JAPAN TO RENEW
FIGHT AT END
OF WAR
Nippon Embassy in Washing
ton Says Emigrant Question
Is Not Settled.

WASHINGTON, Sept, SO.-Iapan's
purpose to renew, after the European
war, Its contention for the right Of
It's people to emlgrate to and own
land in the United States, suggested
in New York by Baron Yoshiro SalSa-
TAM. former finance minister in the
Toxic cabinet. was frankly admitted
at the Japanese embassy. Negotla-
tions over these questions, which
came to deadlock two years ago,
are not regarded by Japan as con-
cluded, II was explained, but merely
postponed. while the larger Issues OF
tho war are being dealt with.
thp deadlock followed a long series
OF conferences between former Secre-
taly niyln and baron ChInda. then
the Japanese ambassador, and an ex-
change Of notes between the two gov
ernments over the alien land teglsla-
ton enacted by California. After the
state department had pointed out that
under It's constitution, the United
States government could do no more
than seek to prevent such legislation
and that persons agected by 1t had
recourse to the federal court, Japan
closed the exchanges with note say
ing It's complaint had not been an-
swered, and reservlng "for the pres
ent" further discussion OF the issue.
There will be no formal discussion
of the subject by the embassy at least
until the arrival of the new ambassa-
dor, DR.. Amoro Sato, who was APP
pointed when Baron Chinda was
transferred to London, and who is ex-
pected in Washington in few
months.
The position Of the Japanese gov
eminent, according TO informal state
ments by embassy officials, still is
that restrictions on immigration and
land holding are not only derogatory
10 its dignity, but are unjust under
international law in that they are dis
criminatory against its in favor Of
other nations.

United States.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 30.-President

MOOSE
IN OKLAHOMA
BACK IN FOLD
And Experts Say the State viii
Certainly Be in Repub-
liCan Column.

TULSA, Okla, Sept. SO.-The Okla
homa Republicans are growing in con-
fidence that they will carry the state
for both the national and state tickets
this fall.
The remarkable state convention in
Oklahoma City a few days ago, cOu-
pied with big meetings in Tulsa, Mus
kogee. Perry, Enid and other places
has accentuated the belief Oklahoma
can no longer be classed as part Of
the Solid South.
This faith is based largely on the
return to the Republican party OF over
ninety-tlve per cent of the Progressive
vote in Oklahoma, although the cleo
ton laws forbade distinct vote for
