FIGHT LOST. SHIS
IS. II
California Minister Declares His
Country Will Not Stand for
Discrimination.
“Certainly Japan will fight if nec
essary to protect the rights of her
subjects, no matter where they are.
{ And she will not stand for unfair
discrimination.”
So said the Rev. Joseph K. Inaza
wa, pastor of the Japanese Presby-
4 terian Church of Los Angeles, a cone
* missioner to the General Assembly
* of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A.,
in session here.
“But” hastily added the Rev. In-
* azawa. ”1 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
*«lhal might so easily be settled by
**agreement or arbitration.
The Rev. Mr. Inazawa, with his
l wife, a native «'aliforhtan, will sail
in a few weeks for Japan for a va
cation of several months. He has not
* seen his a the land In a quarter of
a century, having cast Ids lot on
the west coast of Ajiiertca exactly 25
years ago.
‘it's 26 on this side of the Pacific
and 25 on the other," he expressed
it Friday morning in conversation
fc \vith a Georgian reporter. Five years
i of his life In America were spent in
the San Francisco Theological Scir>-
* inarv. Twenty years he has spent
Vi in evangelistic work among the Jaj.
ia8»»e*t? of hit State, working in many
P»of the principal titles 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 up their
residence in California. His church
has granted him leave of absence to
jig visit the home land.
Wife Raps Alien Bill.
'■•nt Mrs. Inazawa, w ho is a woman
S* very strong conviction, thoroughly
sympathetic in all her husband’s ac
tivities, was even more pronounce
in her view that the Japanese were
■ being wrongly treated In the matter
of the anti-alien land bill.
% Mrs. Inazawa said:
r It just so happens that the Leg
Islatui o this year is strongly in fa
*«* \or of that kind of attitude. But you
** would be surprised to know the
strength of the sentiment against
Vr Governor Johnson and his follow ers
jfc the advocates of the bill.
“it fs not so much the actual text
of th-* law." she continued, “as It
i* the- spirit that is behind it. There
is an indisputable feeling that Japan
r> Is being unfairly treated, and you can
* rest assured that Japan will not al
: Iqw her subjects to be disc riminated
against. But our hope lies In the
fact that there' is such a strong feel
ing against the bill.
** "The Japanese are a hyersensl
tive people, you know ; their hono
is supreme. There is all the differ
ence tn the world between the Japs
f, ne.se and the Chinese.”
Both the Los Angeles preacher and
bis wife made it very clear that the
Japanese could not be kicked around
as had been the case with the China
man. And as for a "yellow peril,”
> they hooted the idea.
Mr, Inazawa was asked what prog
loss the Japanese military conipa
*,nies In California were making In
their daily drills and maneuvers.
Japs Have No Militia.
“If there Is a company of Japs or
ganized and drilling in military ma
neuvers In the whole tSale of Cali
fornia. I do not know it. And I
am certain if there were any such,
m I would know. There has never been
' a greater injustice done my people
thaa the circulated reports that they
\xere organized already to fight the
l otted States
"We look on the matter in this
I flight: The California anti-alien land
bill is in direct violation of the treaty
this country has with Japan, and
* * even if the State docs make it a
law, we believe the United States
. Supreme Court will rule it unconsti
tutional. 1 do not fear any war. But
most certainly Japan will fight if the
* f. rights of her subjects are trampled.
"But then,” continued Mr. Inaza
wa, "America and Japan are bound
by a greuter tie than politics—Chris
tianity. My country, by leaps and
bounds, has adopted the Christian re-
.**9* ligion and she has adopted American
$5civilization to such an extent that 1
ofcdp not believe they will ever clash.
** “Our differences will be settled on
p?* the broad principles of Christianity.”

His One Hobby
Is Walking.
*1 like to walk some myself.” said
well-known business man yester
day. "but I know a man who llvea
ut in Kirkwood that has a mania
for it. lt'» his one hobby, and he
rides or rather walks—*ll to death;
that is. judged from my angle, of
our.se.
ure. But if I did an much of it as
he does it certainly would not remain
pleasure long.
"Winter and summer he arises early
nd before breakfast he does a long
walk, juat how long 1 have no means
of knowing, but I have it from some
f his neighbors that he walks a good
many miles before breaking his fast.
Then, every afternoon when he gets
off from work, he does another long
walk. I wouldn't be surprised if he
didn't walk home ev«*ry 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
('reek and we fell into conversation.
I had seen him on the street often,
but did not know his name. We be
came acquainted in this fashion and
got to talking about the benefits of
walking. I saw at once that he was
crank on the subject, and at part
ing he asked If I wouldn't loin him
next Sunday in a little stroll
" Where shall we go?' I asked
" ‘Oh, say as far as Norrross and
back,’ said he.
‘Norrross Is twenty miles from At
lanta. Forty miles in one day did
not look good to me, so I pleaded a
previous engagement.”

Financing a Trip
To Town and Back.
"Bud” is the nickname of a small
boy who lives In West End He Is
passionately foijd of the "movies" and
baseball.
He learned yesterday that motion J
pictures of the school day exercises i
at Ponce DeLeon would'lie displayed
at one of the picture shows down- j
town. “Bud” had taken part In these
same exercises and he wanted to see,
how they looked on a. screen.
Ills finances, however, were not in j
a flourishing condition, so he went j
to his mother to wheedle her out of j
carfare and the price of a ticket. |
Mother had only five cents, but she j
surrendered It on "Bud's” explana- I
tion that he didn't mind walking to
town and back again.
With the nickel in his pocket he
fared forth. A happy thought struck j
him Why not see if grandma had a *
dime? I: was hot and he didn't care I
much about walking, anyway. But
grandma, who lives Ju»t around the
corner, had only a nickel, which ®he
gladly surrendered, because she Is a
soft-hearted soul and lets her grand
children run over her, Just as all good
grandmothers do.
So "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 ate if grandpa had a
nickel? So to grandpa's office sped
the youngster.
“1 happened to be in town, grand
pa.” said “Bud,” "and I thought I’d
come in and pay you a visit. Mama
gave me a nickel and 1 went to the
picture show. Grandma gave me kn
ot her nickel and that’s the way I got
to town. I'm going to walk home.
You know. I like to walk. It is so
healthy. 1 don't mind walking In
the least. Of course, it Is a long way
home, but I don't mind "
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” a
quarter. That was the smallest coin
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.
Pierpont Morgan had nothing on that
boy I nave never yet known him to
fail to ‘raise the wind’ when he want
ed it.”

fOiOWS.
I have been granted a hearing
by the Committee on Postofficea
ami Postroads in* the Capitol
committee* room at 10:30 o’clock,
May 16. 1 respectfully beg you to
be present on that occasion, which
* will give you the. opportunity to
heat' the other side of the Gaines
ville. Ga., postotfice case.
You have broken away from
ancient usage and exemplified a
new freedom of conduct by ap
pearing before Congress to deliver
your message and by making fre
quent visits to the President s
room at the Capitol for confer
ences on public measure''. I trust,
that your 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 fight which the spoilsmen <>r
your party have made against one
of your Southern countrywomen. #
and the attacks on her record in
the service.
This request should not be mis
understood. There is no doubt in
my mind and no desire lodged in
my* heart to continue in the
Gainesville poatofiice. I made the
fight and lost. I am not reopen
ing that fight. Your administra
tion has written "Finis” over the
Work to which I was briefly Tail
ed In the mountains of the State
on whose bosom I was cradled. 1
am now considering work on The
New York Press and an offer
which has been made me by a .
veteran of the Union army, either
of which would give me an in
come larger than I was receiving
In ttie Gainesville postofflee. and
at the same tirm* 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 the
“New Freedom;” faith In the
courage and high-minded quali
ties which l believe will impel
him to make a statement to the
American people regarding a dis
placement by which many of his
countrymen believe that America
has been discredited.

It is one thing to make soda
crackers that are occasionally
good.
It is quite another thing to
make them so that they are
always better than all other
soda crackers, always of un
varying goodness.
The name “U nee da ’’—stamped on
every biscuit—means that if a million
packages of Uneeda Biscuit were
placed before you, you could choose
any one of them, confident that every
soda cracker in that package would
be as good as the best Uneeda Biscuit
ever baked. Five cents.
