"Humiliation Day"

On July 1, the date the U. S. Immigration Law of 1924 was enacted (TIME, June 2, 1924, et seq.), Japan will commemorate Humiliation Day, if the Pacific Civilization Society and kindred organizations have their way.

The exercises are to include religious services at the grave of the "Unknown Patriot" who committed hara-kiri (suicide by evisceration) near the grounds of the old U. S. Embassy as a protest against "the exclusion of Japanese from the U. S." Mass meetings and other pacific demonstrations are scheduled and a list of names of representative Japanese, together with their opinions, are to be collected in a book, translated, sent to U. S. Congressmen, Chambers of Commerce, newspapers, etc.
