TREATY FOR JAPANESE
EXCLUSION DISCUSSED

Washington, Feb. 21.-Viscount Aoki
called at the state department today to
discuss with Secretary Root the pro-
gram to be followed in conducting ne
gotiations in forming a treaty relating
TO the restriction of Japanese cooiie
immigration in the United States As
the ambassador had been fully in
formed of all the steps leading to the
passage of the immigration act. and. in
fact. had really suggested the adoption
of measures to exclude Japanese with
cut passports. he was not disposed 10
criticise adversely what had been done
by congress. Therefore. the way to re-
sumo negotiations was easy. and it is
believed that before the assembling Of
the next congress the new convention
will be ready for consideration of the
measure
