JAPAN AND MEXICO.

1t perhaps inevitable trouble between the United
States and Japan the Californian immigration question should
have brought the of kind of
understanding between Japan and Mexico for action
against the United States says the Japan Advertiser 1t evident
however that much weight be attached the revived report
of the intention to cede Magdaea Bay Japan for naval station
if Mexico willing this step Japan
far make such the present juncture for
would be almost antamont to forcing the Re
public without offering any immediate advantage to Japan naval
station OF value only link in line OF communication If Japan
were in possession OF Hawaii after successful with the United
States she would be IN position to obtain and to make use of naval
station the Mexican coast but Magdaena Bay before Hawaii
would be distinctly of cart before horse 1T is likely that
the leaders of apan foreign policy will allow their hand to be
forced by enangng alliance the benefits of which would be

Moreover the japanese element Mexico largely

problems her deal with and the hope using Japan
IN ally against the States vanished popular feeling
