WASHINGTON, Dec. S--Favorable
action by Congress on the recommends
alton of the President in his last an
nual message that an act be passed
specifically providing for the natural
ization of Japanese who come to the
United States intending to become
American citizens will go far toward
securing a continuance OF the tradi-
tional friendly relations between this
country and ia. an, in the opinion Of
Viscount .Aoki. the Japanese Enbassa-
dor.
"Of course said Viscount Aoki to-
day, no nation likes to see its subjects
leave to take up permanent abode IN
foreign land and lose all relation
with the fatherland, but In many cases
it cannot he helped
The Enba ssador expressed the be-
lief that there were not SO many Japa-
nese in this country to take advantage
OF naturalization IL it were granted,
but he thought that such an opportu-
nifty should be Afforded them along with
the citizens Of other countries. He
said he did not think it probable that
those japanese who were emigrating
in large numbers TO Hawaii and the
Pacific Coast would avail themselves
of naturalization, because OF the fact
that they represented the poorer class
and most Of them ultimately returned
TO Japan.
Viscount Aoki said he had every con-
fidence in the outco-se of the test case
which will be brought In the Califor-
MIA courts.
