TOXIC, Sept. 22 (By The Associated
Press).-The Japanese government, as
a result of yesterdays meeting of the
Cabinet, will. in the first place, vigor-
ously pursue the negotiations concern
ing American anti-Japanese legislation
and. in the second place. will push
firmly the question Of racial equality
in the League of Nations conference,
according to the Hochi Shimbun to-day.
These decisions will be considered
further at to-day's meeting of the
Diplomatic Advisory Council, the news
paper says.
The labor unions, in conference here
to-day, adopted resolutions pledgng
harmonious cooperation with the Jap
anses laborers of California in their
insistence upon their lawful rights"
The resolutions were cabled to the
California labor associations.
At public meeting in the Y. NJ. c.
A. hall here to-day, Representative
Kodama spoke on the subject "An
American-Japanese War" He de-
nounced American militarism, saying
that as long as threatening nation
existed beyond the Pacific Japanese

the speaker.
Columbia Graduate Speaks
A graduate of Columbia University,
New York, NJ. Osaka, who followed
Representative Kodama, attributed the
anti-Japanese sentiment in the United
States to racial differences. He de-
clared that the whites were depressing
the colored races, backed by the power
nd Df
was the only country strongly oppos-
ing white oppression, M. Osaka as
serted, and therefore had incurred the
hatred of the Americans. The jap
snese. he added, must strongly be
determined to meet any serious con-
sequences following the serious anti
Japanese movement prevailing in
America. A large crowd acclaimed the
speakers.
The Hochi shimbun says it thinks
the negotiations with the United States
hinge on whether the so-called gentle
mems agreement" should be revised
and formal treaty drawn up. The
political situation in the United States,
however, does not favor a speedy solu-
ton, which might be overturned by the
succeeding administration, the news
paper declares. The Hochi says Amer
lea seems to object to giving the Jap
anese equal treatment with other
aliens. 1t declares some Japanese Off
Gals are convinced the anti-Japanese
sentiment is spreading gradually
throughout the United States and
therefore the Japanese must seek
fundamental solution.
The Hochi understands also that
Japan will insist upon maintenance of
her rights in the South Sea Islands,
for which she received the mandate at
the peace conference.
Although Great Britain and the
United States may oppose racial
equality. according to the Hochi, Japan
will insist by ali possible means upon
its acceptance by the League of Ma
tons.
Hara Calls Outlook Serious
In his address to the provincial gov
errors yesterday, Premier Hara said
the situation of the world never was
more strained than at present. Hither-
to, he declared, Japan's problems had
been confined to the Orient, but inter-
national competition had arisen, re-
sulting in marked increase in Japan's
responsibility to the world and the
expansion of her national expenditures.
Japan had decided to withdraw her
troops from Siberia, except from those
places where consideration of the En-
Pire's defense rendered tho stationing
Of troops imperative, Premier Hara
said.
