TO WARN JAPS
THE MIKADo's EVAslvE TACTICS
STRAIN FRIENDLY RELATIONS.
MUST MEET IMMIGRATION ISSUE
Ambassador O'Brien Tells Of Fruit
less Effort to Exact a Promise
Present Pact Is Broken.

Washington, d. C.-Negotiations
have reached a somewhat critical
stage. While war as an e~ventuality is
not seriously apprehended, largely be-
cause of Japan's unpreparedness, it
is known that the historic friendly
relations are strained almost to the
point of breaking. The official denial
given at the state department of ca
led reports of demands having been
made upon Japan are literally true in
a diplomatic sense, but the denial, in
u measure. is an evasion.
The oral representations and the
exchange of memoranda reduced to
plain English, means just this:
Ambassador O'Brien, acting under
instructions, has, since reaching his
post last October. been attempting to
secure from the Japanese government
satisfactory assurances that under the
pledge given at the time Of the pas
sage of the immigration law last Feb
ruary, the Japanese government would
assist in restricting the emigration to
this country of Objectionable Japanese
labor.
Japs Dodge the Issue.
Twice has he communicated to Sec
rotary Root replies obtained from
Count Hayashi. in which the Japanese
government attempts adroitly to dodge
the issue.
The presentation of cold statistics
showing laxity, coupled with the init
nation that congress may adopt more
stringent measures, possibly an ex-
clusion law, brought from the Jap
anese government the second reply,
which reached Secretary Root a few
days ago in the form of a cablegram
which cost several thousand dollars.
Secretary Root is now preparing an
answer, with the assistance of sew
eral experts in oriental affairs. The
Japanese government will be informed
that assurances can not be given that
an exclusion act will lot be passed,
but that the administration will exer-
else its influence to prevent such legis-
lation, if possible, pending negotia-
tions.
