JAPAN NOT Sending
immigrants HERE
Two Countries in Accord; Oh
serving Gentlenlen's Agreement

Toxic, July 27-Baron Sakatan:,
ice president of the American Japan
Society and member of the House OF
Peers, writing in the Asahi' says that
as practical political question the
VIEWS of the japanese and American
governments on the immigration ques-
ton are in accord since the United
States does not desire the increase OF
japanese immigrants, while japan, in
compliance with the terms of the
.Gentlemen's Agreement" is not
sending immigrants to America.
He expressed the opinion that thu
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 be-
cause they are an inferior race. In
other words, the American opposition
20 japanese immigration is economic
as we'll as social to which small per-
centage of racial prejudice may be
ADDED He believed that it is hardly
conceivable that discrimination in
America against a comparatively
made casus belli between Japan AMI
America.
AS to the zap question the Baron
says no sane right-thinking people
will ever think of zap becoming a
serious bone of contention between
the two countries and there will be no
difficulty in finding a solution #
Japan and the United States exchange
their views fully and frankly.
It is true that the Korean question
,%oi~ vi
cans with considerable enthusiasm but
after all it being an internal problem,
IT is not of such a nature as to call f5s
| the interference of an outsider, he
, concluded Since the outbreak of the
| riots in Korea in 1919 the jar" nese
government has been introduc' & re-
forms in the administration of the
| peninsula so as to conform with the
American ideas Of good administra-
ton. 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
ca be no fear of the question ever be-
| ing made a cause Of war. Japan will
adhere to the policy of the preserva-
1 lion of China's integrity and Of the
| open door principle. The partition OF
! China is what the Japanese have
been dreading for many years but as
result of the great war this apprehen-
sion has been completely removed. If
America pursues a peaceful policy to-
| ward China and contrives for the i'm
provement of her internal administra-
teal resources in concert with other
countries there can be no reason why
the United States should come into
collision with Japan.
He concludes: americans suspect
Japanese designs in China, while the
Japanese entertain siilar suspicious
| toward America and if these suspic-
| cons on both sides can be remove
there will be no reason why the two
countries would go to war on account
| of China

the Pontiff's appeal. THE misery is so
