OPPOSITION TO KESOLUTION BEATEN There was some opposition to the resolution when it was brought be- fore Rainier Noble host last night— this being ascribed to friendship for the Rotary club, which has taken the stand of upholding Saito’s speech and condemning attacks on it--but Tin daj] readily battered down all objec- tions. | “Diplomatic representatives have been recalled for less than the statement made by Saito,” he declared, “but the worst thing is that this is only part of an in- sidious Japanese propaganda that has been instituted thruout the country in an effort to lull the American people into quies- cence. Salto is a Japanese sol- dier before he is a consul—just as every Japanese in this coun- try is a Japanese soldier, just as much as if he carried a gun on his shoulder, “If we permit the Japs to keep coming in until there are 50,000 | of them in Seattle there won't be any room on the sidewalks for | the white people.

Tindall silenced this by pointing out that the legion’s stand on the Japanese ques. tion had been decided by three na- tional and two state conventions, ACTS ON SAITO'S OWN VERSION The post did not act on the speech which Saito actually made before the Rotary club, but re ferred only to the typewritten copy which the consul himself gave out and which was a decidedly modi \fied version of his real speech This, Tindall explained, 80 Saito could not find loophole thru which | escape: | Particular objection was {two sections of the speech. first was | “I am pending was simply a possible he might taken to The to say that all between Japan rejoiced questions and America have been settled, ex cept one question, tho very com plicated, f Japanese residents in the Uni en that ques |tion, I am sure, will be susceptible of solution, if approached in the spirit of sympathy and conciliation |which now binds our two coun tries, if approached in the correct frame of mind, from a broad per |spective of internationalism.” | ‘The resolution set forth the opin ion that “all questions relating to Japanese residents in this country, including all questions of immigra- tion, land-ownership and citizenship, a purely domestic in character, are not subject to diplomatic nego: |tlation, nor proper to be discussed from an international point of view: that we believe these questions |should be settled by congress alone, haying in view solely the wishes (Turn to Page 8, Column 2) ng ot Veterans of Forei rans prominent in NEW TELEPHONE RATE ALLOWED 60-Day Test to Be Made of Measured Service OLYMPIA, March 21.—A 60-day test of measured telephone service at rates which will mean drastic re- ductions to 90 per cent of the sub- scribers was authorized by the de- partment of public worke today, to be instituted by the Puget Sound Telephone company at Everett, start- ing April 1 The length of all telephone conver- |sations will be measured by means jot the telechronometer, an instru- ment devised for that purpose, and subscribers will be billed for the number of telechrones consumed, a telechrone being one minute of tele- phone conversation.
