ORDERS Of DIET
AND ASK CHANGE
Nipponese Residents of the
United States Ask for an
Amendment of New Reg
uIations Governing Them

/ tsT SosH'no JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED ~issl
Toxic, July among the sub
jects for consideration at the next
session of the diet is one covered
in a petition from Japanese resi-
dents in the United States, which
asks for the amendment of the new
regulations governing them. AS
promulgated last year and put into
effect in April.
The japanese authorities last
WOW "ovised tho regu atoms to eX-
tend the age limit for the eXemp-
tIUu from Consumption of japanese
residents abroad from 80 to 81
years, and to shorten the maximum
period during which they could
stay in Japan without being sub
iect to can from six months to one
month. The authorities at the
same time announced a decision TO
refuse passports to picture
brides"
This Is said to have given rise
to strong opposition from Japanese
residents in the United States, who,
through a convention of de egat0s
at San Francisco, passed the fol-
lowing resolution:
MANY of the japanese residents
in America have crossed over with
a view Of permanent settlement
One month as the maximum limit
of their stay in Japan when back
for a visit would therefore be too
short time within which to exc
cute all the business they have
to do in Japan Especially is this
n
pose of marriage, now not possible
by means of an exchange of pic
lures.
at least three months are noc-
eesary Jananese residents in Amer
lea, accordingly, will appeal to-
their home government to extend
the maximum limit Of their stay in
Japan to at least half year"
The resolution was received
few weeks ago by Etsujiro Uyeha-
ra.. president of the japanese Asso-
citation of Settlers in America, ard
preparations are now being made
bv him for the introduction of the
subject in the next session OF the
diet
"Certainly no regulations could
he harder on the japanese. MY.
lTyehara is quoted by the kokusal
News agency as saying. He cont!n-
ued: Their request for the amend
ment of the regulations deserve
support and it is my determination
to do my utmost to obtain the re-
vision.
'The situation is really more Sc
rious tn the Japanese abroad than
the anti-Japanese movements
against them in the United States.
Commenting on the budget to be
introduced in the coming session
of the diet, Baron Takahashi, min
lister OF france. said In state
mont issued tn the nress, that the
most important measure Is
scheme for STRENGTHENING the ma
tional defense, which can be c$-
ried out only by an increase in the
income and other taxes, He re
grets. he said, that opposition IS
shown against this on the ground
that the government taVes incomes
according to total amount rather
than their nature, thereby throw
ing a burden on shareholders and
causing financial depression.
The minister thinks that this
opinion is not justified by the facts,
and that the depression has peeh
the effect of other causes. me
taxation increase has been resor'ed
to, continued the minister, in the
absence of a better means. because
the contamination Of the national
defense scheme is absolutely nee
essary.
Respecting the governments
loan flotation policy, which mas
been criticized in some quarters as
impracticab'e on account of the fl
naocial DEPRESSION, the minister OK
nresses himself enthusiastically. The
plans for the next fiscal year IN
yolve the issue of loan bonds to-
failing about 4OO,00O,000 yen, of
which only 90 per cent will affect
the money market, as the greater
part will be taken up by conversion
while the surplus funds of the state
will enable the government to
choose the best time for the issue
of loans.
