JAP CLAIMS SETTLED
Equal Rights Demands No Longer
Menace League.


Paris. March 22.-Japan's claims
for equal rights" for Japanese citi-
zens, which have been menacing the
league of nations plan, have been set
tied in a series of private confer
ences, it was understood this after
noon.
1t was reported that the matter
had been so modified that it was
generally unobjectionable. The word
equality" was said to have been cut
out of the japanese demand, so that
it simply calls for justice alike for
the nationals of all members of the
league.
AS one American delegate pointed
out, this is virtually what the decla-
ration of independence says.
But even with the notifications it
is learned that the British domin-
ions. especially Australia, are not en-
tirelv satisfied. Australia has taken
the stand that she will not tolerate
any reference which might even be
remotely construed as "softening" the
racial issue.
This has put the United States in
the position of passing on the whole
question for itself and Great Britain.
Keishire Matsui, japanese ambas-
sddOr 10 rams anu d leaulnS nemDeT
of the japanese peace delegation, in
an interview today said that the pro-
posed racial amendment (as put for
ward by JAPAN should not be con-

tage Of any such clause. as they were
merely insisting upon a broad prin-
