The specific charge against M,riow

JAPAN QUESTIONS
AMERICAN FIGURES
Immigrants Entering United
States Exceed Emigration
From Island.

TOKYO, Feb S.-Japan and the United
States can not agree on figures, and that
Is the cause Of the delay IN settling the
immigration problem.
When Ambassador O'Brien took the
matter up with the Mikado he submitted
a statement showing . large number
Of japanese immigrants had entered the
United States since March. The Jap
anese pointed out that the total exceed
ed the large number Of emigrants
TO the New World.
The islanders were very polite about
it. but asked time to look for an ex-
PLANTATION OF this conflict. They have
been investigating for ten days, but
have not yet wholly accounted for the
disparity.
In the meantime no passports are be-
Ing Issued to labOrerS and this in itself
removes q large element of danger. The
foreign office says il has no doubt OF
an early adjustment Of the difficulty.
