Washington. April 24.-President
Wilson was asked by Viscount Sutemi
Chinda, the Japanese ambassador. to
have the ~phraseology Of the Burnett

ate immigration committee, changed
so that the apparent coupling Of the
japanese people with those Of Hindu
nationality would be eliminated. The
ambassador had talked the matter
over with Secretary Lansing, and, at
the request OF the latter. asked the
president today TO take up the mat
ter with Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima. chairman OF the committee. The
president Is expected to ask that the
bill be changed to carry the language
agreed upon in this connection two
years ago when a similar proposition
came up.
II is understood that the japanese
ambassador called the presidents at.

government had agreed to restrict
coolie emigration to the United
