I
AGAIN—THE LEAGUE
_ I
John W. Davis, democratic nomi-j
nee tor the presidency, finds luck j
breaking against him in advocating I
that the United States join the league!
of nations, just as the controversy
over the immigration question bobs;
up in Geneva. In view of the league
assembly’s action in yielding to Jap
tn, Mr. Davis’ appeals will be met by
the American people with stolid indif
ference—or a more determined stand j
hat the league is the best thing in i
the world for us to stay out of.
While the immigration question
was not specifically mentioned in Ja-!
pan's opposition to the “protocol” as j
uriginally drawn it cannot be disasso- j
dated from the incident, and the Ja- j
panese spokesmen admit that it is
me of the questions at issue
So insistent was public sentiment
in the United States when the league
covenant was being drawn, that the
immigration question was placed be
yond its pale on the ground that this
is purely a domestic problem and can
not be drawn into international dis- j
cussion. But with oriental patience,1
Japan bided its time. It was realized
that so far as Tokio was concerned,
it was not a closed incident. It was
proposed in connection with the “pro
tocol” to the arbitration covenant
that any question declared by the
world court to be a domestic ques
tion was out of the league’s juris
diction and that any nation which
refused to abide by the court’s ruling
would be deemed an aggressor. Japan
refused to approve this elapse and
would have voted against the proto
col had not a compromise been reach
ed. That compromise makes it pos
sible for a nation, in such a circum
stance, to take its case before the
league council for a hearing.
In other words, under the terms of
the compromise effected, the league
council is made superior to the in
ternational court—and even an issue
determined judicially to be an inter
nal question may be carried to a
higher tribunal for political determi
nation. The incident is of peculiar
moment to this country because our
government has passed a law barring
the Japanese and other orientals and
—like other countries, including Jap
an—holds to the view that immigra
tion is solely a domestic question.
It is interesting that Australia,
I part of the British empire, and which
; has raised the barriers against the
i Japanese, announces through its pre
mier that it will not accept the com
: promise. That brings to the fore
front of discussion the point that the [
United States is not alone in its atti- j
tude toward oriental immigration, j
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and
South Africa are less hospitable to!
the Japanese than is the United j
States. The Japanese spokesman at j
Geneva, for example, said that al
though Japanese were treated with j
respect in the United States they
were not allowed to occupy hotels in
British South Africa. In other words,
the British empire faces the same
situation as does our own country in
regard to the issue, although it dif
fers in the important respect that it
is a member of the league of nations
while the United States, by prefer
ence and volition, is an outsider.
The viewpoint of Japan may be so
understood without being accepted.
Japan seeks room for its overflow
population and prefers the "white
man's country'.” It shows no bellig
erency in its attitude toward the is
sue before the league, saying only
that though the. world court may de
clare immigration to be a domestic
problem, it still asks the privilege
of carrying on negotiations without
being placed in the position of an ag
gressor state. That is logical from
Tokio’s standpoint, but it does not
alter the determination of other
countries to say who they shall or
shall not admit to their populations.
The position of the United States
as a non-member of the league is the
more secure than that of a league j
' signatory and its determination to re- j
nia.n master of its own affairs is
only hardened by the incident.
MY, WHAT A LONG WAIT!
Territorial government, if it ever
comes will arrive the day after they
make congress, the supreme court,
the White House, and the county tax
collector as free from politics as the
weather bureau is now. And that
will be the next day after—NEVER.

It is, of course, his head and his
mustache, but one of our contempor
aries believes “Brother Charley”
would be a much better looking man
if he would have some facial artist
clip his coffee strainers and transplant
them on the vacant 40 in township 24,

No, the Schick Test is quite a dif

Review.
It isn't so much what the average
man stands for, as what he falls for.
It is all right to tell mother every
thing, if she can stand the shock.
In polite society it is always much
easier to do the proper thing than
the right thing.—Springfield, 111 Jour

Some folks have an idea that “back
to nature” is a fashion and not a
movement, blushes a Missourian pa

There is less deceit in the saucy ur
chin who makes many faces at you
