tions on immigration and
Land Holding Violate
international Law.

States. suggested in New York by
Baron Yoshiro sakatani. former Fl.
nance Minister IN the Toxic Cabinet.
was frankly admitted at the Japanese
Embassy. Negotiations over these
questions. which came to q deadlock
two years ago, are not regarded by
Japan as concluded. II was explained,
but merely postponed while the larger
Issues OF the war are being dealt with.
The deadlock followed long series
Of conferences between former Secre.
tary Bryan and Baron Chinda, then the
japanese Ambassador, and an ex.
change OF notes between the two gov
ernments over the alien land legisla-
tion 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 affected by II had
recourse to the Federal Courts, Japan
closed the exchanges with a note say.
ing her complaint had not been an.
swered and reserying "for the present
further discussion Of the issue"
It has been generally assumed that
the issue would remain In abeyance
only while Japan was occupied with
the war. but until now no one In n
position to speak with authority has
said so There viii be no formal dis
cussion Of the subject by the Embassy
at least until the arrival OF the new
Ambassador, DR.. Amoro Sato, who was
appointed when Baron ChindA was
transferred TO London, and who is ex.
pected in Washington in a few months.
Japan's Dignity Offended.
The position of the japanese govern
ment, according TO informal state
ments by Embassy officials, still is
that restrictions on immigration and
land holding are not only derogatory
to her dignity, but are unjust under
international law in that they dis.
criminate against her IN favor of other
nations, Removal Of these restrictions.
It is explained, are regarded as Japan's
third and final step in her rise to state
hood, the first two being the abolition
Of extra territoriality and the negotia.
tion Of commercial equality treaties.
