Nbere Il created a fear of an armed
clash between the two countries
Reports of possible war that have
hsen sent out from Washington are
NOT only misleading, but are wholly
up,ustified by any facts In possession
~ either government. The relations
between the United States and the en-
nIre of japan never were more cordial
Than they are today. The Japanese

THE treaty which Is pending ana
yhich Is the direct result OF the uell-
cate intervention of the president, was

there was the slightest danger OF war.

Nv here AT the same time they were
entirely unwilling to submit 10 any,
thing In the nature OF International
Insult. and they generously have agreed
10 the signing Of treaty preventing

All they have asked has been that as

were received IN the public schools ON
an equality with American children

AS the Japanese are to be barred
out by the treaty, the children of that
race Of school age naturally Will dis
appear within a few years and thus
the Pacific coast Will be free of the
threat of japanese immigration and of
the association OF white with japanese
children Of the coolie class. On the
other hand the people OF the Pacific
slope want Japanese excluded, and
when that is done they viii be entirely
satisfied. 1t rests with the school au-

whether the fair compromise arranged
by President Roosevelt shall be put in
force or not,
