This committee, consisting of about ifty scholars, politicians, journalists and basinessesmen, including some "members of the House of Peers, met as the Nippon Club recently and discussed the final revision of the manifesto drawn up, at previous meetings, which is published below. A discussion of methods whereby the consensus of popular opinion regard ing the Paciño Conference and Japan's share in it can be ascertained for the benefit of the Japanese delegates was in-

Among the principal sponkers were Mr. Shoda, former Minister of Fiannce; Dr. Soyeda, Dr. Terao, Mr. Kariyana, member of the House of Peers; Baron Karoda, Mr. Kato, Minister Plenipoten- tiary at Large, and Mr. K. Nishihara.

The authorized English translation of the manifesto, which is to be very widely circalated throughout Japan and made the basis of a nationwide campaign, is

A MANIFESTU.

1 has ever been Japan's national policy to uphold the principle of in- suring the peace-of the Orient, thereby aiming to contribute to the enlight ment of the world, and to further the welfare of humanity. We, therefore. ALMA heart and soil with President Harding's proposal for the limitation of Armaments by mutual agreement of

nations..

."

The principal causes of international disputes are attributable in most cases to aggressive ambitions. We maintain that all nations should in the coming Conference abide in the sense of justice and humanity and rectify any wrong, if such has ever been practiced in the past by any nation.

Japan has shared her policies accordance with the fundamental spirit of insuring the reach of the Far East. attainable” through the promotion of the welfare of the Chinese people and through the stabilization of ennditions in Siberia by restoration of its peace "and order..

, 73 !

This policy must be observed to pro- tect our own integrity and independ ence. Our honest desire is to encour age the healthy development of our neighbouring nations.

The Open Door" and Equal Opportunity are the keys, to the peace of the world, as well as the furtherance of the welfare of mankind. These great principles, we maintain, should apply to, and be realized in, not alone the Pacific lands but in all parts off the earth..

The realization of the principle of solidarity and the upholding of inter- national good faith and truthfulness are the only means of insuring peace and promoting the happiness of the human race. The League of Nations at the present stage has not attained its ideal, but, considering the indescrib able horror of the great European War, we are constrained to believe to be a glorious movement to establish the principle of mutual aid in the existence of mankind. We cannot but hope for its healthy growth for the sake of the world's peace.

In the bupe that the Washington Conference will attain the success it aims at and that we may enter that Conference with the consensus of national opinion in Japan back of our delegates, we deem it timely to give expression to our opinion regarding the principal subjects of the Conference as follows:-

Old plants of Violet und Calla (Arum Lily) should be repotted.

Watering of all except terrestial Orchids should now be much lessoned, a light watering or ayringing once a week being quite sufficient.

Cuttings of all varieties of Coleus should be made to produce a stock of young plants for next spring.

Heaps of leafsoil and garden rubbish, if well-rotted, should now be sifted and " the fine soil, after being well dried, should be used for mixing with soil for pot plaats.

Ashes from rubbish fires and coarse vegetable refuse should be dug into shrubberies.

Flowering shrubs, particularly those on sloping banks, should have the oil about them well broken up, and a "layer of manure 2 inches deep laid over the broken soil. This will have the effect of keeping the roots moist "throughout the dry season.

Ground not required for immediate use should be dug to a depth of 3 feet and the top soil should not be raked to, the fineness of sand but allowed to remain in large lumps.

A sharp lookout should be kept for all kinds of caterpillars and boring insects, which do great damage to young trees and shrubs at this season. The best method of dealing with these pests is. by spraying with insecticide. Ready- nade" insecticides and sprays, with direc- tions for ase, may now be purchased locally..
