THOUSANDS OF EMPLOYEES TO BE AFFECTED BY . SUCH PLANS TOKYO, Aug. 27— The fate of 5,000 employees of Japan’s ten motion picture companies and also that of 20,000 workers of 2,466 movie houses including usherettes is believed in balance of the gov- ernment’s plan for a drastic con- solidation of motion picture indus- try. Well-informed circles said that the former is likely to be reduced to a thousand or fifteen hundred with salaries of big stars substan- tially cut because their appearan- ces will be limited by a projected decree limiting the production to four films per month. It is recalled that the government announced a new structure for films last week to cope with increasing shortage of raw film. GOOD MANNERS AND POLITENESS In a recent article which appeared in a Tokyo newspaper, the Niseis now residing in Japan were advised to return home to America unless they observe the Japanese ways of life and behave themselves. The Japanese are excedingly par- ticular concerning manners. They often complain of the Ni- seis for lack of courtesy or manners. Perhaps, the Niseis ap- pear to them imprudent because they are boisterous and out- spoken. The Japanese are reserved and modest. There are, however, instances where Japanese and Am- erican manners differ and the Niseis are placed under an em- barrassing situation. For instance, when a Japanese meet or part from their friends they greet or bid farewell with a polite bow; whereas, the Americans shake hands. It does make no difference, as far as courtesy is concerned, whether you bow or shake hands, but the Niseis would hesitate as to whether he should undertake a bow or a hand shake. There is an old saying, “When in Rome do as the Romans.” But in the instant case the Niseis must do the bowing as Japanese, although they are in America, for the Japanese would prefer a bow to a hand shake unless they are well Americanized. Whenever there is a doubt as to whether a person is Chinese or Japanese, or Issei or Nisei, it is advisable for the Niseis to make a deep polite bow and speak in Japanese. If the other party cannot speak English, he-would talk with you in his own language, but if the other party recognizes you he would speak in English. This will avoid rudeness and show polite- ness to certain extent. Again, a certain Japanese author wrote in his book that, when he was traveling in America on train, a certain Japa- nese boy was in the same Pullman Car which he occupied; that they saw each other but the boy did not show any cour- tesy whatsoever; and later he found out that this boy came from Hawaii. He bluntly concluded that the Japanese raised in Hawaii are ill-mannered. Evidently, the boy couldn’t speak Japanese or if he could have spoken, his language was not good, and the Japanese author couldn’t speak English. The Japanese author gives us an impression that the boy should have shown some sign of courtesies, at least, by introducing himself or by saying “Hello” or by making a bow. It seems, however, the boy had no obligation to show courtesy be- cause they were altogether strangers to each other. It was noit necessary for the boy to introduce himself any more than the Japanese author, for the latter could have intro- duced himself if he so desired. The fact that they saw each other in the Pullman car would make no difference. It was incumbent on both parties to approach half way. But the point is this. The Japanese notion of politeness is that the younger person must first introduce himself to the elder, or the inferior person should observe courtesy toward the su- perior. In democratic America, however, there is no such distinction. As far as the manner is concerned, there is no inferior-or superior. Equality should be the rule. In fact, most of the times, the superior stretches out his arm first to re- ceive the inferior. Therein lies the difference. We often hear a Nisei boy or girl say, “I cannot get a- long with old folks.” The Niseis try to keep away from the elders because they are not proficient in Japanese language, they are asked to use it. It is said that nothing is ever lost through politeness. It is, therefore, advisable to be polite whenever occasion de- mands. We should develop a spirit of courtesy in our communi- ty as the Samurais developed a code of honour. We should observe courtesy toward the superiors and even between close friends. Good manners for the girls and politeness for the boys should be taught at home. Whenever they speak bad English or Japanese they should be corrected immediately by the parents. Let the children control their temper, or koraeru. Too much of heated arguments and threatening languages are detrimental to social order. “Naranu kannin suruga kannin,” or to forgive that which cannot be forgiven, is forgiveness. . Battleship, Duke of York, to be Launched LONDON, Aug, 27— I t was learned that the British battleship, Duke of York, isj now ready to take her place alongside the King George and the Prince of V/ales. It was understood that the ship- yard men worked night and day to complete the arming of the York, which is the third of five King George class of warships laid down in 1937. KONOYE’S SON RETURNS FROM LIFE AT C A if FDR Confers W i t h Chinese Ambassador Dr. Hu Shih Previous to Making ' Above Announcement WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 President Roosevelt announ- ced at the press conference that the U. S. government is pre- , paring dispatch of a military mission to Chungking within i the next few weeks in order to assist in carrying out the I Lease-Lend act and stated that the mission is being organ- : ized and will operate under the direction of the Secretary of ' War and will be headed by Brigadier-General John Magruler I to be accompanied by an adequate staff of thoroughly quali- fied officers. Mission’s Functions Roosevelt announced the mis^ sion’s functions in five fold. First- ly, survey of military situation Ik China and Sino government aids for materials; secondly, formula- tion of recommendations regarding, types and quantities of items need- ed; thirdly, assistance hi procui’e- ment of such materials in the U .S. and their delivery to Chinav fourthly, instruction in use and maintainance of such articles; fif- thly, “advice and suggestions of appropriate character toward ma- king the lend-le^e assistance to China as effective as possible in the interests of the United States and China and world effort in the resistance of movements of. conquest by force.” Announcement Follow'S Meet , President Roosevelt’s announce- ment was made following h.ls con-- ference with the Chinese Ambassa- dor Dr. Hu Shih. According to Dr. Hu Shih, the conference was a success and tou- ched largely Chinese defense needs.. He said. “The President assured me China’s needs were not left out during his historic conference with Winston Churchill.” FDR Fails to Comment The President, on the other hand, failed to comment on wheth- er the mission would include acti- vities of a strategic nature such as advising Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek on military matters. This mission is the second mili- tary group to attend conferences^ the first being the group to at- tend the projected tri-power con- ferences in Moscow.

(UP) — In the new $2,000,000 Western Re- gional Research Laboratory, ap- proximately 50 technicians are conducting experiments from whi- ch it is hoped a new method for producing plastics and artificial fiber from agricultural surplus products will be developed. The scientists even expect to produce waterproof glue and con- centrated food from such products as chicken feathers, alfalfa, wheat and potatoes. R. H, Nagel, technical assistant, said medicine will come in for its share of attention with anticipated experiments on chicken heads for glandular extracts. Exemplary of the program are the alfalfa experiments. Alfalfa, Nagel said, is made up of two ma- jor components—pigments and proteins. Pigments will be studied in an effort to divert them to use as pharmaceuticals and as soap-color- ing. Protein studies will be carried on to try to isolate protein, native or altered, and to determine its composition. The experiments are being con- ducted in 30 newly equipped rooms. Eventually, when all the 96 rooms are prepared, it is expected several hundred civil service workers will be stationed at the laboratory. Surplus products have been ga- thered in several states and are being held in cold storage, await- ing shipment to the plant as they are needed. r LEGAL NOTICE 1 0 • FOURTH CIRCUIT COURT PROBATE NO. 1628 ESTATE OF GENSUKE KAYA, DECEASED.

TOKYO DAILY BRANDS AC- TION BRITISH TYPE OF IMPERIALISM TOKYO, Aug. 27 — The Asahi editorially attacked British inva- sion of Iran as “an open and pub- lic infringement of neutrality of smaller and weaker country and a bad manifestation of imperialism.” The Asahi said that the fact that Iran has been endeavoring strenu- ously to preserve the neutrality, continued plots of British in Iran, who outnumbers the Germans, make reasons advanced in the jus- tification of the invasion as “just excuses.” ' British Type Imperialism The paper pointed out the con- tradiction between Roosevelt and Churchill’s expressions of desire for peace and invasion of Iran. “Such thick-skinned brazenness can only be described as another manifestation of British type of imperialism,” the paper asserted, adding that Iran in the past had been the fighting ground between the Soviet and British. It said that Iran had managed to survive in the past due to the balance of the two nations’ power but now since they’ve joined forces the fate of Iran seems sealed. Reasons for Invasion The paper advanced as principle reasons of the Soviet-British in- vasion, firstly, the collaboration between the two armies, secondly, the creation of supply route to the Soviet, thirdly, the desire to get oil, fourthly, the establishment of advance bases for protection of India on Britain’s side and the pro- tection of Caucasus on Soviet’s side. The Asahi suggested the fourth strengthens the possibility of the two nations’ remaining in Iran In- definitely “smothering its indepen- dence” but in concluding, the A- sahi declared that the move, on the other hand, instead of slowing upGerman advance into Russia, as hoped, will only stimulate Germa- ny to speed up its drive.
