Washington, Dec. g., Exclusion of
Japanese laborers by imperial edlct Is
now under consideration by President
Roosevelt, officials Of the state de-.
partment and Ambassador AokL IT
has been brought forward as an al
ternative proposition TO the negpfia.
tion OF "A treaty making such cxclu
ion effective.
| II is held that the Emperor Of japan
can issue an imperial decree prohibit
ing the undesirable classes Of his sub
jeots from emigrating to the United
States. This is considered a simple
and effective plan. 1t would ohyiate
the necessity for any negotiation and
the matter need not come before the
senate for consideration and ratifca
| ton.
Quick Change Of Plans.
1t is regarded as preferable to the
treaty plan. because it would ma.
terially improve the Positions now
occupied by the president ana the en-
peror.
This Is explained: Tho Emperor Of
Japan could issue an cdict prohibiting
emigration to the United states en
the ground that President Ro1 evelt
In his annual me essays urged congress
q enact a special naturalization law
for the benefit of Japar ese dnsigi7g
to become residents of America He
tna
adict became operative ak once home
industries would be crippled by an
exodus Of Japanee to the United
States, whereas the imperial govern
meat seeks to t,irn the tidr of cmi.
grafton toward Cnrea and Manshuria.
The president could explain IN his
turn that he had dsie everything
possible for the Japanese. but their
emperor had interfered because he
iesires his people to remain at home
or emigrate to Pacific countries.
Edlct Supercedes Treaty.
The president perfected all ar
TO negotiate new treaty
with Japan excluding laborers. He
permitted this to become known for
the purpose of quieting the Califor.
mans. who became agitated over the
Japanese question IN the annual mes
sage. Considerable progress had been
made in the direction of treaty.
Ambassador Aoki, for Japan, sug
yested that this course would mean
disturbance in Japan. and the plan OF
accomplishing the same results as an
imperial edict was brought forward
rhis was equally acceptable TO the
president and satisfactory TO the am
,assador. A treaty would undoubtedly
,c arranged If the Japanese govern
nent did not have troubles Of its own
II home. It Is possible disturbance G
nay result, and the emperor awaits a
)ropitious opportunity to make his
,dict effective. when the government
