JAPAN'S PROBLEMS
FAR FROM SETTLED

TOXIC, April 81 Appearance OF
bills believed here to be anti-Japanese
in nature in the legislatures of Idaho
and Oregon confirmed the Japanese
people in the belief that the problem
OF the Japanese in the United States
still is far from settled.
The newspapers published lengthy
dispatches from the United States mar
rating the developments OF the Ore
gon and Idaho legislation but only a
few OF them published editorial COM
ment.
At the present time the press is in
terested in the possibilities of China
entering the war, in the political crisis
at home and especially in the projects
to establish cooperation between
Americans and Japanese in the deveI.
opment of China
Japan wishes to share in the devel.
opment of China and incidentally her
representative people, the business
element particularly, believe that II
the United States and Japen can find
common interest the chance of find
ing solution of all problems will be
improved. This idea is expressed in
an article written by the chief editor
of the Nichi Nichi, who finds his text
in the recent American bills and in
the recent founding of an American
Japanese association for the exchange
of ideas on vital problems concerning
the two countries.

men in the higher station of life OF
both countries. The people are bound
to strive for fundamental solution
Of any difficulty which may arise"
The newspaper traces the history
of antI-Japanese legislation and says
that the Washington government
would point to the power of the In.
diyidual states and its inability to
control. though 1T might influence,
state action. 1t continues:
"The Japanese nation understands
