Washington, D. O., Jan. l7--seere-
tary Taft appeared before the Senate

the conditions at the canal site. He
thought that the canal should be COM

that with the locks widened to 10 feet

Canadian minister Of Labor is entirely
satisfactory to the Canadian government
ana that it would accept in good faith
TIE verbal promise 81 the restriction Of
the emigration Of labors, relying upon
the Japanese government to enforce the
regulations which are outlined in its
memorandum. Nothing now remains ex-
copt the exchange of memorandum be-
tween the two governments.
A mistaken idea prevails abroad in re.
gard to the Japanese cabinet CRISIS, ac-
cording b dispatches from Washington
and London to the effect that an opposi.
tion victory might entail change IN
Japanese foreign policies.
Specials from Washington this morn
ing say that il is believed that the i'm
migration controversy had something 10
do with changes in the cabinet. These
surinises are entirely error. The cabinet
crisis is purely the result Of interior Diff

Der Of the present ministers, including,
possibly, Foreign Minister Hayashi.
