Effort Mads to Create Sympathy For
the Japanese People.
New York, March I. A mass meet
ing of Finns and Scandinavians was
held last evening at Clinton Assembly
hall, 164 Atlantic avenue, by the nwly
organised Japanese Red Cross Society,
the purpose of the meeting being to
arouse enthusiasm and sympathy and
to aid Japan by the solicitation of

It reads:
To the Japanese Residents of the Unit
ed States:
In the endeavor to maintain the ter
ritorial integrity of China and ensure
the Independence of Cores, which are
essential to the welfare and safety of
our own country, and also to protect
our rights and Interests, as well as to
secure the open door for the commerce
of all nations and those two countries.
our government, as you all know, hasj
since last year with much paUence !
tried every means of peaceful negotia
tion with the Russian government,
whose aggressive and threatening atti
tude In the far east has long been a
menace to the peace of the world. Un
fortunately, however, our just, reason- j
able and necessary proposals have all
been rejected. To our great r.'gret, ;
. diplomatic representations having j
wholly failed we have been driven to,
take up arms to -vindicate our cause. !
The Independence and Bafety of Japan i
are at stake in this contest. Although j
we may congratulate ourselves upon i
preliminary victories In naval engage
ments, the struggle ha3 but Just be
gun. We must still expect many dif
ficulties before the final triumph. Now
that our army and navy in the winter's
cold and on the stormy seas are brave
ly fighting for our emperor and coun
try, and sacrificing their lives In the
midst of shot and shell, let us, 'heir
brethren in this country, unite In the
expression of our patriotic zeal and
raise a fund to aid In this struggle for
,our natlo.ial existence."
Mr. Uchlda concluded his remarks by
thanking the society for the work al
ready started.
Gustax AmlnofC, treasurer of the so
ciety and an exile from Finland, told
of the existing conditions In Russia and
of the many cruelties administered to
the people.
