REPORT THAT SECRETARY ROOT
WILL NEGOTIATE NEW
TREATY WITH JAPAN
AGREEMENT OFFERED
COMMERCIAL CONCESSIONS IN RE.
TURN FOR EXCLUSION OF
JAPANESE LABoRERs.

Washington. - Sensational disclos.
ures OF international Importance are ex-
pected before the California legisla.
tuTc resumes consideration OF the anti
Japanese bills on Wednesday.
1t is rumored that Secretary Root
mas proposed new treaty covering the
entire question OF the relations between
the United States and Japan.
1t Is said that the proposals are de-
signed to settle not only the acute
problems In California. but to harmon.
lie the relation of the two nations In
the Pacific so that when disputes arise
they may be adjusted peacefully.
1t is hoped by this means to keep
within bounds the Inevitable compcti.
ton between Americans and japanese
on both sides OF the Pacific.
II was suggested In one quarter that
the treaty would provide for reciprocal
exclusion. the japanese to be kept out
of the United State and Americans out
OF Japan and Manchuria. II must be
remembered. however. that the United
States Is Irrcvocably committed to the
'l'll h'pl anu II -
likely. therefore that this can be part
OF the agreement
The better informed seem to think
that the United States is prepared to
grant many important concessions of
commercial character to Japan. In re-
turn Japan. 1t is believed, will strictly
enforce It's regulations against all emi-
~ rn1Iiag 10, thn Initial
Although conjecture as to the terms
OF the proposals are wholly In the air.
It is known definitely that negotia-
tions are now In progress for more
complete understanding between the
two nations as to their relations.
Toxic now has the agreement under
consideration. and reply is expected
before Wednesday. When the Califor-
mia Legislature again takes up the anti
Japanese bill II probably will find that
the national government has made n
tentative agreement TO remove most Of
the evils attendant on Japanese immi-
grafton TO the Pacific coast states.
If Toxic should fail to accept Amer.
ica's terms. the situation would again
be serious. for Californians would then
be able TO say that the national govern
ment had failed and that the state gov
ernmcnt must act.
President Roosevelt. in all his com.
munications to Governor Gillett and
other California leaders. has pledged
the national government to solve the
Japanese problem in such a way as to
rpmnvp all cnuSpS of COMPLAINT on the
Pacific coast. while at the same time
preserving friendly relations with
Japan.
