She was al- lowed to do so, but only on con- dition that she should not make public addresses, but speak only fo small and exclusive gather. ings, and after special permission if each case. Mr, Yuchi, head of the police department, said that they were allowing Mrs. Sanger to land in opposition to the prevailing opin- ‘tons in the house of peers. “I personally think,” said he, “that there is every reason for encouraging birth control among the people of the lower classes, but this is no reason for allowing her to make addresses, What we are afraid of is that the propags- tion of the methods advocated by her would encourage birth control in the well-todo classes.” Rather a remarkable utterance, this, The idea of pi.cing a body of knowledge in the hands of the benighted common people of dapan and keeping it from the well-to-do is original, to say the least. And yet, one can understand Mr. Yuchi's position, which ts doubtless that of many. It says right out what Roosevelt prob- ably meant when he spoke of “race suicide.” Roosevelt could hardly have desired that our poor. est classes should increase their birthrate. They are not commit ting “race suicide.” The former president could not very well draw the distinctions between the rich and poor made by the Japanese police official, but “race suicide” among the weil-todo was no doubt what he opposed? It is worth while to consider, in Justification of Mr, Yucht's state- ment that if the birth-rate of Japan were for any reason to fall, say, to one child per family, or to that of France, which is a little higher, the pressure of popu lation would cease in a genera tion, the standard of living would ——|rise, and the underlying cause of Japan's preparations for war would end. ‘The pressure of population on subsistence is Japan's grea problem; and her public officials seem to realize it.

First, the treaty is not @ treaty of military alliance under |which Americans will ‘ever fight alongside the Japanese against Rus- sia or China fore sufficient votes could be secured guarantee its ratification a reservation was tached to jt reading as follows: “Th United States understands that under the statement in the preambie or un- der the terms of this treaty there is no commitment to armed force, no alliance, no obligation to join in any | defense : in the second place. mental treaty which three days after the main treaty carries with it in the form of a reservation a declaration which was also attached to main treaty be. fore it was signed by the delegates to the confer , and which reads as follows the treaty | this day between the United States of America, the British Empire, France und Japan be the the signatory powers; 2—That the controversies in whicW&the seco paragraph of Article 1 refers shail not be taken to embrace questions which according to principles of in: ternational law lie exclusively with in the domestic jurisdiction of the respective powers.” Ag stated in a news dispatch from Washington, “this provision was put in for the express purpose of satisfying that very large body of Americans inhab. iting particularly the Pacific Coast region and making it clear to them that the conference would never have power to deal with such ques- tions as immigration or land owner. ship. In other words, with such an undérstanding attached to the four power treaty it was made certain that Japan could not appeal to the conference from the acts of state j legislatures or of congress restrict- ing Japanese immigration or pro: hibiting Japanese ownership of land.” Now, as to the part played by the American Legion in bringing about incorporation of tne last mentioned reservation in the four-party treaty, While the disarmament confer. ence was in session a letter was addressed to Prosident Harding signed by the department comman: ders of the departments of Califor. nia, Oregon and Washington of the American Legion.
