NOTES.
“Unless the Americans do something to prevent it, the Hawaiian Islands will, in the course of time, become, practically Japanese,” remarked Dr. C. Chilton in the course of a lecture at Canterbury College. The total school population of the islands was 43,271, and of this number 17,546 were Japanese childoren. The United States was endeavouring to make these children “good Americans,” and compelled them to attend the State schools, but the Japanese, were a quiet-work-ing people, and they contrived to have schools of their own, which the children could- attend before and after being at American schools.
“President Harding's action in not inviting representatives of the Dominions to the disarmament, conference is a necessary deduction from the Republican Party’s refusal to accept the separate voting power of the Dominions in the League of Nations,” says Professor Berriedale Keith in a- letter to the Times. “It is true that the Dominions mav be included in the British delegation, but the episode is a reminder that the Dominions have not attained full international status in the eyes of the United States. That status remains imperfect while the greatest worftlpower does not recognise it.”
