JAP PAPER HAS
NOTION ISLANDS
MUSJJE III
! TOKO.—Pubic opinion in Japa
! is not entirely unanimous on th
! question whether Japan shall retai
(possession of the Marshall and Caro
| line Islands which she took fror
Germany and now holds. The Osak
| Mainichi sets forth the attitude o
many Japanese thinkers in an artici
m which that newspaper insists tha
the islands shall be retained Th
Mainichi declares that, if Americ,
was allowed to seize and forth";
Hawaii and thus to greatly threatei
Japan; if she w^ permitted to oc
eupy Guam and the Philippine;
making them not only a source o
wealth to herself, but also a grea
menace to Japan, China and th'
British and Dutch possessions; i
Australia and New Zealand hav
similar control over N'ew Guinea an
Samoa; it is certain that Japai
shall possess the Marshall and Ca ■ >
line islands, exercising the i
right and rule over them.
"And in doing this,” the pape
asserts, “Japan will be only aetin;
the part of a small watch dog faith
fully protecting its own house, h
a very different manner and spiri
from the American wolf whose wolf
ish ambition is indeed to be feared
If Japan is not allowed to fortif;
the islands she took from German;
and which of right belong to her
then the defenses of Gibraltar, tin
Suez Canal and other points shoul(
be razed.
“Racial deseriminatory treatmen
in these respects too, should b>
abolished and these islands not b<
left to white man’s domination.”
The opposite view was expresset
by Yukio G;.aki, former minister
justice, in an address delivered r
Tok o recently, ;n whvh he said
"It is, indeed, a great honor foi
Japan to occupy the position ol
a stockholder in that great interna
tional corporation, the League o1
Nations. The honor is far greate:
than Japan will obtain by the poss
ession of the Marshal! and Carolin:
islands.”

JAPS ARE CONSIDERING
LAND OWNERSHIP LAWS
TOKIO.—A bill conferring the
' right of land ownership upon foreign
[residents of Japan is reported to
' be under the consideration of the
government. Discussions of the
League of Nations have convince.!
many Japanese that Japan must take
j steps to open her own doors wide if
she wishes other nations to listen
to her demands for equal treatment.
For these reasons it is reported
that the government is considering
, legislation giving foreigners right
of land ownershp. mining rights and
; rights of coastwise trade; also legis
lation for the free admission of
I Chinese labor.
| A law giving foreigners the right
j to own land in Japan was passed
j by the Imperial Diet in 1910, but the
j enforcement of the act, like many
j others, has been “reserved” and
| never put into operation.
