NEW YORK, July 14.-Appoint-
ment of Japanese American joint
high commission by the two govern
ments to study the question of the
{ japanese immigration TO the United
States, was advocated by DIR. Jacob
Gould Schurman, the former presi-
dent of Cornell University. in an ad--
dress at luncheon of the council
on foreign relations.
"Yet more than any other they have
been made the football of party poll
ticians. 1t is high time our national
government took them seriously in
hand" Schurman continued. "My DOM
inant impression of Japan is that
Japan is profoundly desirous Of main
tanning peace and friendship with the
United States and that for the accom-
plishment of that end she is ready to
make all concessions and sacrifices
which sensitive and high spirited ma
tion could be expected to undertake.

CHICAGO, H., July 14.-Little
progress was made by the new fusion
party during the first two hours OF
the convention today, there was an
undercurrent of dissatisfaction in evil
dence throughout the meeting which
required the pleas of the leaders and
constant conferences to keep open
breaks from cropping out. The plat
form is not ready for presentation,
and the convention was occupied
with minor details of business.
The majority report of the platform
committee of the fusion attempt at
creating a labor party is ntially parti-
ally completed. 1t represented chiefly
the labor party opinion, and members
of teh committee of AZ stood ready
after the presentation to serve notice
that La Toilette, generally pro,
posed as the fusion nominee, would
not run for president upon it.
Immediately after G h rm
Walker announced La Follette's de-
cision, Lester Barlow, leader OF the
World War Veterans demanded that
LA Toilette be drafted despite his
wishes. Barlow charged that the con-
vention was "boss ridden" by the rec
reant intriguing clique, and that IT'S
leaders were concealing La Follettes
platform for fear that the convention
adopt it.
