Washington, D. c., Oct. 6.-The
United States government has made
good with the Pacific coast generally
and California in particular in the
matter of Japanese immigration.
When a year or two ago the people
of the Pacific slope notable in San
Francisco, grew restless over the Jap
anese question and uneasy over the
pronounced and increasing immigra.
ton from the yellow islands they voic.
ed strong protest to the authorities
at Washington.
The government promised to see
that such provision was made as would
be satisfactory. And its officials went
to work to bring about such an ar.
rangement as would suit the citizens
beyond the Sierras. There were ne
gotiations and counter negotiations,
proposals and counter proposals be-
tween the executive departments of the
two nations, with the result that an
arrangement was finally struck upon
satisfactory to all concerned.
Under the agreement reached no
passports were to be issued to Japa-
nese laborers. skilled or unskilled, ex-
cept to settled agriculturists, to those
having a previous domicile in the
United States or the immediate blood
kin of those having such domicile. It
was also understood that American
consuls in Japanese ports should guar
closely against the issuance Of pass
ports to any Japanese liable to become
laborer after arrival in American
territory.
The favorable results of this agree
ment are evidenced by the latest re-
ports just received from the depart
ment OF commerce and labor. The
immigration from the Japanese is
lands has decreased more than five
hundred percent since the agreement
was entered into between the two gov
ernments. While 1886 Japanese
were admitted into the continental
United States and 1O,O16 into the Ha-
waiian Islands. during the twelve
months ending April 80. 1908. only g.
O74 we're admitted to Uncle Sans
mainland and ?, 263 to the Hawaiian
Islands during the year ending April
30, 1909.
Furthermore, the records of the i'm
migration bureau show that during the
year ending April 80 1909, the Japa-
nese population in the continental
United States had decreased by 1,S53
During the month of April. 1909, the
latest period for which statistics are
available. 242 Japanese were admitted
to the mainland and AZ to Hawaii. a
falling off of more than 800 per cent
from the record of two years ago. But
even these arrivals were more than Off
set by the departure of resident Japa'
nese for their former homes. From,
the United States there sailed for ia
pan during that month, 253; from the
Hawaiian Islands 269
It can thus be seen that Uncle Sam
is clearing away any cloud of danger
due to an influx of Japanese immigra
ton.
