This means, principally, Japs. Simultaneously, dispatches are received from Vic- toria, B. C., telling of the action of the British Colum- bia legislature in calling upon the Dominion to amend the Canadian immigration laws in a similar manner. Big news this. The biggest since the Armistice. The Armistice ended a great war. Today's actions, if carried to their logical conclusion, will do more—they will help prevent another great war. The keynote of the whole situation was sounded by T. D. Patullo, British Columbia minister of lands, i closing the debate in the Canadian legislature. “T have no ill will for the Oriental,” he said. “But —there are biological differences between the Oriental and white races which must be recognized. Differ- ences which can only cause friction—and worse— unless they are recognized. “There is no reason why we should not trade to- gether in perfect amity. But let us occupy each our own sphere.” Members of Washington's congressional delegation would do well to study the doctrine of this Canadian statesman—not only for dealing with the exclusion of Japs, but also in connection with the equally im- portant plan to make children of Japanese, born in this country, ineligible to citizenship. It sums up both questions. There's no question but what the entire Washing- ton delegation, the whole Pacific Coast delegation, should get together behind Congressman Johnson's amendment.

MALLON WASHINGTON, Nov, 21—In a fighting message, President Hagding today dared the foes of the administration ship subsidy bill to assume the responsibility for defeating it. Declaring that no proposition Placed before congress ever met a “more resolute hostility,” the president, in a message delivered in person to the extraordinary session of congress, challenges his opponents to meet the issue fairly, The president went on record as being opposed to the repeal of laws such as the La Follette seamen’s act, designed to raise the standard of labor on American ships, saying “merest justice’ demanded their con- tinuance until all the world had been brought to the same level. These jjaws, some shipping interests con tend, make it impossible to compete with foreign marines. 12:35 p, m. The president devoted all of his message to a vigorous vocacy of the subsidy, Jonly one other national problem— additional relief for agriculture. This and other questions will. be dealt with in his message to the regular session which will meet om December 4. This problem can no longer be |tgnored, said the president. “Its at- {tempted solution cannot longer be postponed. The failure of congress to act decisively will be no less dis -|astrous than adverse action.” Carrying the fight with aggressive ness to the enemy's camp, Harding said he challenged “every insinuation of favored interests and the enrich- ment of the special few at the ex+ pense of the public treasury. I am, first of all, appealing to save the Thruout his ee the prest- dent argued that subsidy would save money to the treas- ury because of the large losses still being piled up by the ship ping board. These were estimated at $50,000, 000 a year, while the president said the cost of the subsidy would be half that amount. The executive made a fervent plea that America again be raised to a position of on among the maritime nations of the world. Striking directly at the oppost- tion to the measure, the pres dent said one of three courses is open to congress: “The first is constructive — enact the pending bill, under which, I firmly believe, an American mer chant marine, privately owned and privately operated, but serving all the people and always available to the government in any emergency, may be established and maintained,” he said, “The second is obstructive —con- tinue government operation and at- tendant government losses and dis courage private enterprise by gov ernment competition under which losses are met by the public treas: ury and witness the continued losses and deterioration until the colossal failure ends in sheer exhaustion, (Turn to Page 7, Column 4) | treasury.” ‘SENATE ADMITS WOMAN MEMBER Mrs. Rebecca Felton Sworn In WASHINGTON, Nov, 21.—Mrs, Rebecea Felton, the first woman senator In history, was sworn in as a member of the upper house of congress today.
