters with these messages— saying that representatives of the Jap- anese press would meet us at the pler | at Yokohama this evening and take us away to Tokio to be entertained at a Japanese-style dinner. So our very first hours in Japan are to be spent in the “atmosphere.” In one way assuredly we are getting | ! on this voyage a distinct impression of | the people of the land we are first to visit. That is with regard to their artistic _ sensibilities and capgeities.

For example, the Winter Garden, a delight- ful saloon on the boat deck, is filled 1 some of the famous dwarf trees and some semi-tropical plants in exquisite settings. The mind revels in imagining how the Japanese themselves would | have planned and equipped this part of the ship. But it is on such occasions as last night at the “captain’s dinner” that the artistry of the Japanese asserts itself. Immediately after the tables were cleared from luncheon the stewards were busy with the decoration of the aloon for the evening.

Menu Cards Artistic. The menu cards of the ship are all to make of each dinner card a veritable souvenir. The Japanese art of printing is employed to the best effect in these commonplace details, Day after day the deck steward and his assistant. have replaced the chalk marks on the decks for the various es, shuffie board and deck golf and e like, erased in the early mornings by the swabbing crew. The letters and figures with which they designate the various spaces and values are beauti- fully drawn, and without the least variation from dey to day. It is a pleasure to watch them work at this task, 0 sure are they and so deft in touch. The concluding deck game of the serfes of competitions—prizes for supremacy in which were distributed last night at dinner—was the always amusing contest of ‘“putting the eye in the blind pig.” When the time for this game arrived a boy was semt for a particular assistant to the chief steward, who. when he came, grasped a bit of chalk and with h a dozen swift, strokes drew on the deck a pic- | ture of a great fat porker, ifue to life 1o the least line.

The President immediately on | receipt of the Secretary’s letter wrote to the chairman of the finance com- mittee of the Senate and the ways and means committee of the House asking that the sufi[mlon be complied with. ‘Approprh' legisiation was immediately | introduced and on February 9, 1922, be- | came law.

France was the first to send such representatives. a commission | headed by Jean V. Parmentier of the French treasury, arriving in July, 1922, It very soon became plain that the French government had no expectation that the Parmentier commission would reach any settlement. Its negotiations consisted almost wholly of explaining to the American officials the financial and economic position of France, her utter exhaustion and inability to do anything very constructive at that time. v depressing effect on the business of the whole country. In this connection it is interesting to note that in his address last. Armistice day President Coolidge declared that before we have finished paying for the war it will be evident that the United tates bore the heaviest expense and that the ultimate war bill will not be less than $100.000,000,000. Secretary Meilon also understood that | the allies had difficult problems to meet and that the funding of the debt would have to be carried out in accordance with a delicately adjusted plan to pre vent demoralization abroad and in the forelgn exchanges. Af that time, there- fore, Mr. Mellon told the President that the debt of approximately $10.000.- 000,000 should be placed on a definite | basis. Several debiors were in arrears | | with their interest. The evidences of indebtedness which they had given on | receipt of the loans were in vague form. ' They were merely promissory notes and £.

The | | British government agreed, and the | British debt, the largest of any foreign | | debt to the United States, was defi-' | nitely funded in the round sum of $4.- 600,000,000, with provision for ultimate | discharge through payments of interest | and amortization extending over a pe- | | riod of 62 years.

It i interesting to note, in connection | with a rehearsal of these long-drawn- out debt-funding negotiations, that the Republic of Cuba, a nation which owed its independence to the United | States, and had borrowed $10,000.000 to finance a part of its war costs, did not offer any funding proposals, but came forward with the money.

It is sound economics because it utilizes the great principle of co-operation in one of our primary needs—shelter.
