THE AT LAM ! A UKUKGIAN AND NEWS, ip FI RIGHTSJAP 0 I fin California Minister Declares His Country Will Not Stand for Discrimination, "Certainly Japan will tight if nec essary to protect the rights of her Objects. no matter where ihe> are. \nd she will not stand for unfair discrimination." So said the Rev Joseph K. lnsza- wa. pastor of the Japanese Presby terian Church of Los Angeles, a com missioner to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A . in session here. “But” hastily added the Rev. Tn- azawa, "I do not believe there will ever be the necessity for appeal to arms. This greht 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 he settled by agreement or arbitration. The Rev. Mr. lnazawa, with his wife, a native Californian, will sail in a few weeks for Japan for a va- ration of several months. Hr has not seen his ative land In a quarter of a century, having cast his lot on the west coast of America exactly 25 years ago. ‘‘It’s 25 on this side of the Pacific and 25 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. Tnazawa, commending his work and bespeaking the kindly considera tion of Christiana 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 iti California. His church lias granted him leave of absence t visit the home land. Wife Raps Alien Bill. Mrs. lnazawa, who is a woman c Aery strong conviction, thoroughly sympathetic in all her husband’s a tlvltles, was even more pronounc< in her view thakthe Japanese were being wrongly treated In the matter of the anti-alien land bill. Mrs. lnazawa said: It Just so happens that the Leg islature this year is strongly In fa vor of that kind of attitude. But you AAould l>e surprised to know the strength of the sentiment against Governor Johnson and his followers, the- advocates of the bill. “It is not so much the actual text of the law,” she continued, "ns it is the spirit that is behind it. There is an indisputable feeling that Japat is being unfairly treated, anil you can rest assured that Japan will not al - low her subjects to be discriminated •igainst. But our hope lies in the fact that there Is such a strong feel ing against the bill. “The Japanese are a hyersensi- tive people, you know; their honor Is supreme. There is nil the differ nice in the world between the Japa nese and the Chinese.” * Both the Los Angelos preacher and I,is wife made it very clear that th Japanese could not he kicked around as had been the case with the China man Aiul ns for a "yellow peril, they hooted the Idea. Mr. lnazawa was asked what prog n-Bs the Japanese military com pa uies in California were making in their daily drills and maneuvers. Japs Hove No Militia. “If there is a company of Japs or ganized and drilling in military nia neuvers In the whole tSate of Cali fornia, 1 do not know 1t And I am certain if there were any such 1 would know. There has never beet a greater Injustice done my peopl than the circulated reports that the were organized already to tight th United States "We look on the matter in this light The California anti-alien land bill is in direct Violation of the treat this country has with Japan, and even if the State does make it la>v, Ave believe the United States Supreme Court will rule It unconstl tutional I do not fear any war. But most certainly Japan will fight if the ’fghts of her subjects are trampled “But then,'' continued Mr. Inaza ua. "America and Japan are bound by a greater tie than politics—Chris tianity. My country, by leaps and bounds, has adopted the Christian re Ugion and she has adopted America < ivjlization to such an extent that I do not believe they will ever clash. “Our differences will be settled or ‘he broad principles of Christianity Race Riots Follow Attack in Oklahoma His One Hobby Is Walking. I like to walk some myself." said a well-known business man yester day. “but I know a man who lives in Kirkwood that has a mania for it. It’s his one hobby, and he rides—--or rather walks it to death; hat is. Judged from my angle, of urse. Walking with him is a pleas- re. But if I did as much of it as does it certainly would not remain pleasure long. “Winter and summer he arises early nd before breakfast he does a long alk. just how long I have no means f knowing, hut 1 have tt from some f his neighbors that he walks a good many miles before breaking his fast, hen. every afternoon when he gets ff from work, he does another long alk.

We be- ame acquainted in this fashion and t to talking about the benefits of alking. 1 saw at once that he was rank on the subject, and at pari ng be asked if 1 wouldn’t join him next Sunday In a little stroll. " ‘Where shall we go?’ I asked. “ '(>h, say as far as Norcross and irk.’ said he. "Norcross is twenty miles from At- nta.

My desire for you to attend the committee meeting is inspired by faith iri the man who wrote the "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 regarding a dis placement by which many of his countrymen believe that America has been discredited. t t one of the picture show's down town.
