Puetess Believes In Fairies, Many readers of Punch will be glad to know that the poems of Rose Fyleman, many of which have ap- peared in the famous Englich humor- ous weekly, can now be bad in a slim volume eatitled “The Fairy Green.” Of courses, Rose Fyleman is not one of the grsat poets, but she seems to believe =3s implicitly in the existence of fairies as Maurice Hew- litt.did shortly before the war when he set science at uefiance by declar- ing that he had s-“n the little men. Rose Fyleman writes only about fairies and children, and there is a charming simplicity about her descrip- tions of both.

He does not get roused about the matter, or allow -oioige re be betrayed into saying harsh things about his neighbor, or into coitiieing other people or their standards of life and conduct. He simply takes his stand on the right, he claims to be the sole judge of, who shall and who shail not settle within his borders. He is perfectly willing to extend the same right to other peo- ples without question. This attitude was particularly well exemplified by Mr, Hughes, the Aus- tralian Prime Minister, in the course Representatives. Mr. Hughes was de- scribing the stand which he had made, during the Peace Conference in Paris, against the efforts of Japan, supported by several of the powers, PREMIER HUGHES. to secure the recognition of racial equality, and the practical acceptance of the «: "sequences of this recogni- tion, hamely, the throwing open of the doors cf ray to the Japan- ese imniigrant. Mr. Hughes, as -he | told the story, followed in Paris the usual course. He at once opposed the lp roposal which was put forward by “ine Japanese délegate with a quite friendly but quite emphatic refusal. | The Japanese delegate,-not urnatur- ally, declined to take no for an an- swer. The proposal was amended and | again amended. Pressure was peought te’ bear in this direction and Hughes re- mained quite unmoved. “a said then,” he told the House of Representatives, “that it did not matter how they altered it, or what way they put it, we would not accept it. {| Mr. Hughes, however, was very far ' from refusing to discuss the question. To Baron Makino, when he declared that the Japanese were a proud peo- ple, and that they rded it as in- tolerable that they should not be con- sidered as the equals of Australians | and other races, he insisted that he was amongst the first to recognize the | Japanese as an equal. " He hoped, 1 moreover, that the Jap¢jese people and the Australian peo would al- ways be friends. -But, he added, a man in his ordinary life did not in- vite all his ends into his house, , and even t he did invite he did ‘not ask to become permabent resi- | dents.

He pointed out that Japanese ideals and Australian ! ideals were different. He would not venture to say that Australian ideals were greater and better than Japan- with saying that they were different.
