Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON Jan. 31.--It is be-
lieved here by those who have the best
means of knowing that the presidents 8
tentative agreement with the Japanese
ambassador relates to a reciprocal ex-
clusion treaty with a favored nation
clause.
Just how the school question will be
settled seems to be a problem. Senator
Flint said today that he had hopes that
the conference would lead to an ami
cable solution of the difficulty. Sena-
tor Perkins was not much more san
guine.
The representatives were somewhat
less jubilant than on the preceding
evening, but they seemed full of hope
and verging on confidence. One of them
said:
I'VE are going to get what we want
perhaps not at this session of con-
gress, but certainly at the next-we
are going to get it,
What Californians want, as every one
knows, is the exclusion of Japanese
laborerS, but they want 1t without
embarrassing conditions or at cost of
expensive concessions to Japanese pride
or Japanese commerce.
What the hope is that the president
has held out to them is the mystery
in the present negotiations.
Pooh-Poohs War Talk
| AS for war talk, the government
| pooh-poohs that. The defenseless con
ditions of the islands has long beef
known to every one and naval officers
have freely speculated on the result
Of an outbreak of hostilities
They agree that this country would
probably abandon the Philippines to
their fate at first and possibly Hawaii
too. and let the Japanese come right to
the Pacific coast, as it would be mad
ness to invade foreign waters and fight
the torpedo and submarine experts of
the japanese navy.
We might defend our own coast, but
a war with Japan would last, 1t is
predicted, from two to six years-until
we could build a navy to fight it, in
fact.
But it is pointed out that Japan is
almost bankrupt and that no nation
would finance it for war on this coun-
try.
A high Japanese officer is remem-
bered to have said once, in a conversa-
ton, that an army could not be raised
in Japan to fight the United States.
But war as far away.
Another conference will be held as
soon as Altman and Rancovieri of the
San Francisco school board of educa-
ton reach here, and after that one
may tell with some certainty what will
be the outsome.

Goroku 1keda of San Francisco, Sec

in all affairs concerning the japanese
side of the public school controversy,
is at the Westminster
Mr.. Ikeda is here to meet with twen-
ty-three representatives of the branch
societies of the association for a four
days conference on questions of vital
interest to the japanese at present.
The men have come from all parts
of California and they are being much
entertained. Last night M. Takekama,
manager of the Japanese-American
bank. gave banquet for them.
I'VE have organized to promote jap
anese welfare in America, and this is
our third conference" said Mr.. Ikeda.
There are 10000 Japanese in this
country and there is necessarily much
of importance to be discussed.
Tomorrow we expect to take up the
discussion of the advisability of ex-
Guiding the Japanese coolies who go to
Honolulu as laborers from the main
land. I believe that If only the best
class of Japanese merchants comes to
California there could be no objection.
We want to build up our trade and see
no reason why we should not bring
much that is good to America.
Discusses School Controversy
"Int the school controversy we are
depending on the United States govern
ment to do the right thing. I went to
the board of education in San Francis
co and made a protest against exclud-
| ing the Japanese children from the
public schools attended by American
children. My protest was not accepted
and l sent word to all the papers
throughout Japan. The news of the
controversy was published and came to
the attention of the Japanese govern
ment. 1t was in turn presented to the
government of the United States
through our minister at Washington.
and now we can only wait for the gov
ernment to do the right thing for us.
We believe that our children should
have the right to learn in the American
schools with American children. They
make good students and their progress
Is the subject of much comment by all
who come In contact with them.
"The labor question has been the
chief cause of the trouble in San Fran
cisco and we will probably pass reso-
lutions today which will go to Japan
and may have some bearing on the
situation"

headquarters of the Los Angeles branch

SACRAMENTO, Jan. Ex-senator
Caminetti today bitterly arraigned the
California delegation In Washington for
it's failure to take some action in con-
gress on the Japanese question. He
declared the delegation did not rep
resent the sentiment of the state.
I'VE have vet to hear one word on
the japanese question from the delega-
tion," said he.
Senator Curtin w. rmly seconded Sem
ator Caminetti, and said that while
the Congressional Record showed that
representatives from Oregon and other
states had discussed the Japanese
question in congress, with the eXcep-
tion of Congressman Hayes, not one
word had been heard frorl the Cali
fornia delegation asserting the rights
of California.
The attack was precipitated by one
of the liVeliest debates on the Japanese
question which has occurred on the SEN
ate floor during ne present session and
followed the reading of the message
from the governor conveying to the
senate the telegram received from the
California delegation at Arlington
urging, at the request of the president,
that the California legislature for a
short time defer all legislation on Jap
anese matters.
The governor trged tnat In view OF
the apparent Importance of the matter
