SENSE FROM JAPAN

HHE. Japanese government has given
every evidence of sincerity in its
Il efforts to control the emigration
of its subjects to the United States. It
has undertaken, in evident good faith,
to solve a difficult problem, and our
government and the people of the
United States should not hamper it by
demanding impossibilities.
In it's reply to advances recently made
by this government looking toward an
amicable settlement of the whole immi-
grafton question. Japan is believed to
have indicated that some of the sug-
gestions of our department of state will
be accepted as the bases of action on
it's part; other suggestions it cannot
well act upon, as to do so would be in
compatible with it's national dignity.
Nevertheless all suggestions have been
received in the friendly spirit which
actuated our government in offering
them.
There is little doubt that the vexing
problem which has menaced the peace
full relations between the two countries
will be amicably adjusted in good time.
prominent Japanese official in Wash
ington is quoted by the Associated
Press as having said: at matters not
whether America controls immigration
from Japan or Japan controls emigra-
ton to America" Certainly nothing
fairer could have been expected from
an accredited representative of the
mikado. Japan unquestionably is very
much in earnest in its determination to
respond to the American demand that
the outpourings of her subjects upon
American soil shall be curbed.

II set out to perform, and did 1t with
