TO HEAD OFF AGITATION.
New York. Jan. 2s.-An important
movement with respect to the japanese
question In California was inaugurated
today az a meeting Of the board OF
trades committee on foreign and in
sular trades. IL was decided TO report
90 the board that the merchants OF
New York appeal 10 the merchants
and manufacturers OF an the other
states 10 cooperate with them in Inn
pressing upon the people of California
the unwisdom OF persistent discrimina-
tion against the people Of Japan,
which has shown It's title to the respect
of the world at large, that has proved
itself TO be a great factor IN civilizing
and progressive Influences OF the world
and whose trade is Of Importance to
this country
The committee strongly deprecated
the agitation ia California and ex-
pressed the fear that its continuance
viii seriously affect the amicable rela-
lions between Japan and the United
States.
At the conference which was com
posed of the committee and others in
terestod in the japanese trade were
representatives Of the General Electric
company Kuhn, Leob a Co., A. A.
Van Tyn company the National city
bank. the China and Japan company
and Muller MacLean & co.
II was pointed out the while Japan
sells as $50 100000 more goods annually
than We sell Japan. IL Us also true
that the S69,0000 900 worth OF goods
which she sells US consists almost en-
tirely OF raw materials not produced
10 this country. such as tea and raw
silks, while the $50. 900 900 OF goods
which we export TO Japan consists OF
manufactured articles, the products OF
our factories and workshops
The committee feels that while the
autonomy Of the states should be yea
lousy guarded. no state should disre-
gard the fact that international trea-
ties constitute the highest law, nor
should they attempt 20 nullify such
treaties or do that which would injure
all the states and the Union.
The recommendations OF this COM
mittee viii be presented 10 the board
az the next meeting.
