ADMINISTRATION PLEASED.

Washington, Feb. 2.-No single CUES
ton, nor indeed. any group of ques-
tons, is absorbing tn" interest and con-
Germ Of the administration at this mo-
mont as are certain phases of the anti
japanese agitation i'll California. The
President has been in communication
with many Persons who should he thor
oughly formed as to the conditions on
the Pacific coast. 1t is admitted that
IL systematic agitation is in progress
ON the coast. but Il significant feature
OF its lack OF strength IS the fact that
the labor leaders have taken no promi-
Hent nart in II. Indeed, 1t mas been
stated to the administration that the
real handspring of the agitation was
in some of the great corporations that
bad found their profitable business Of
Cn"llc transportation threatened with
destruction by the success attending the
efforts nf the administrator to stop
'his class of immigration. For the fact
is. that in the opinion OF the admins
tration the negotiations with Japan foi
a practically complete closure of Amer
lean ports to the entry of Japanese Ia
bCrerS are certainly jeOpardiZeu by the
extreme uttcranccS of certain persons
in California and by the mere conSid-
GRAFTON If such resolutions as We're en-

Nevada Legislature.
Even agreements already reached,
which are being carried out In per1ec.
good faith on the part of the Japanese
government, are endangered and the
sense of the present agitation might
very naturally tend to abate the in
Il rest of he japanese officials in the
execution of their obligations in view
OF the unfricndly attitude assumed by
some clements on the Pacific coast 1t
Is thes" considerations that have III
1luenced the President in reaching the
conclusion that everything possible
should be done to prevent the enact
ment Of legislation by any state that
would discriminate against the Jap
anese as class apart from otner for
eign elements entering America.
There is no objection whatever by the
administration to laws prohibiting al:
aliens from holding land in America.
For this is now done under the Re
vised Statutes. the law in the District
of Columbia and the territories ana
some cf the states. Indeed thero is Il
similar law in Japan and the govern
mcnt of that country consequently
cou,l rot regard it as anti-japanesc
legislation if adopted in California. The
President has entire confidence In the
pc ople of the Pacific coast. AMI is GER
tain that they will do right in this mat
ter.
The administration is much pleased
of fbc of Pre- q +
komlra in the Japanese Dict today,
Sc far as it touched upon the relations
between America and Japan.

A POLICY OF. PEACE.

Toxic, Feb. 2.-Speaking before the
Lower House of the Diet today, For
eign Minister KOmura outlined the
foreign policies of Japan in d carefully
wordcd speech delivered before q full
and attentive house. The opening sen
tence gave Iote of the tone Of the ell
tire speech when Count Komura COM
menccd cmphatically as follows:
"'rhe foreign policy or this empire
should have as an object the MAIN
tenancc Of peace and the development
Of natural resources
With reference to Great Britain he
said that events of far-reaching I'M
portance in the relations of the two
countries with other powers happily
and uniformly contributed to the co.,
solidatior of the general peace of east
ern Asia. which WAS one of the prin-
cipal objects of the agreement. The
alliance he continued, had steadily
gained strength and sOlidity and today
stands on an enduring foundatioo.
The relations Of japan with Russia,
he went on. were constantly increasing
in intimacy and both nations were
scrupuously observing the spirit and
attitude in the Pacific. while the poll
cies OF both governments were inciud-
ing momentouS results. Thus, in his
opinion, there was every reason to eil-
pect an increasing growth of the friend
ly sentiments between them.
Touching on the relations of Japan
with France and Germany he said that
they were on an equally satisfactory
footing and that the declaration of
Chancellor Won Buclow IN the Reich
stag clearly manifested the frank and
friendly attitude, and complete accord
OF Germany and Japan in the Far East.
He expressed the sincere hope that the
good relations with Germany would
continue. Concerning China, Count
