PARIS. April2.—No Asiatic na
lion could fee happy in a League of
Nations m which sharp radical
^discrimination is maintained, Bar-
ton Makin*. head of the Japanese
delegation to the peace conference
Ij^tnid in a statement to the Associ-
ated Press today on the position of
IgJapan.
■'We are not ton proud to fight,"
nthe baron said, "but we are too
n.proud to ceept a place of pdmit-
[n'ted inferiority in dealing with one
more associate nations. We
E,want n&thing but simple justice."
Japan is glad to join a League
[jof Nations to maintain peace and
.jorder, the baron added.
"Japan does not wish," he con-
tinued, "to force her laborers as
[immigrants on any associate coun-
.tries and recognizes that this

"Japan feels that it is entitled
to a frank and open admission by
ithe allies that the principle of
■equity and justice is a funda i
pal tenet of the League of Nations,

Philadelphia Public Ledger:
A Philadelphia!! brings
story from Atlanta:
When Colonel Roosevelt visited
that city for the last time he at-
tended one of the negro churches,
to the great satisfaction of its
constituency.
A trustee presented him to the
congregation in a speech that
tickled the colonel hugely.
"We have with us this evening,
a man who is famous from the
sunrise to the sunset an' to the
horizon above.
"As representative citizens of
Atlanta we welcome our distin-
guished white brother.
"Here in Atlanta the white
folks and the black folks get along
in peace and harmony and never
have trouble.
"It's this way. The white folks
lives in front on Peachtree Street
and the black people live on the
back lots on the same street.

I PARIS, April 2.—French con ,
servative organs are furious at ]
seeing Germany pay American and
British food merchants in cash be-
fore paying France at least an in-
stallment of the damages she has
wrought in the war. Says Jac-
ques Bainville in the royalist news-
paper Action Francaise: •
"By playing the card of Bol-
shevism, Germany has succeeded
in getting food. Her resources in
gold and foreign credits for eat-
ables—'that much we are ahead of
the enemy, we can hear Schiede-
mann and Rantauz say. The first
German indemnity thus vanishes
into the pockets of English and
American food dealers. German
politics and allied commercialism
meet reciprocal satisfaction. After
a few more deals of this sort what
will remain for us?"
The same note is sounded by the
Clerical Echo de Paris, which re-
grets that the allies allowed the
Germans to negotiate for food in-
stead of telling them what they
must give and what they could
have.

is to her that we all go in seasons
of sorrow and sickness' for help
comfort; one soothing touch of her
kindly hands work wonders upon
the feverish child; a few words
dropped from her lips in the ear
of a sorrow stricken sister will do
much to raise the load of grief
that is bowing its victim down to
the dust in anguish. The hus-
band comes home worn out with
the pressure of business and feel-
ing irritable with the world in gen-
eral. but when he enters the cozy
sitting room, and sees the blaze
of fire, and meets his wife's smil-

an extraordinary jump in price
toady amounting in some cases to
6 cents a bushel. Official an-
nouncement that
was so acute that wheat and flour
exports from the United States
to neutral countries had been
stopped, was chiefly responsible.
Victory for the liquor interests in
the Chicago municipal election
was also an important factor. The
steepest advance was corn for
September delivery, a rise to
$1.38 1-2 as against $1.32 1-2 at
the finish on Monday.
Traders took the view that corn
products for export would be
much more in demand in place of
wheat and flour. It was a popu-
lar opinion also that rye and bar-
ley would be largely bought on the
chance that the result of the Chi-
cago election would be interpret-
ed as a referenruni on prohibition
and that with a peace treaty sign-
ed before July 1, prohibition
would not be permitted to take ef-
fect.
The official announcement was
made in New York last night by
Julius Barnes, head of the grain
division of the food administration
according to reports received
here, Mr. Barnes was quoted as
saying:
"We have advised the neutral
governments that America will be
unable to furnish any more wheat
or wheatflour to them; that they
are free to buy other grains in
our markets."
Fresh advances occurred later j
and the May delivery soared to j
