If It's Subjects Are to Be Treated as Outlanders i'll This Country They Are Likely to Be So Regard ed Everywhere
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH


 TOXIC, July 20.-The negotiations between the United States and Japan ever the California land bin stirred up in Japan widespread discussion by publicists and preachers of the broad subject of the future of Japan in her relations with the countries of the west There has been temporary subsistence of the discussion pending the receipt of the final note from Sec retary Bryan, transmitted last week.
 The discussion showed an earnest effort to seek the causes of the dis crimination against Japanese in Cali fornia and in other places, including Canada and Australia. Some conserv- ative newspapers criticized what they claimed to be the practice of the Jap anese authorities in California in en- couraging the registration of children born of Japanese parents future subjects of the Japanese Empire. in stead of allowing them to become, as they would. citizens of the United States
 Considerable publicity is given to an article by Rev. DanjO Ebina. a Chris tian pastor and editor-in- chief of the Shnjln magazine. The clergyman ar gued that the question between Japan and the United States was not one that would end with these two coun- tries. but one that would develop eventually between Japan and Canada. between Japan and the countries of South America - indeed, anywhere where where the great cause of Japa- nese isolation was the insistence upon ancestor worship and contended that the great solution of the whole ques- tion was a patient campaign to obtain ba Tie of in A,,1a arit
 Must the Japanese live everywhere as sojourners," pr. Ebina asked, live everywhere as strangers and foreign CTS. everywhere except where they have conquered? The development of our race demands that this should not be sO.
 The abandonment Of ancestor a-Or- ship and the adoption of a cOsmOpoli- tan faith were needed to enable the Japanese to assimilate abroad and thus open up a new universe for the Japanese race throughout the WoilG.
 Unity of thought between east and west is pleaded for in the first 9n- nual report of the Association Concor- dia of Japan. which includes some of the leading men of the Empire in edu- cational, scientific and business fields. The association declares that, although
 
 tercourse between the east and the west is growing increasingly intimate and their scientific interests are be- coming wider there is still a sad fail ure each side to appreciate the deeper things of the spirit which un derlie the life of the other Without any doubt the removal of causes of ir- ritation as regards political and com mercial affairs is an imperative duty, but the creation of a reciprocal sym pathy is equally urgent if Japan and the United States would law secure foundations for international peace and good will.
 The report contends that hencefOrth no nation can maintain it's life apart from the onward movement of the worlds thought and that the worlds civilization will hereafter flow in one strong current.
 Inasmuch as such problems as immi- grafton and colonization cOmplicate re- lations and endanger the peace and progress of the world by unduy em- phasizing national and racial differ ence, the association holds that it is imperative to foster mutual sympathy and a sense of common interest. It will strive therefore to promote a deeper sympathy and respect between the two great civilizations.
 This work will take the practical form of the publication of review, with the object of guiding the current thought, the establishment of lecture courses, the interchange of visits of distinguished scholars representing the best thought of the east and the west. and finally of international congresses. The association will also cooperate with various international bodies of similar kind in facilitating investiga- tiOns and in accelerating friendly in- tercourse among nations.
 MT. Soroku Ebara, who was sent to California by the governmental party of Japan, sent home a report in which he declares that despite numerous strong points in favor of the Japanese abroad, they still retain their peculiar traits which prevent them from asso- = ciating with people among whom they live. He strongly urges the Japanese to pay more heed to this point, as otherwise he fears for the future of
