JAPAN TREATY
NEARLY READY
Informal Agreement Reached
Here Ignores Status Of Emil
grants in California.

The new treaty between the
United States and Japan which, it
is understood here. is now going
though the final stages of drafting,
is not expected to settle the status
of the japanese emigrant in Amer
lea.
NEED THREE AGREEMENTS.
The differences between the two
countries. II Is conceded. are three
/ fold and can be settled only by three
arrangements. according TO the pres
ent understanding which last. how
ever IL far from clear owing 10 fof-
ficial reticence on the subject in any
OF its phases.
The thrse aspects have to do with
trade and commerce between the two
countries: the immigration problem
and the status OF the japanese in the
United States; and, thirdly, and the
main question. Japan's policy in the
| Far East.
The first two issues are now tho
object of conferences between Am
bassador Shidehara representing
Japan. and Secretary OF State Colby.
! Undersecretary Norman Davis and
Ambassador Morris, home on leave
! from Tokyo, representing America.
A settlement OF these two problems.
at least temporarily is near. accord
ing to dispatches from Tokyo. In
Washington little IL said regarding
the negotiations and in Government
circules officials seem none too GER
tain that a treaty will grow out Of
| the present conversations.
FAR EAST PROBLEM UNTOUCHED.
The third problem. that In the Far
East, has not been touched upon and
remains in the offing difficulty
yet to be tackled.
Should the treaty with Japan ma
! terialize IL is considered likely that
no mention will be made In its bear
! ing upon the Japanese immigrant ion
| situation in California. Nothing
/ which the Japanese might construe
| as blow TO their racial or national
| pride. il is said, will be included in
the document. II Is considered far
more likely that whatever agree
ment is reached with regard to the
immigration question will be includ-
ed as part Of the "gentlemen's agree
ment" already existing between the
! two countries.
NOW PRACTICALLY COMPLETE.
| Whatever the terms OF the pro.
posed treaty may be they are now
understood to be practically complete
though in memoranda form. That Is,
the issues have been taken up, one
by one, and discussed by the Japanese
ambassador here and officials OF the
State Department As fast as an I'M
Outstanding was reached on each
item it was checked off and a new
one taken up until now, according
| to Tokyo cources the important
questions are ont of the way. All that
remains to be done is to put the docu-
ment together for submission to the
| Mikados government on the one
hand and the United States Senate on
the other for ratification.
Meantime word has reached Wash
ington that the Japanese are pre-
pairing "A strong case against the
California alien land law and are pro-
posing an early commencement OF the
litigation looking toward having the
legislation set aside by the United
States Supreme Court.
