Paris, Sept 15.-The question of
the racial equality of Japan, over
which the Versailles peace confer
ence nearly split, will be one of the
most important problems which will
confront the general assembly of the
League of Nations when that body
meets November Is at Geneva in
pursuance to call issued by presi-
dent Wilson.
Having failed to get recognition in
the treaty of Versailles, owing large
ly to the opposition of American and
British colonial delegates, Japan
now proposes to bring the matter
before the assembly of the League
1t is learned.
1t is believed that II Japan fails
to win the racial recognition that
would give her immigrants equal
rights and privileges with those OF
any other nation, she will withdraw
from the League of Nations.
