JAPAN NOT sLlea1gD.
Roosevelt Had No Authority to Invite
Prince Fushimi.

Observation-Disclosures in Lon
don who declare that President
Roosevelt has sighted Japan because
he failed to invite Prince Fushimi, a
relative of the emperor, to the United
States, are agitated without cause.
Prince Fushimi will visit Canada, but
he does not intend to come to the Unit
ed States, as he was here three years
ago and was entertained as the ma
tons guest.
Prince Fushimi was not invited be-
cause it is not the practice of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to invite kings, princes,
dukes and other distinguished persons
to become the guest of the nation. He
has no authority to do so, as iSvita-
tons of this kind must be extended by
congress. Princes and dukes come to
the United States without invitations,
and the only notice the government
has of their coming is an informal and
unofficial one.
