Intelligence has been received at the
State Department to the effect that the
Italian Government has negotiated a
convention by which all Italians may
travel and reside in Japan, subject OF
course to local restrictions. The intel.

United States, showing, az it does, the
growing influence Of Italian Diplomacy

that these privileges were to be confer
red upon American citizens. but TOR
some reason, as yet unexplained, the
American Minister has been overreach-
ed by the Italian Minister at that pornt.
The 10 ormation serves but to confirm
the increasing belief here that the
United States is gradually losing lts
power in Japan, and that its old pres'
lige and influence are gradually being
counterscled by European powers.
