JAPANESE CONCESSIONS
THE REPLY TO AMERICA.
Further Restrictions on Emigration
Opposition az Diet

Toxic Feb. 19.-The memorandum of the
United States the subject of emigration was
handed to Ambassador OBrien to-day.
II is understood that Il agrees in the general
terms with number of suggestions made by the
American government. and requires further
restriction OF emigration by the practical pro-
hibition of laborers. The japanese government
points out that the restrictions already enforced.
including the closing of emigration to Canada,
Mexico and the Hawaiian ISLANDS, will make
further complaints from America almost i'm
possible
All evidence goes 10 prove that the japanese
government has been unsparing in it's efforts to
avoid further complications rising from the emil
grafton question, but the government is facing
a powerful opposition from the emigration com
panies, who backing proposed resolution
in the Diet to censure the foreign policy OF
Count Hayashi. Minister of Foreign Affairs
toward China. America and Canada.
Should the resolution be introduced in the Diet
it will probably be defeated by a narrow mar
gin. Its passage would certainly entail the
resignation of the Cabinet. Should the Cabinet
be changed. the best informed japanese believe
that new administration would closely follow
the emigration policy of Minister Hayashi.
Viscount Aokf, former ambassador to Wash
ington. since his arrival has not called on the
Foreign Office or submitted d report on the
situation at Washington. but has assumed an
attitude of unfriendliness toward Count Haya-
shi. It Is believed that Viscount Aoki has
joined the forces opposing the Foreign Office.

unwritten law among us to patronlze
