THE BROWN MAN’S IDEALS.

U.S. PRESIDENCY.

AS RICH AS OUR OWN. k PROMINENT JAPANESE INTERVIEWED. New York. .Inly 11 The “New York Times” correspondent at Fokin interviewed Viscount Kaneko, a member of the Japanese Privy Council, who said: “The action of some people in' California threaten* to strain relations between Japan and the United States to a critical point. I do not fear any danger of a breach of diplomatic relations, hut I fear that if the proposed legislation to be submitted to a popular referendum in California in November is passed, there will be implanted in the Japanese mind a rankling sense of wrong inflicted by Americans that time will not efface. The average morality of*the Japanese in California is quite equal to that of anv other foreign people.’’ “If China and Japan stand for idealf as high as your own, then I hold they must Ee dealt with on a footing of absolute equality. _ It is my profound conviction that this carries with it the truth which all the great Englishspeaking communities will have to accept and act upon if their place in the world’s great hereafter is to he cotnr parable with that which it is today.’’ -—A. and N.Z.
