California. near the international bound

taken, Ambassador Chinda stated, per-
mission must also be obtained from the
Huerta government, which is in control
Of Calexico.
1t is not expected that there will be
any difficulty In procuring the consent OF
Huerta, who has been the recipient OF
favors from Japan, but Ambassador
Chinda showed a little concern over the
attitude the Constitutionalists will as
sumo. He said that the japanese I'm ques-
ton were simply laborers and wished to

could obtain employment.
Both Secretary Bryan and Ambassador
Chinda declared that the proposed exodus
OF the japanese out Of Chihuahua and
Juarez had nothing TO do with the re-
ported colonization of Japanese in Lower
California. Baron Chinda said that the
establishment Of a colony by his country
men at Calexico was not contemplated.
He also emphasized the fact that his gov
crnment had no interest in the expedi-
ton ether than to provide for a safe trip
