federal government in dealing with the diff
ferent states could be appreciated here. owing
to Great Britain's difficulties in dealing with
Newfoundland and other colonies.
Concerning the Anglo-Japanese treaty for
mutual support the official view is that this
treaty is limited, by It's preamble, TO the main
tenance Of the territorial rights Of Great Britain
and Japan I'm the regions OF Eastern Asia and
India In explaining the foregoing limitation.
the official referred 10 above related the follow
ing incident:
At the time Of the negotiation Of the treaty
one Of the negotators asked this hypothetical
question: If Japan became involved with Ger
many upon a question entirely local 10 Germany
and involving the situation in the Far East
would the treaty require Great Britain to sup
port Japan? Both the negOtators agreed that
Great Britain would not be required to support
Japan under such hypothetical conditions.
The official pointed out that this hypothesis
was practically the the existing San
Francisco controversy. which is local to Cali
fornia, and does not involve the status in the
Far East. as set forth in the preamble Of the
treaty.
The foregoing, however, is merely an express
sion Of view and shows the general tendency in
official quarters. There has not yet been any
occasion for a formal ruling on the subject.

Officials Pat Little Credence in
Reports of Tension.

London. Feb. 2.-Dispatches received here
from the United States reporting renewed ten
sion between the United States and Japan over
the San Francisco school incident are published
with rather derisve comment as the press takes
the view that Japan is not so belligerent she
is represented. and the official view, while IL
does not minimize the delicate points involved,
still does not regard the question as having
entered upon the critical stage. 1t is pointed
out that the reports Of a japanese "ultimatum'
probably arise from the popular Of the
word ultimatum.
Government circles thus far have given little
consideration to this controversy. as they DO
not share the view that il IS likely to embroil
Great Britain under the terms Of the Anglo
japanese treaty. Officials here point out that
the whole thing Is more question between the
federal and state governments than between
Japan and the United States. In a recent in
formal exchange Of views, one Of the chief gov
eminent officials said that the difficulties OF the

member OF the Japanese House of Peers and a
special ambassador recently detailed by the i'm

interview to-day the San Francisco school

From the outset knew IT to be local Ques-
uons unindorsed by American public opinion.
and have been speaking of It 10 my friends in
that light. This is moro than confirmed by
President Roosevelts message. which / consider
the greatest utteranCe since the farewell mes
sage Of President Washington. 1t is unprece-
oented In the way Il so strongly advocates a
foreign cause. No stronger or ADLER advocate
could be found for Japan. When the text Of his
message bearing on the school question was
fully translated in the leading papers throughout
this country even I'm the Island of Formosa, all
could readily see and appreciate the profound
ness Of his arguments. Had the question arisen
elsewhere, the crisis would have occurred. and
loud defiance would have been uttered the length
and breadth Of the empire. On the other hand.
the quiet tone of the press clearly demonstrates
the strength Of the confidence reposed IN Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the typical American senti-
menf generally.
AS a sincere friend OF America could not
help but regret that San Francisco officials
should have chosen innocent children for effect
ing their political ends
All my friends who have recently returned

ton Of educational systems IN civilized coun-
tries, concur in giving the first rank TO the
American system. The fact that such an excel
lent fruit of civilization has been refused to the
children OF a friendly power, and that, too in a
country acknowledged the practical exponent
Of humanitaTianism. only tends TO ALLEVIATE 1t
from the sympathes Of the civilized world.
Before this injustice Japan rests peaceful and
quiet Not n single soul has ever thought that
the San Francisco affair would endanger the
friendship Of both nations The affair, dis
agreeable and regTettable il is has served
the unique purpose of demonstrating TO the
world how deep rooted is the friendship between
