JAP POINTS WAY TO
PEACE WITH U. S.
Says Nippon Wants Only Square
Deal for Her Citizens in

NEW YORK, Feb. 26-The way to
trouble and the way to permanent
peace between the United States and
Japan were pointed by pr. Toyokichi
Iyenaga today.
"Japan's attitude toward the
United>states," said DR.. Iyenaga, who
is looked upon as the ablest spokes-
man for the japanese government in
the United States today, depends en-

easily settled IL properly dealt with
at this time that there is not the
slightest occasion for Japan and the
United States to quarrel.

"All Japan wants is a square deal
for her $4,000 countrymen in this
land. Those Of us east of the Rocky
mountains get a square deal. Those
of us west of the range do not

ables are there, and 1t Is this group of
ignorant and .unthinking Japanese Of
the common laboring class which has
caused prejudice and mistreatment OF
japanese in that section of the coun-
try.
1--WE are doing out best to make
them behave themselves. They are
nothing more than the undesirable
anywhere.
Trouble Local Now.
''The trouble now is local, but It has
an international angle. I leave 1t to
the resourcefulness of the American
Government to settle. amicably and
quickly this situation.

a foreigner, tos suggest the method,
