Sutherland as a member of the
court and was handed down In a
case brought by Taka Ozawa who
in 1914 applied, for citizenship In
Hawaii. ;- "; .- -

" The' ruling Is expected -to at
tract wide attention not only In
the United States but abroad, not

' diplomatic significance. K The case

its consideration was postponed at

-"gentlemen's agreement" under
which Japanese immigration Into

' The government" did: not object

It. was reached at thi term, and
the court' advanced and heard at

Justice Sutherland stated, could
not enter Jnto the decision of the
case. , We have no function In the
matter," he said, "other than to

" SecUon 2169 ftecldes
Thetwo questions decided by
the court were whether the gen

,1906, was limited by the provi

:vised sUtutes, authorizing the
naturalization of 'free white perr
sons" and those of African birth
and descent, and whether, if so
.limited. Japanese were eligible to
naturalization. In an, exhaustive
analysis of the history , of the
legislation, the court held that
'section 2169 was In full force and
that under it Japanese could not
obtain citizenship In this country.
Whites-Only Intended !

After 'a speech of welcome by
Mayor Moore who said that all

enforce the 18th amendment but
that inadequate forces of. prohi
bition were unable to cope wita
the ' problem, delegates from Ja
pan,, Germany and Austria told
of the battle being waged in their
countries against Intoxicating
liquor.
Mrs. O. N. Kubushiro of Japan
said that the Japanese unjon hadH
a total membership at present or
Z4,ooo men, women, and chil-
dren and that one of the great
est steps toward prohibition had
taken place with the passing of
the law last April, forbidding the
sale . of Intoxicating liquor to
minors. More than 10,000,000
minors are declared ' to be pro
tected by the measure. Mrs. Ku

be made the great. American busi

to 'work out some of the desper

Direct Lines Is Object
"The establishment of direct
lines of trade with foreign coun

Mr. Hawley says that the west is

Red Cross, Ever Watchful
of Unfortunate, Asks Mon
ey for Coming Year
There' are some relative
.
that
a soldier, out of luck may almost
always. . find - available. There's
Vllncle" Pawnbroker, who rives
him the 'least for the most and
gloats over the coat or the shoe
or thewatch or whatever the
shell-shocked' lad may have that
is negotiable. There's no roe;
no helf ful wish in the relation
with "Uncle."
But there is one klnsperson
who is always full of compassion
---"The Greatest Mother in the
World," the Red 'Cross. The sol
dier found that out almost at the
beginning of the war. He finds
it out, anew, almost every day.
Xot War Alone
The Red cross isn't solely a
war organization. It operates
along -'-'cosmopolitan lines and
wherever there1 is suffering, the
Red Gross Is there also. But
here in Oregon it is taking on
mostly the rehabilitation work of
the soldiers. It is doing practi
cally all of that, much of it that
some other organizations started
to do. Recently Salem was asked
to put on a Forget-Me-Not day
tor funds for the disabled war
veterans. The military and civic
authorities of the city, after care
ful investigation, decided that the
local Red ,-Cross was already do
ing all the "work more efficiently
than any other organization could
possibly do it, and voted to turn
all the local funds into the Red
Cross. It was a splendid vote of
confidence.
Some Money Xeeded
The Marion county Red Cross
needs money for the coming year.
It must have the money to func
tlon properly. It ma ices some
loans to out-of-luck soldiers who
have some prospect of repayment
like their federal settlements or
pensions. It gives money and ser
vices add looks after pensions and
every soldier ' claim against gov
ernment or state wherever need
ed.
There are fat-jowled men and
silk-hosed women who say: "Weil
why don't all these soldiers go
back to work and earn their own
living?"
Xot All Understood
To some such, it couldn't be
wen explained that there is
deadly soul sickness that follows
the. waste of war. that they
themselves never had because
they never had the other feeling
of patriotism that made them en
list. But" there is an invisible;
intangible mental illness that nets
many a brave soldier, as -surely as
a cannon ball will cut off his leg
or the typhoid waste his body or
the gas tear his lungs, and the
Red ' Cross is the sympathetic
mother that knows and treats

when asked what Turkey's de
mand will be In. the Near, East
conference here. --v y. - .
