Senator Dixon from Montana is much in evidence in framing the tariff legislation; he is one of the senate's leading spirits of whom all Montana is proud. We do not think that the governor who signed the Jim Crow bill in Montana is any better than the republican senate that passed it. The efforts of many of our citizens to procure a homestead in the Flethead country is a valuable omen. And the farm is the road to independence. And now what has become of the Protective League and shall they wait until another election is in sight to get busy. In relation to the seeming discontent of some of our people as to the administration of St. James during the past conference year, we believe the present pastor to be a conscientious worker for the church and the uplift of the race. A consistent race man who believes in patronizing and encouraging race enterprises. CONFERENCE SOON TO MEET The time is rapidly approaching for the Puget Sound A. M. E. conference to meet in our midst and it behooves all of our people to be up and doing for the successful entertainment of the same so that Helena will not suffer in comparison to the reception which this body has been given in other cities. While Helena does not come up in numbers of our race as in other places where this conference has met, it certainly will not be found wanting in its zeal to welcome the church builders and all efforts for the progress of a struggling race and to properly meet these requirements it is well that all should put their shoulders to the wheel and help. Bishop Grant, one of the greatest men of our race, will lecture while in our city and all the people, both black and white, should avail themselves of hearing this great divine. WILL LECTURE. While here holding conference, the Rt. Rev. Bishop Abraham Grant has consented to deliver a lecture, the subject of which will be "The Value of Discontentment." The lecture will be under the auspices of the Progress club Friday night during conference. The bishop stands in the front rank as a speaker and no one should fail to hear him on this occasion. Announcement of place and price of tickets will be made later. It is possible that a banquet will be given after the lecture. Offical Call Western Negro Press Association.

W. hall on sixth Ave. the members of Golden City Lodge in honor of Naomi lodge put on one of the most elaborate banquets ever given by our peoule in the city.

The committee, consisting of J. W. Crump, J. L. Ellis and W. Cotters, are to be congratulated for the grand success which attended the efforts of Golden City lodge to entertain their sisters. Helena, Montana, Friday, Jnly 30 1909 Timely Article On Labor Issne Changing Issues. Political issues have decidedly changed within the past few years. All classes of citizens seem to realize it except the Negro. He still votes under the influence of 1863 and the abolition of slavery. Our people are apparently standing with their mack to the future, gazing in rapture at the fast-declining rays of a setting sun. The principles and isms of our early freedom have long since become history. New questions of public policy occupy the stage and we must face about and understand them. Over at Washington just now the spectacle of the House and Senate endeavoring to "revise the tariff downward" so as to take the wind out of Democratic sails, and yet keep it high enough to satisfy "the interests" and protect American Labor. And this is the kernel of the nut. In this "protection to American Labor" the Negro has no lot or interest. The colored orators sent out by the party bosses still tell the dolorous story of emancipation and Democratic hypocrisy. If it were possible to eliminate a few discredited fireeaters from the Democratic party, the best-trained Negro with a microscope could not find the line of difference between the two old parties question only crops out, like the convenient ghost of the Witch of Endor, when called forth. The trust, the tariff and American labor is the absorbing topic at present and it behooves the Afro-American orators to get busy along these lines. The great struggle of tomorrow will be between labor, organized and unorganized, on the one hand, and combined capital on the other. A few years ago the world roared with laughter when Ignatius Donnelly in his "Caesar's Column" drew the dismal picture of the coming struggle. But those who have followed the trend of events can see the shadow of coming trouble. Where will the Negro be in the struggle? Organized Labor and the Negro The struggle between labor and capital has been of long standing. Organized labor is centuries old. In its inception it knew no race; no creed; no nothing, but the betterment of the laboring class. In this day organized labor is for the uplift of the workingman, and has done much to make his arduous conditions more bearable. But it is no longer the allinclusive organization of yore. It is for the laboring man—but more especially the white man. It is notorious that almost every labor union bars the Negro, and meagre are his chances for a place as an apprentice. The union secures better hours, better wages, and strives to raise the standard of workmanship. To all these benefits the Negro is excluded. We know much of labor unions in the West. Out here almost every form of labor is organized and their federated. And from these unions except hod-carriers, the Negro is barred. The Negro is a strong sturdy laborer, possessing exceptional mental capacity and physical energy and endurance. With out the careful training of an apprenticeship, when given a chance he soon acquires remarkable technical knowledge of any trade. The great mass of the Negroes are laborers. They are a very potential factor in the labor market. Where will they be in the coming struggle? Excluded from the unions, and hounded by the petty, spiteful hatred of ignorant labor clacquers, will they stand shoulder to shoulder with those "who toil in the heat of the day," or will they be forced to those "who toil not, neither do they spin"? Ignorant Prejudice. Elsewhere on this page we reproduce an editorial comment from the Miners' Magazine relating to the very recent decision of the Georgia Board of Arbitration in the case of railroads employing Negro firemen. It is a splendid rebuke to the carping prejudice of the labor union and a strong appeal to the manhood of the nation. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen of Georgia protested against the employment of the Negro, and the railroad companies checked the question up to the State Board of Arbitration, and the board decided in favor of the Negro. And the howl goes on. If the labor unions of the nation were honest in their expressed desire to help the struggling lainsist on the Negro firemen being paid the scale. Over in Wyoming a short time ago a Japanese construction company secured the contract for building the waterworks system. The vision of several thousand Japs flinging dirt and taking in the equivalent roused the ire of the "laboring classes" and a strong protest against the winners of the contract was made. Canada has removed some of the restrictions on Chinese immigration and the conditions confronting the clans of organized labor become daily more complex. And, where will the Negro be in the coming struggle? He's rising! Intelligent Understanding. An intelligent understanding of current questions is what our people need. They must turn from the contemplation of the sad-faced martyr and grapple with the present. The Negro must know the causes of financial depression, and have a full knowledge of his relation to labor. He must know these things not as a beautiful theory, but as hard facts. And knowing these things he must place his ballot and his moral influence where it will do the most good. The getting of wealth alone will not solve the problem. We must get ALL that goes to make a people. The lawyers, the teachers, the editors and orators must bring these things clearly before the masses of our people. Race hatred will pass away when both sides can see and intelligently understand the relation they bear to each other. Labor cannot succeed without giving a square, fair deal to ALL the laboring elements. So long as present conditions prevail the efforts of organized labor will be neutralized by the laboring element outside the order. The Negro, as well as any other class will be forced to stand with his friends. Let us labor to eliminate race hatred in the labor world. The New York Helena, Mont.

The Arbitration Board has practically settled the strike of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen in Georgia, and it is needless to say that the railroad company got the best of the settlement. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen made a serious mistake when the organization raised the barriers against the black man, thereby bringing about a race war which could only end in an advantage to the exploiter. The black man filled the position of fireman for one dollar less per day than the white man, and the Brotherhood permitted this injustice to be meted out to a race that is struggling against all the prejudices born of the centuries. The smaller parasite in commercial circles in Georgia was in sympathy with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen in the fight against the Negro, not because the parasite was in sympathy with the labor movement but because of a race hatred, and because the dollar less per day paid to the Negro fireman forced him to economize on the necessaries of life. The parasite of the South realized that the white man with a salary of $30 per month above that of his black brother was a more valuable customer and his patronage was more to be desired than the patronage of the miserable wretch who, on account of his color, and the hatred against him, was forced to accept in silence one dollar per day less than the white fireman regardless of the fact that this colored slave of the Georgia Railway Company performed the same service.

If the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen does not reach down its hand to lift the man from below then the man below will drag the Brotherhood to his level and the railway companies of Georgia and every other state in which the Negro becomes a factor to be reckoned with in the labor market, will give their aid and support in bringing about a condition of almost absolute servitude in the railway service. The labor organizations of today must have a broad foundation, and the doors of unionism must be opened wide to every wage earner, no matter what may be his color or creed, or no matter whether he comes from Southern Europe or the Orient. The time has passed when the white man can afford to lock the doors of the labor organization against the black, brown and yellow races. These races are here, in America, and organized labor must assimilate these races, or else Capitalism will utilize these races to crush unionism wherever possible. Miners' Magazine.

Tawney of the appropriations committee. HARVEST OUTLOOK GOOD Most Every Section of the Northwest Will Show Big Gain. Weather conditions are ideal for the grain harvest and early threshing returns more than bear out expectations of a heavy yield. Around Washtucna, where harvesting has already begun, farmers are surprised at the abundant yield and excellent quality. In the Ritzville country the wheat already cut is better than was expected. An average yield of from 25 to 30 bushels an acre is now confidently predicted. Similar cheering reports come from the Palouse country. Down in the Lewiston country the prospects were never better. Weather conditions are also favorable for the hay crop and, with good prices for this product and a very large acreage, the returns from hay will be second only to those from wheat. It has never failed in 30 years of the farming history of the Inland Empire that prosperity on the farms brought brisk business to the towns and cities. Four Old Officers to Rest. Four more retired naval officers were relieved Saturday from duty on the active list and ordered to their homes. They are Captain H. George, commanding the auxiliary cruiser Dixie; Commander F. G.

NORTHWEST STATES ITEMS OF IDAHO, MONTANA, WASHINGTON AND OREGON. A Few Interesting Items Gathered From Our Exchanges of the Surrounding Country—Numerous Accidents and Personal Events Take Place—Spring Outlook Is Good. WASHINGTON STATE NEWS. Records for fast harvesting in southeastern Washington this season were broken one day last week when a steam threshing outfit, operated by Josh Barnes in Spring valley, near Waitsburg, cut and threshed 1948 sacks of barley between sun-up and dark. The record is remarkable on account of the necessity to move the machine twice during the day and that two headers supplied the grain for the run. It goes 80 bushels to the acre. J. W. Thompson, superintendent of parks at Seattle, with his wife and two daughters, had a miraculous escape from death Saturday afternoon while driving in the automobile near La Grande.

MONTANA NOTES President Taft will visit Butte on his western trip this fall, going there from Salt Lake City, where he will address the National veterans' encampment August 12. Dr. Thomas D. Tuttle, secretary of the state board of health, is at Seattle to purchases a tuberculosis exhibit for the state. The cost of the exhibit is to be defrayed by the Montana Health association, which authorized the expenditure at the recent meeting of that body at Missoula. The exhibit will be utilized in the fight against tuberculosis now being conducted by Montana doctors in general, who constitute the membership of the health association. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway company has quit the state of Montana according to a document filed with the secretary of state and the inference is that its lines in the southern part of the state will herafter be conducted by the Great Northern exclusively. The mutilated body of a youth, presumably about 18 years of age, was found beside the Northern Pacific track about two miles west or Missoula recently. The head was battered badly and across the left shoulder is a long wound, apparently made with a heavy weapon. At the county morgue investigation revealed papers which tend to prove the lad is Charles Iben, formerly of Peoria, III. An investigation is being held. Tidal Wave At Galveston Galveston, Texas, Juni 22. — Man's strength and skill won against the fury of the elements Wednesday, when Galveston, safely entrench behind her 17-foot seawall, built since the tidal wave and hurricane that destroyed a greater bart of the city on September 8, 1900, withstood an attack by wind and wave equal in force to that of nine years ago. Ten people were drowned in the water that swept over a portion of Tarpon, seven miles from the city. Among them are Captain Bellison and wife, Edward Lewis, C. H. Daily, circulation manager of the Galveston Tribune. From other cities in the affected area come reports of narrow escapes and much destruction of property. Much anxiety is felt for the smaller towns along the gulf coast. Some are so anxious to be good that they are good for nothing. WAS PRETENDER TO THRONE OF SPAIN YEARS AGO. Suffered Long With Apoplexy—Headed a War Beginning in 1873, Lasting Four Years, and Lost Out—His Defenders Taking Refuge in France—Son to Follow Father's Policies. Rome, July 19.—Don Carlos of Bourbon, pretender to the Spanish throne, died Sunday at Varez in Lombardy. He had been ill for a long time and the latest reports indicated that he was suffering from apoplexy. Don Carlos, duke of Madrid, who claimed, under the special law of succession established by Philip V, to be the legitimate king of Spain, by the title of Charles VII, was born at Laybach, Austrin, March 30, 1848. His father, Don Juan, was the brother of Don Carlos, Charles VII, known as the Count de Montemona, in support of whose claims the Carlist uprisings of 1848, 1855 and 1860 were organized. As Charles VII died in 1861 without children, his rights devolved upon his brother, Don Juan, who had married the Archduchess Marie Teresa of Austria. Their son, Don Carlos, married Margaret de Bourbon. In October, 1868, Don Juan abdicated in favor of his son, whose standard was raised in the north of Spain in 1872 by some of his partizans. Don Carlos himself, after addressing a proclamation to the inhabitants of Catalonia, Aragon and the provinces, calling upon them to take arms in his cause, entered Spain in July, 1873, and announced that he came to rule the country. Then came the four years' war, ending in 1876, when Tolosa, the last stronghold of the Carlists, fell, and its defenders sought refuge on French territory. Meanwhile the republic ended and the eldest son of former Queen Isabella took the Spanish throne as Alfonso XII. Stork Squelches Disloyalty. Alfonso XII died in 1885 and the fight for the succession raged between Don Carlos and Marie Christina of Austria, widow of the late king. The posthumous birth of the present king in 1886, however, kindled a feeling of loyalty that has existed up to the present. Within recent years there has been a recurrence of the Carlist agitation in Catalonia and other districts, which was attributed to the influence of Don Jaime, the only son of Don Carlos, but these movements were of little importance. Don Jaime says he will follow the policies of his father, Don Carlos. SHOWS PROSPERITY WAVE Bailways Are Placing Heavy Orders for Equipment The best evidence that the country is again on a firm basis of prosperity is shown in enormous purchases and bids for equipment and betterments by railroads. These infallible arteries of trade must speedily adjust themselves to the rising flood of business and their orders mean additional prosperity for the mills and manufacturers. The Pullman company of Chicago is now bringing out a heavy order from the Santa Fe, the first passenger equipment purchased by that system since 1906, owing to depression in business. This order is made operative by the Balen cutoff and other new lines. It calls for 130 steel passenger cars. The Baltimore & Ohio is in the market for 6000 freight cars, 70 passenger cars and 65 locomotives, for immediate delivery. This order amounts to $10,000,000. The Chesapeake & Ohio road has ordered 50 new locomotives. The Chicago & Northwestern has placed orders for 1000 boxcars, 500 gondolas and 500 ore cars. The Missouri Pacific will receive on August 1, 25 of an order for 100 locomotives. In addition to these there are miscellaneous orders placed in smaller lots for 2000 mining cars and 5000 other cars of all descriptions.

Seattle, July 20.—Through the poorest of a woman the police have been able to capture the members of a gang of criminals who, they believe, have been systematically robbing houses in Seattle, Vancouver, B. C., Portland Ore., and Tacoma. H. G. Moore, who the police say, is an ex-civet from San Francisco is the alleged leader of the gang. The police profess to have a complete confession from Moore. Officers arrested as members of the gang are Claude Payne, Steve Adams and a woman giving the name of Mrs. O. D. Slayter. It was owing to her jealousy of Mrs. Slayter that another woman upon whom Moore had been beating his affections, told the police of the operations of the gang and led Mrs. Slayter into a trap that resulted in his arrest and the capture of his co Claude Payne is a young man who says he has made a living as a police pocket and has been Moore's assistant in several jobs. He is held as a complice. Steve Adams, who was formerly a railroad employee, assisted disposing of the mass of stolen goods the police say. Five diamonds, many watches, jewelry, a dozen or more rings, cutlery, ver and other articles have already been recovered. Moore came here with Mrs. Slayer and the other two members of his gang, he says, and started on a capeign of burglary. He finally ceased lavishing money to Mrs. Slayer and met the woman who was his downfall. She basked in sunshine of his smiles for awhile, then the green-eyed monster answered. Declare Order Forbidding Purchase Herring in B. C. Waters Hs Ulterior Motive. Seattle.—According to owners of American halibut vessels the recent order for forbidding Americans to buy ring bait in British Columbia waters intended to force Americans to put their ships under the British flag and transfer their business to the Canadian side, as one Boston company has ready done. The American fishermen say that Japanese fishermen are giving every privilege over Americans by the regulations just promulgated by the Dominion council. In the barbor of Nanaimo alone, between November 1, 1908, and February 15, 1909, Japanese fishermen caught 9,000 tons of herring, salted them and shipped them to Japan to feed the countrymen. It is these fish that are required in certain seasons of the year by American manuvi vessels and with the dominion government absolutely refuses to any vessel carrying the Sea and Stripes.

McLean's newspaper—was once sent into a small town in southwestern Ohio to get the story of a woman evangelist who had been greatly talked about. The reporter attended one of her meetings and occupied a front seat. When those who wished to be saved were asked to arise, he kept his seat and used his notebook. The woman approached, and, taking him by the hand, said, "Come to Jesus." "Madam," said the newspaper man, "I'm here solely on business to report your work." "Brother," said she, "there is no business so important as God's." "Well, maybe not," said the reporter, "but you know John McLean." The glowing reporter who wrote with reference to a well known beauty: "Her dainty feet were encased in shoes that might have been taken for fairy boots," tied his wardrobe up in his handkerchief and left for parts unknown when it appeared the next morning: "Her dirty feet were encased in shoes that might have been taken for ferry boats."

He Is Great Figure in Politics of Japan and Is to Be President of Council—Says China Looms Large and Becomes the Problem of the Day for Civilized World—He Is for Peace in Far East. New York, July 19.—Sixteen persons, five of them women, were drowned Sunday in the waters in the vicinity of New York. Ten persons perished after the capizing of the excursion sloop Roxana, carrying 22 passengers. Six were victims of swimming accidents. Captain Samuelson of the Roxana and the 12 survivors were picked up under great difficulties in a rough and choppy sea, by the tug Lamont. The Roxana was chartered at Ulmer beach, Brooklyn, by a party of Swedes from Brooklyn, for a sail across the bay to Midland beach, Staten island, and back. The trip over was made without mishap and all hands went ashore to make merry. Beer was served and some survivors could give but a hazy account of the accident. All afternoon there was a stiff breeze from the southwest, which left a heavy cross-sea. Toward 4 o'clock the Roxana slipped into a squall and before the captain could slack away his sheet the boat was bottom up and the water was black with bobbing heads. Soon the Roxana vanished and the struggling passengers began to follow her. Fortunately, the tug Lamont kept a sharp lookout. Captain Keyster saw the sloop turn over. Instantly he headed for the spot, but before he could reach the Roxana three more passengers had gone down. Life lines and buoys were thrown to those still afloat and after a few minutes of brisk work all in sight were rescued. U. S. IN BIG TIMBER DEAL Government Sells 50,000,000 Feet for $100,000. The federal government has just completed the sale of one of the biggest blocks of timber made in the state of Washington in the transfer of 50,000,000 feet of lumber to the Balcom Vanderhoof company, aggregating a total of $100,000. The company has proceeded to take the timber off the land at the rate of 60,000 feet daily, as a limited time is given for its removal. The laws provide that 25 per cent of the amount received from the sale of the timber is placed in the school fund of the county in which the timber is sold.

Earthquake in Greece. Athens, Greece.—From reports sent in by the prefects of the province of Elis, the casualty list in the earthquake a week ago does not appear so large as was at first feared. Twenty-six persons lost their lives. There were further earth shocks in the province of Elis Saturday. Two people were killed and 30 others injured at the village of Upusisti, where molten lava is flowing from a fissure of the ground. Practically all the houses in this village have collapsed. At Damisea four persons have been killed and 24 injured. The population of the stricken villages are living in the open without shelter. Tidewater Wheat Prices. Portland, Ore.

Invasion of Harriman Territory Said to be Planned. With what the Oregonian says comes to it with a fair degree of authenticity and from a man possessing minor railroad interests in Oregon, as a ground work, that paper prints an article in which the forecast is made that James J. Hill is about to embark in extensive railroad construction in Oregon and perhaps also into California. The alleged scheme embraces the purchase of the Oregon Trunk, a parallel line to the Deschutes road, now under construction by the Harriman system into central Oregon, and of the Pacific & Eastern railroad, a short road running from Medford, Ore., into the Cascade mountains. This latter road indirectly is an asset of the defunct Oregon Trust and Savings bank of this city and from a source closely connected with the bank it is learned, the paper states, that negotiations are pending for its sale. It is also stated by the Oregonian that Porter Brothers, owners of the Oregon Trunk survey, were in close touch with John F. Stevens, formerly chief engineer of the Panama canal, said now to be in the employ of the Hill interests and who has been in Oregon for some time under an alleged assumed name. Dr. J. F. Reddy of Medford, who has reorganized the Pacific & Eastern, is quoted by the Oregonian as admitting that he spent several days in going over his company's lines with Mr. Stevens. TAFT WINS TARIFF FIGHT Free Raw Materials Is Hobby Now: adays. Washington.—President Taft will win his fight for free raw materials or reduced duties. Nearly every member of the tariff conferences concedes this. The indications are that when the new tariff bill becomes a law the rates on the articles which the president desires to come in free will be as follows: Iron ore, free (present rate 40 cents a ton). Oil, free (now protected by countervailing duty). Hides, 7 1-2 per cent ad valorem (present rate 15 per cent). Coal, 45 cents a ton (present rate 67 cents a ton). Lumber, probably $1.25 on rough, with senate rates on finished. This would be a material reduction throughout the lumber schedule. When the conferences transferred to the president's shoulders the responsibility of putting the foregoing raw materials on the free list it was not believed he would meet with success in swinging congressmen and senators into line. For several days, however, members of congress have been going to the White House and not a few of them came away convinced that the president was right in insisting on lower duties. It was also acknowledged that any reduction in rates on these articles would amount to an administration triumph. SHAH DEAF TO DOWNFALL NEWS Dethroned Ruler Refuses to Hear of New Sovereign. Teheran, Persia, July 20.—Mohammed Ali, the dethroned shah of Persia, who is now in the Russian summer legation, has declined to receive a deputation to inform him of his deposition. Siparhardar and Sardarasad, the nationalist leaders sent a telegram to the British and Russian legations last night requesting them to fix a time today when his majesty may receive a deputation notifying him of the change of sovereigns. The former shah replied this morning that, having taken refuge in the Russian legation, he had abdicated; therefore, he did not wish to receive a deputation to inform him of the fact.

JAPAN AND KOREA PRINCE ITO OF JAPAN SAYS FUTURE IS BRIGHT. Sudden Squall Capsizes Their Sloop Roxana and Five Ladies Lost Lives—Before the Captain Could Slack Away His Sheet the Boat Was Bottom Up—Tugs Quick to the Rescue. Tokio.—"Korea today is not a source of great anxiety to Japan," said Prince Ito Tuesday. "The future of that country depends upon the Koreans. The policy outlined nearly two years ago has been carried out with but little deviation, and there is every reason to look hopefully into the future of Korea." Prince Ito, the great central figure in the political history of Japan, is retiring from the position of resident general of Korea to take his seat as president of the privy council. The prince said: "China looms large and becomes the problem of the day, not only for Japan but for the whole civilized world. Consequently it is on China that our best thoughts must be centered and not upon Korea, where I am glad to say the sword has been turned into a plowshare. "Peace in the far east is essential to the prosperity of Japan, Korea and the possessions of this country, and we will engage our every endeavor to preserve peace. China is perhaps better understood by Japan than by any other country in the world. In a sense we have a common language and common customs and Japan has drawn from China the best of a civilization extending back 4,000 years. Japan Friendly to China. "To say that Japan is not a friend of China is to say what is not true. We are grateful to China for many benefits received. I am now speaking of the best elements of society of both countries. Each is to the other unknown as far as the masses are concerned and of late the masses in China have not shown themselves friendly toward the Japanese. "It is unnecessary to go into the cause; the effect or result remains, and while statesmen of each country may understand each other there are problems to be worked out—problems that grow out of misunderstandings, misrepresentation and even intrigues. "There is discontent and poverty in China, there is unrest, there is something moving under the cover from one end of that great country to the other and throughout its various provinces. It becomes the duty of Japan, therefore, having the desire for peace, having the desire for industrial development of China as her next neighbor and her best market, to observe in spirit and in letter the terms of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, which calls for co-operation in the maintenance of the integrity of China and a more friendly promotion of common interests. Peace With Honor Wanted. "This we propose to do, and even the suggestion of aggression, of territorial aggrandizement on the part of Japan as far as China is concerned is as far from the truth as it is possible for any one to go. It is peace we, here in Japan, want and peace, we must have—not peace at any cost, but peace with honor. "It is the demand for control by the younger and progressive element of China that forms the menace, not first of all to any other country, but to China itself. A constitution is demanded and it is said a constitution is to be granted, but a constitution must be carefully prepared, as unorganized administration must bring chaos which means revolution. "To help in bringing about conditions that will secure for Japan and China a long period of friendly intercourse and commerce is an object to which we must devote both time and attention."
