AMERICAN JAPANESE QUESTIONS
 ..s BE SOLVED BASIL ' BY Z NATIONS

It is true that the Korean ques tion is being discussed by certain Americans with considerable en- thusiasm but after all it being an in ternal problem, it is not of such a nature as to call for the interference of an outsider, he concluded. Since the outbreak of the riots in Korea in 1919 the Japanese government has been introducing reforms in the ad- ministration of the peninsula so as to conform with the American ideas of good administration. Under these circumstances, he argued, there is no fear of an appeal to arms being made in regard to the Korean question.
 Baron Sakatani said that Japan has been expressing her readiness to return Shantung to China and so there can be no fear of the question ever being made a cause of war Japan will adhere to the policy of the preservation of China's integrity and of the open. door principle. The partition of China is what the Japa nese have been dreading for many
 
 years, but. as a result of the great war this apprehension has been completely removed. If America pur- sues a peaceful policy toward China and contrives for the improvement of her internal administration and the development of her natural re- sources in concert with other coun- tries there can be no reason why the United States should come into col lision with Japan.
 He concludes Americans suspect Japanese designs in China, while the Japanese entertain similar suspicious toward America and if these sus- picions on both sides can be re- moved there will be no reason why the two countries would go to war on account of China"

Necessary Thing Is for Coun. tries to Exchange Views
 Fully Frankly.

TOKYO, Aug 4.-Baron Sakatani, vice president of the America Japan Society and member of the House Of Peers, writing in the Asahi, says that as a practical political question the views of the Japanese and Amer ican governments on the immigra- tion question are in accord since the United States does not desire the increase of Japanese immigrants, while Japan. in compliance with the terms of the "Gentlemans Agree. ment," is not sending immigrants to America.
 He expressed the opinion that the principal reason why America does not desire an increase of Japanese immigrants, is that the Japanese are industrious workers and formidable competitors of Americans and not because, they are an inferior race, In other words, the American oppo- sition to Japanese immigration is economic as well as social, to which a small percentage of racial preju dice may be added. He believed that it is hardly conceivable that dis crimination in America against a comparatively small number of Japa- nese should be made casus belli between Japan and America.
 As to the Yap question, the Baron says no sane right-thinking people will ever think of Tap becoming a serious bone of contention between the two countries and there will be no difficulty in finding solution fl Japan and the United States ex change their views fully and frankly
