dents and tourists from Japan may

For long time IL has been be-
lieved by the best informed officials
and diplomats that the enactment of
an exclusion law by the United States
would inevitably be followed by war
with Japan. Possible anti-Japanese
race riots in San Francisco or else
where on the Pacific coast have also
been danger that has not been over
