FACE TEM THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1929 INDIAN POET ON US RACULINSULT Tagore Says Cancellation of : Tour to "Incivility" : Displayed DENIES ENMITY Humiliated by Attitude of Official People on Pacific Coast Tokio, June 14.--Rabindranath Tagore, who is lecturing here, said that he cancelled his tour of Unit- ed States universities because he was oppressed by the air of suspl- cion and incivility toward all Asi- atics on the part of officials and certain classes in the western part of the country. .It was not because of the incivility which was shown him personally by immigration in- spectors in Seattle, nor has he any grievance against the people of the pation, whose spirit he cannot be- lieve to be represented by their laws and regulations. He harbors no bitterness against the United States people; in fact, he has great admiration for many of their characteristics and their jdeals, but he could not remain 1m a country in which Asiatics were barely tolerated, he said. When a Los Angeles reporter emphasized the fact that "Tagore wore blue socks he felt completely out of touch with a certain type of wus- tern mind. Attracted to Canadians "I had anticipated lecturing at United States universities this year," he said, 'as I had done sev- eral times before. It was delight- ful in Canada. After I had fulfill- ed my engagements there, the Ca- nadians asked me to remain longer and to visit the eastern part of the country. "They are a young people in a young country, not yet sophisticat- ed. They are very receptive and sensitive to the appeal of higher things. I was deeply attracted to them and desired to know them better, to meet more of them. But it would have been unjust; I had promised many people in the Unit- ed States to come there. "lI came to the United States. The immigration officials asked me to come into the office to present my documents. I entered the office and waited a half-hour. I could hear the official talking and laugh- ing with a lady in the next room. He came to the dor, saw me wait- ing and saw another gentleman. He talked to him for some time. Humiliated by Questions "Then he beckoned me into his PLAYING! a NEW MARTIN NOW MYSTERY DRAMA THE Charlatan FEATURE VAUDEVILLE Starting New Serial The "FINAL RECKONING" Lupo Lane COMEDY Before proceeding to the board of trade luncheon the guests of honor signed the first page of the register of the Royal York hotel, Toronto, on June 11, Layout shows, left, His Excellency Lord Willingdon, who was the first to sign, and, right, Sir William Mulock affixing his signature to the register. office, without a word, a nod, or any sort of civility. He pointed to a chair and began to question me. Did I know the restrictions of time within which I could remain in the eountry? How long did I expect to remain? Was I prepared to deposit the required amount as guarantee that I would leave? Did I know the penalties for staying longer? "His insulting questions and at- titude were deeply humiliating. I was not used to such treatment; I had been universally and most cor- dially welcomed in Europe and had been in the United States before. Never 'had I had such an experi- ence. Perhaps it is due to new regulations. Certainly it was an at- titude I had never encountered. I hesitated about entering the coua- try at all, but I had my tickets, had taken leave of my friends, and had no desire to cause a row. Suffered As Asiatic "I came into the country, but my mind was not at ease. I went to Los Angeles, stayed there and lectured. But all the time I was impressed by the spirit in the air. The people seemed cultivating an attitude of suspicion and incivility toward Asiatics. I did not at all like it. I could not stay on suffer- ance, suffer indignities for being an Asiatic. It was not a personal grievance, but as a representative of all Asiatic peoples I could not remain under the shadow of such an insult. I took passage without delay. "I have many friends in Amer- ica, genuine idealists for whom I have the higehst regard. I have read books by their great men which have attracted my heart. I hope they have a great future in carrying on the mission of civiliza- tion as it has begun in the West. but also respect for my own peo- I have real respect for the people, ple, 'colored' people. If they must meet such treatment in that coun- try it is best for any self-respect- ing Asiatic not to thrust himself upon its hospitality. MAKING REPAIRS 0 HAYDON MILL R.

The manufacture and export of rikishas, once a thriving industry in Japan, is rapidly falling off, due to the decrease in domestic de- mand and the rising competition of manufactures of other counires. The real cause of the extinction of the rikishka, as in the case of the horse-drawn vehicles, is the motor car. It is fast disappearing from the streets here, although a strong demand still continues in China, the South Sea Islands, Bri- tish India and even in parts of Af- rica, In 1912 as many as 6,000 ri- kishas were exported from Japan. Today the number is less than halt and it is dwindling. 'There were 26,000 licensed rikishas and 96 automobiles in Tokyo, in 1901. To- day there are 8,700 rikishas and 15,000 automobiles. What was formerly the largest rikisha fac- tory in the world, located on the Ginza in Tokyo, has been replaced by a baby carriage shop. This plant was founded by Daisuke Aki- ba, who is considered the inventor of the rikisha. FUTURE DEMANDS NEW YORK CITY BOTHERING SCIENCE Want 38 Airports Covering Area of 5,528 Square Miles New York, June 14.--The new Yorker of the future, if he survives the present, is to have all the lv- ing advantages that have hitherto been distributed among the birds, beasts, worms and even fishes. For he is to divide his time between air, earth, underground and under- seas. During the next 29 years, if Manhattan multiplies at its present rate, the population will be doubl- ed and tripled, and how it will live or move--already has become something to worry about. Howeverf according to latest re- ports, instead of getting worse, which it cannot, congestion is go- ing to be reduced. With the aid of architects, scientists, city plan- ners who have spent sleepless nights over the situation, and a billion dollars in cash, it is prom- ised that the next generation actu- ally will have more room than the present one. Just Wait Till 1965 New York is visioned as reach- ing its perfection about 1965--a city soaring above its present limi- tations and digging more deeply than ever into its rocky ribs--a network of tunnels, bridges and highways, dotted with airports-- this according to the Regional Plan which is the result of seven years of work on the part of 160 engin- eers and economists and $1,000,- 1928 Chev.

The plan is in the hands of new sponsors, with George McAneny, former president of the Borough of Manhattan, at its head, and the Russell Sage Foundation as back- ers, The plan considers Manhattan and fits immediate vicinity as in- cluding 22 counties and compris- ing 5,628 square miles and accom- modating a population of 20,000,- 00. t Plan Huge R. R. Loop As a means of commutation re- lief and increased traffic facilities, it plans to connect New York, Long Island and Jersey by means of sev- en great systems. These lines would completely circle the city, above and under- ground, and the congestion into New Jersey and Long Island would be greatly reduced. From resi- dential towns in New York state, Cnnecticut and New Jersey, a sys- tem of airways into Manhattan is proposed. Looking forward to air transpor- tation as increasingly important, the committee advised the imme- diate purchase of 16 new airports in addition to the 22 new existing. New bridges, tunnels, and double levels are a part of the plan. Picture of the Future What the city {itself may. look like in 1950 or 2,000 was shown by plans at the recent Exposition of Architecture and Allied Arts in New York. According to this scheme, the city becomes a giant layer cake, with layers above and below the earth, all complete and function- ing in their several ways, with all but pedestrian and air traffic un- derground. Into the lowest level of subter- ranean life would be the subway system, connected to upper levels by spiral escalators, and the freight tubes for fast distribution. Immediately above this is plan- ned the level for fast motors, each lane being devoted to one-way traf- fic, with garages on this level so that people in apartments never would need to remove their cars from that level while in the down- town portions of the city. Above this level, but still under- ground, heavier, slower motor traf- fic would move, with adjacent ga- advantage of placing this traffic above the fast is that mer- chandise and freight would not have to beelevated so far to the stores. Pedestrians Not Forgotten By this time we have come up to the surface for air and have a whole level devoted to pedestri- ans, who by this time are so plen- tiful that they will fill the entire streets. Thus the stores, restau- rans and hotels naturally will seek this level. Going up, on the layer above, would be business offices, and above them, serene and high, the schools. art institutions and clubs. 'By this time we are pretty high up and have only a few more stor- fes to go to reach the roofs and set-back levels to be devoted to living quarters and playgrounds, aerial parks appropriately decorat- ed with shrubbery, and on fairly easy terms with the moon and stars. On hot summer nights these living quarters would afford the comfort that is lacking near Mother Earth herself, where the radiation of heat is so unbearable. Under this scheme, the tops of buildings would be of uniform height over a considerable area, furnishing convenient landin places for airplanes.
