All they have to do is to take accounts of American Face riots or lynchings and magnify and distort them-to sult the purpose. These rumors always allege cam- paigns of race persecution by Amert- cans. Such propaganda serves not only to make the United States as a nation unpopular in these places, but it reacts viciously against American nationals abroad, trade agents, etc., and is a very effective means of de- stroying American commerce in the Far and Near East.

Hammond has been mentioned for secretary of commerce in the Hard- ing cabinet. He is a world famous engineer and an authority on Rus- sian affairs, “Japan must have an outlet for her population,” Hammond declared, “I do not want them in California The problem can be solved if Russia Will give Japan a large territory for @olonization and development in re- turn for a large sum which Russia would use to build a new railroad into China. All the nations concern- ed would greatly profit, the Far would be developed and the Un States would be relieved of a perplex- ing question.” SYDNEY, Australia, Web. 17—A 12foot shark caught at Woy Woy contained a full tin of mustard and = empty lemonade bottle, for a new trial.
