been openeIy displayed In great vol
ume. Every day the mail OF congress
members contains more and more Tit
erature," urging almost at all costs
to prevent the break in relations from
developing into a more serious mat
ter.
Congress members who have frankly
expressed pacifists and pro.German
tendencies in floor speeches, are much
impressed with reports from Austria
to the effect that officials there are
hoping for a complete congressional
airing of German-American relations.
Such members have themselves ex-
pressed that identic view.

1t was pointed out today that the.
president has two alternatives. One
is introduction by his congressional
leaders of joint resolution providing

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Relations
between the United States and Japan
are more friendly but this Is prin-
cipally due to war-created conditions
and not to any recent developments
in the immigration situation, Japanese
Ambassador Sato declared today.
There nave been no recent exchanges
in diplomatic channels, Sato said, to
effect the immigration question But
the European war has Increased the
friendly feelings between the coun-
tries and the immigration discussion
has been at least temporarily set
aside. The recent firm stand of the
United States against Germany's sub
marine warfare has cemented this
friendship, according to Sato.
Furtner reasons assigned by the
Japanese envoy for more friendly re-
lations are the doubling of commerce
between the two countries since the
war started and attempted co-ordina-
