ANTI-JAPANISM.


Count Okuma, former president of
the progressive party, has written an
article I'm which he unreservedly
praises President Taft for his policy
as embodied In his inaugural address,
+ In regard to that portion OF the ad-
dress dealing with the treaty rights OF
aliens, Okuma says that IL would be
a matter for universal rejoicing should
the delicate relations between the fed
eral and the state constitutions be ad-
justed in a manner thoroughly com
patible with national honor and the
standing of the United States as a
highly civilized power
In respect to the naval program, as
laid down in the inaugural speech, the
count processes to fully concur. He
writes that President Taft believes
that such an outcome is an unavoid
able demand of the times and ridi'
cules the idea that it is directed
against Japan.
Regarding immigration, the count
cannot entertain the Idea of restric
tion as principle. but he Is unoppos
ed to II as a temporary measure for
preventing unnecessary excitement
and irritation when Japan is unfor
tunately the object of the unwarrant
able suspicion. In conclusion he says
Local anti-Japanism is not of Sc
rious concern and will disappear when
they cease to be haunted by need
less suspicion. The true American
sentiment will ultimately prevail. es
pecially under the guidance of a great
fair-minded statesman of the eminent
ly peaceful disposition OF President
Taft"
