ANTI-AMER|CAN SENTIMENT IN
 JAPAN GROWING
Newspapers Generally Are Engaged in Roasting the United States for AL
 leged Activities.

TOXIC, April 17.-Added interest in the Japanese and American rela. tions is centralized by the announce ment that Japanese Ambassador Ishii is returning to Japan, and the cou- tinuation of an anti-American cam. paign in Japanese newspapers.
 The newspapers assail the United States Government for its alleged activities in Siberia. Korea, China, Jiji and Shimpo. They say the Unit. ed States selfishly wants the Monroe Doctrine included in the peace cove. nant, and this fact and the opposition to the Japanese racial amendment have caused a split between America and Japan.
 It is generally believed that the situation has resulted in the Japanese Government calling the Japanese Am. bassador home. looking to possible eventualities in the future.

RIGGS TO CALL
 ELECTION TO BE
 HELD IN JUNE
Governor Will Issue Call For Special Election Shortly After the Legislature
 Adjourns.

Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., announced today that he will issue a call early in May, immediately after the Legis lature adjourns, giving thirty days notice of a special election to fill the vacancy in the office of Delegate to Congress created by the death of Delegate Charles A. Sulzer. Gov Riggs decided on an early election in order to permit the man elected to reach Washington before the close of the special session of Congress that is expected to convene before the first of June. ...N..
 Gov. Riggs is also firmly convinc. ed that a protraoted political cam paign which would extend over the entire Summer would have compli. eating and depressing effect on the readjustment of the business of the Territory
 Under the law the Governor is di- rected to call special election in the event of vacancy in the office of Delegate to Congress, giving thirty days notice thereof
 The Organic Act provides that the election shall be in accordance with the provisions of the law of Con gross at that time in effect for the election of a Delegate to Congress. That, and the terms of the primary election law itself, which provides that the primary election shall be held on the last Tuesday in April on the even numbered years, is be- lieved to eliminate the primary elec- tion as a method of nominating can. didates to be voted upon at special election.
 Therefore, the conclusion has been arrived at that the election will be conducted as were the elctions for Delegate to Congress before the pas sage of the Australian ballot law and the primary election law.
 Election Early in June
 The law requiring that the Cover nor give thirty days notice of spec ial election does not provide that It may be longer than that time, and the belief now is that it must be for exactly thirty days. Therefore, the election will probably be held early in June.
 May Be Party Conventions
 The elimination of the primary election may result in party conven- tions such as were held in Alaska prior to 1918 This is a matter that has been a general topic Of conversation in Juneau today.
