PARIS, Sept. 15.-The question of
racial equality for the Japanese, over
which the Versailles peace confer
ence nearly split, will be one of the
most important problems confronting
the general assembly of the league
of nations when it meets November
Is in Geneva in pursuance to the call
of President Wilson.
Having failed to get such recognl'
ton in the treaty Of Versailles, owing
largely to opposition of American
and British colonial delegates to the
peace conference, japan now pro
poses to bring the matter before the
league assembly for. final settlement
it was learned today.
The belief was expressed in Ger
tain quarters that if Japan fails then
to win the racial recognition that
would give her emigrants equal
rights and privileges with those OF
any other country, she will withdraw
from the league.
In preparation for the fight she
expects to make, Japan has just re-
tanned accommodations at Geneva
for the largest delegation that has
manifested it's intention Of attending
the assembly meeting In addition
to he. three official delegates, she
has made arrangements for housing
six ty-two other representatives.
Acco! ding to rumo~s current in
Paris diplomatic circles, Nl&coHnt
Ishyj the Japanese foreign minister,
may HIN self be present 10 conduct
the negotiations.
During the Versailles conference
this question of racial equality came
close to causing an even more can
gerous schism than the one over
Fiume. when the Italian delegation
withdrew. Although the Japanese
fought hard to have the clause en-
bodied in the league covenant, they
automatically accepted defeat rather
than push the issue to definite
showdown at that time. + was an
open secret that the temporary award
of Shantung to Japan was reward
for her decision to stir up no serious
trouble
In failing to insist upon accept
ance of the principle Immediately,
however. the Japanese made 1t per-
fectly< clear that the question must
be fought out at some future date.
Diplomats here regarded Japan S
decision to make the first meeting
of the league assembly the battle
ground a most strategic one. During
the peace conference the opposition
to the question Of Japanese racial
equality came largely from the
American and British colonial dele
cations.
Premier Hughes OF Australia was
particularly bitter in his denuncia-
tion of it. At the Geneva meeting
the Japanese will not face such oppo-
sition.
America, not being a member Of
the league, will have nothing to say
about it.
AS to the British colonies, particu-
larly Canada, Australia and New
Zealand. they can only make their
protest heard through the British
delegation. Unfortunately for them,
however desirous the mother coun-
try may be to meet their wishes and
preserve their good Will, her alli-
ance with Japan is such that her atti-
'tude is expected to be hardly better
than neutral, at the most.
