California Minister Declares His
Country Will Not Stand for
Discrimination,
“Certainly Japan will fight if nec
essary to protect the right* of her
subjects, no matter where they are.
\nd she will nol stand for unfair
discrimination.''
So said the Rev. Joseph K inaza-
wa. pastor of the Japanese Presby
terian Church of Los Angeles, a com
missioner to the General Assembly
of fhe Presbyterian Church, U. S. A.,
In session here.
"But" hastily added the Rev. In-
azawa. "I do not believe there will
ever be the necessity for appeal to
arms. This great American nation
and the nation of Japan are too
closely allied on the broad principles
of Christianity to permit a cruel
and disastrous war over a question
that might so easily be settled by
agreement or arbitration.
The Rev. Mr. Inazawa, with his
wife, a native Californian, will sail
in a feu weeks for Japan for a va
cation of several months. He has not
sedn his ative land In a quarter of
a century', having cast his lot on
the west coast of America exactly 26
years ago.
"It’s 26 on this side of the Pacific
and 26 on the other,” he expressed
it Friday morning in conversation
with a Georgian reporter Five years
of his life in America were spent In
the San Francisco Theological Sem
inary Twenty years he has spent
in evangelistic work among the Jap
anese of his State, working in many
‘ of-the principal cities and the rural
districts.
One of the indorsers of the Rev.
Mr Inazawa, commending his work
and bespeaking the kindly considera
tion of Christians everywhere, is the
Rev. Hugh K. Walker, formerly pas
tor of Immanuel Presbyterian Church
of Los Angeles, now' of Atlanta. In
fact, he bears the reputation of hav-
, ing done a great work among the
Japanese who have taken tip their
residence in California. His church
has granted him leave of absence to
visit the home land.
i Wife Raps Alien Bill.
Mrs. Inazawa. who is a woman of
\ ery strong conviction, thoroughly
sympathetic 1n all her husband’s ac
tivities, was even more pronounced
in her view that the Japanese were
being wrongly treated in the matter
'• of the anti-alien lane hill.
Mrs. Inazawa said:
It Just so happens that the Leg
islaturc this year Is strongly In fa
vor of that kind of attitude But you
would be surprised to know' the
strength of the sentiment against
Governor Johnson and ills followers,
the advocates y»f the bill.
“It is not so much the actual text
of the law," she continued, “as It
is the spirit that is behind it There
is* an indisputable feeling that Japan
is being unfairly treated, and you can
rest assured that Japan will not al
. low her subjects to be discriminated
• against. But out hope lies in tlv*
fact that there is such a strong feel
ing against the hill.
The Japanese are a hyersensl
live people, you know; their hono
is supreme. There is all the differ
ence »n the world between the Japa
nese t-nd the Chinese.”
Both the Los Angeles preacher and
hip wife made It very clear that the
Japanese could not be kicked around
• p had been the case with the China
man And as for a “yellow peril,"
they hooted the Idea.
Mr. Inazawa was naked what prog
ress the Japanese military compa
nies in California were making in
their daily drills and maneuvers.
Japs Have No Militia.
'if there is a company of Japs or
gahized and drilling in military ma
neuvers in the whole tBate of Cali
fornia, I do not know it And I
dm certain if there were any such.
- 1 would know. Theie has never been
a greater injustice done my people
than the circulated reports that they
were organized already to fight the
L'nlted States
“We look on the matter in this
light: The California anti-alien land
bill Is In direct violation of th<=* treaty
this country- lias with Japan, and
even if the State does make it a
' law, we believe the United States
Supreme Court will rule It unconsti
tutional I do not fear any war. But
most certainly Japan will fight if the
rights of her subjects are trampled.
“But then/’ continue^ Mr. Inaza
wa, “America and Japan are bound
by a greater tie than politics—Chris
tianity. Mr country, by leaps and
bounds, has adopted the Christian re-
'iglon and she has adopted American
c ivilization to such an extent that I
do-not believe they w ill ever clash.
"Obr differences will be settled on
•he broad principles of Christianity."

His One Hobby
Is Walking
"I like to walk sonic m\»elf." said
well-known business man yester
day, “but I know a man who lives
»ut in Kirkwood that has a mania
for it. It’s his fine hobby, and he
rides- or rather walks it to death;
lhat is. Judged from my angle, of
course Walking with him is a pleas
ure But if I did as much of it as
he does it certainly would not remain
a pleasure long.
"Winter and summer ha arises early
and before breakfast he does a long
walk. Just how long I have no means
of knowing, but I have it from some
>f his neighbors that he walks a good
many mileH before breaking his fast.
Then, every afternoon when lie gets
iff from work, he does another long
walk. I wouldn't be surprised if he
didn’t walk home every day. and, be
lieve me, that is some walk from At
lanta to Kirkwood, especially after a
hard day's work.
“This fellow has a desk job Dur
ing his working hours.he is tied down
to one office and he finds it necessary'
to walk a good deal to keep in good
physical condition One Sunday aft
ernoon I met him out near Peachtree
Creek and we fell into conversation.
I had seen him on the street often,
but did not know his name. We be
ame acquainted in this fashion and
got to talking about • the benefits of
walking. F saw at once that lie was
•rank on the subject, arid at part
ing he Asked If f wouldn’t join him
next Sunday in a littl«» stroll.
" Where shall we go?’ f asked
"‘t)h, say as far as Norcross and
back,’ said he.
Norcross is twenty miles from At
lanta Forty miles in one day did
not look good to me, so I pleaded a
previous engagement."

who has failed of renomination aSj
postmaster at Gainesville, Ga.. basil
addressed an open' letter to President i
Wilson. In thla letter she admits for |
the first lime thal she has lost her
tight and Is ready to quit. The letter
follows:
I have been granted a hearing
by the Committee on Postoltlcea
and Postroads In the Capitol
committee room at 10:30 o'clock,
May l«. I respectfully beg you to
be present on that occasion, which
will give you the opportunity to
hear the other side of the Gaines
ville. Ga., poatoffice rase.
You have broken away from
ancient usage and exemplified a
new freedom of conduct by ap
pearing before Congress to deliver
vour message and by making fre
quent visits to the President s
room at the Capitol for confer
ences on public measures. 1 trust
that vour high sense of public
duty will permit you to establish
a new and wholesome precedent
by attending a committee which
will acquaint-you with the merits
of a tight which the spoilsmen of
your party have made against one
of vour Southern countrywomen,
and the attacks on her rerord In
the service.
This request Fhoutd not he mis
understood. There Is no doubt in
rny mind and no desire lodged In
my heart to continue in the
Gainesville postofllce. I made the
light and lost. I am not reopen
ing that fight Your adrnlntstra
tton has written "Finis” over the
work to which I was briefly call
ed in the mountains of the State

am now considering work on The

which has been made me by a
veteran of the Union army, either
of which would give tne an in
come larger than 1 was receiving
In the Gainesville postofflee. and
n.l the same lime my sphere of
usefulness would be widened.
My desire for you to attend the
committee meeting is inspired by
faith in the man who wrote th*
“New Freedom;" faith in the
..courage and high-minded quali
ties which 1 believe will impel
him to make a statement to the
American people, regard ing a. die
placement by which many of bis
countrymen believe that America
has been discredited.

miK'h about walking, anyway. But
grandma, who lives just around the
corner, had only a nickel, which she
gladly surrendered, because she Is a
soft-hearted soul and lets her grand
children run over her. Just n* all good
grandmothers do.
£o "Bud" rode to town, viewed the
pictures and enjoyed himself hugely.
Then he thought of that long walk
home It didn’t look good from any
angle. Another happy thought struck
“Bud." Why not see if grandpa had a
nickel? So to grandpa’s office sped
the youngster
"T happened to be in town, grand
pa," said “Biffi,” “and I thought T’d
come In and pay you a visit. Mama
gave me h nickel and 1 went to the
picture show. Grandma gave me an
other nickel and that's the way 1 got
to town. I'm going to walk home.
You know. I like to walk. It is so
healthy. T don’t mind walking m
the least. Of course, it Is a long way
home, hut I don’t mind—r—”
There's no telling how long this
would have continued, but grandpa,
who Is wise for his years, smiled a
knowing smile and gave “Bud'' h
quarter That was the smallest colli
he had. And “Bud.’’ of course, didn't
have to walk home
“As a financier," said grandpa to
one of the clerks in the office. “J.
Plerpont Morgan had nothing on that
bov. 1 nave never yet known him to
fail to 'raise the wind’ when he want
