LADIES’ SUITS Waists : Your i NEW BRITAIN DAILY, HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1917, |STIFLE PREJUBICE, 15 SATO’S ADVIGE I Japanese Envoy Asks Americans to Open Their Eyes Pittsburgh, Pa., March 16.—Aimaro | Sato, Japanese ambassador to the United States, addressed the Pitts- ibllrgh Press club at its annual din- itrer last night, speaking on Japanese- \American relations. The permanence of' amity between the two countries was assured, said he if ,the people ! of both countries could have a little i more light, to enable them to. throw i off. fear and prejudice which' were | boern of ignorance, and he appealed to i the gentlemen of the press to be the torch-bearers for the light that was | negded.. - ¥ " “Where the American is indiffer- ont,” ‘said Ambassador Sato, “he can- not be wise. Where he 18 not well- i informed he cannot bejust. It is j well for us torhe mindful always of the fact that thére are always pres- j ent, both ih the United States and Ja- pan, men and influences that are ready and even eager to set the deli- cute. fabric of peace on.' “Herbert Spencer put igto a brief senténce what we all Bagwe but which We can never remembér for iany fength of time: “‘We all decry prejudice,” said he, ‘yet are prejudiced!’” . On ‘the other side of the Pacific a Iworld drama is being enacted which is no less important to -America than | the one in Europe,dsaid the ambassa- dor, because the Far Eastern drama 1= constructive instead of destructive. “America should . know more of it sald he, “for the world is about to enter upon what might be called a pacific era and the. United States is j tiptoeing ‘on the threshhold' of a néw day wherein ‘she is to be at once a world merchant and a world power.” Poetry ‘ot Pittsburgh. The ambassador introduced his ad- dress by picturing the people. of Pittsburgh ‘as “a race of poets,” not ot the classic type, but ‘“poets of the ultra-modern’ sort who chisel their cantos in a Panama Canal or trace their lines in steel rails across the continent.” - Accordingly, . the am- tassador spoke not of the Japan of the lacquer trays and a fan, but of the Japan of achievements,—Japan in her overalls, in ‘the world’s market places and at the helms of her ships combing the seven seas. He said: “In some quarters of this country, an impression ‘prevails that the em- pire of Japan is a handful of lean isl- &nds as serile as the classic but stern shores of Attica or of your New Eng- ~ Cement and Roofing - o gthatnever wear out Don't take chances with inferior building materials.

From north to south, there- tore, the Empire of Japan covers a fiuch greater reach than this great United States. All this -naturally gives Japan a wealth of verying cli- matic-belts and their agricultural.and arine products. But the impression of the spacious reach of the empire created by what I have said should be largely discounted. Japan s .by no means a continuous chain of. isl- ands stretching from. .the fifty-first which are.unable to approach Tien: tsin because of the ice in the river. This port is never closed by igce, but cannot afford a safe harbor for ship- ping until a large breakwater is con- structed.

And on that a‘ea 77,289,000 people have the'r teing according to the official report of 1918. “And this empire is no longer drunk with the color and perfume of the four seasons; neither does it sit a long night through chanting.to the silver witchery of the ymoon. It has laid aside the happy and simple life of Acadia along wtih many . other childish things. It has come to. 'life in terms of trade and accumulated wealth. As. with you) Americans, it is the poetry of achievement that suilds the headlights of its dreaming and its aspirations,” ' Ambossador Sato told ‘the story of Japanese: industrial growth. He told of the first silk filature, established ‘in Japan in 1872 under the supervision of a French engineer, ut a time when the total exports of Japan, ‘/including everything from silk to driled cuttle- fish” amounted to only $8,500,000 a year, whereas last year Japan's ex- port of raw-silk alone was valued over $133,500,000. He told how an obscure student established the first match factory in a private house in Tokio in 1875, and how Japan had developed this, industry until in 1916, she ex- ported over $10,000,000 worth of matches. He told of the first cotton- ginning mill of the western type in Japan. It was of British manufag- ture, completed in 1863 and managed by an American expert. ‘‘Today,” he said, *“Japan has 160 spinning fac- | tgries with the combined paid-up cap- 1 and reservé of more than $62,- 000,000 gold, while cotton yarp came next. to silk as the mogt important item in Japanese exports.
