Says Rivalry With Japan 1 Commer cial Huron Kagora, Japanese ambassador, in an address at the University of Michigan, last Friday, discussed the so called commercial invasion of America by Japan, declaring it impossible to avoid commercial rivalry, which ho said, is simply an outcome of the de velopment of the International relations. "The only way to meet such a situation is, as it seems to mo, to conduct such rivalry in a friendly and right spirit," he said. "While our trade has been sporadi cally increasing," said Ambassador Tnkahlra, "I hoar sometime rather harsh complaint against Japan for starting cotton mill and cigarette maaH ufacturing establishments and no longer importing piece goods of manufactured tobacco which w need to buy from this country, but it must be born in mind tbtt in making cotton goods and cigarette in our own establishments, we are buying , raw cotton and tobacco leave from the United States. I also hear some heart-reading reports to the effect that since Japanese merchant be came energetic, certain American house have been toeing their business in the Fat Eaatera trade. Painful as I that report; I cannot help conceding that In this age of rapid communication, It Is Impossible to avoid commercial rivalry which i simply aa outcome of th de velopment of International relations."

Holland Forbes, the winner of the recent national ballon race and acting president of the Aero club of America, turned the medals over to the president on behalf of the Aero club. Bay Jap an not Keeping Faith. In speech in Buffalo, N. Y., last Friday, Hon. W. A. Gates, secretary of the Board of Charities for San Fran cisco declared that tbe yellow peril was more of a menace today than at any time in the past. "It is also gravely doubted," declared Mr. Gates, "If Japan is faithfully keeping the 'gentleman's agreement ' entered into with tbe United States regarding tbe restriction of the immigration of the coolie class, A similar agreement en terel into with Great Britain with re gard to British Columbia has been de liberately violated. Japan recognises no coolie "class. Besides hls tplght hundred Japanese and 600 Chines Hie gslly entered the country over the bor der of Mexico and Canada in the last year and a half."
