The California Probe M.

The American-Japanese situation"
NE said. involves two distiact con-
sidcrations First. the direct relations
Of the United States with Japan re-
garding the treatment OF japanese sub
iects in America and, secondly. the
complications which are arising and
which are likely to arise in the future
over China. As regards the issue which
has arisen between The United states
and Japan relative 10 the treatment
Of the japanese IN California and other
Western States the superficial issue il
the immediate problem, and is easily
understood
Wherever We discussed the matter
In Japan We found that representative
japanese insisted that Japan was a
friend Of the United states and that
this friendship was OF long stand
ing. that this action OF the California
Legislature. however, was a serious blow
to the friendship. although they believed
especially since the Christian people ~
the United States had taken the matter
up. that Justice would be done. I cannot
believe that any fair minded American
can hold any different opinion regard
ing this situation than that which is
held by the Japanese themselves. The
difficulty. of course. is to adjust matters
in the interest OF fair play.
Or. Mathews said that Americas in
terest In China is essentially twofold
which in the first place involves the
maintenance Of the so-callcd open door
policy
ITO this Japan has agreed he went
on. and during the past few weeks
Count Okuma has repeatedly stated In
his interviews TO both DR.. Gulck and
myself and others that this policy is TO
he maintained.
II cannot refrain from expressing the
hope that there will be hearty coopera
ton between herself and the United
states, not only in maintaining the tech
meal sovereignty and integrity OF China
but in watching over Chlna's interests
until that great land hnds itself able TO
erect itself into political order and
economical efficiency.
