TOXIC CABINET IN
DEFIANT ATTITUDE
Stands Pat On zap Man
date Policy, News
papers State.

Toxic, April 20.-The Cabinet
yesterday decided there was no rea.
son to alter Japan's policy on the Yar
mandate question because of the re-
cent American note on the subject
according to the Nichi Nichi today
The decision of the Ministry will
be reported Friday at an extraordi-
nary meeting of the Diplomatic Ad-
visory Council, the newspaper adds.
The Foreign Office said it could
neither confirm nor deny the forego-
ing report.
The Government deemed it wise
not to make any statement or COM
ment on the zap question beyond
what has been, or will be, published
by mutual understanding between the
Japanese and American Governments
Foreign Office officials declared.
Publication locally of the corre-
spondence on the question of man
dates has been followed by change
of tone in the japanese newspapers,
which generally consider the Ameri-
can attitude unreasonable.
The summary of the comment is
that the United States claims the
right Of veto over the decisions of the
Allies in connection with the war with
Germany and that Japan cannot reply
to such claim, which must come be-
fore the Allied Supreme Council, of
which Japan is a member.
If the Powers decide to yield to
American inslstence on the exclu-
sion of zap from the Japanese man
date, the commentators say, Japan
would be forced to bow
to such a decision.
Meantime the newspapers believe
it likely Japan is reminding her Allies
of the original agreement made prior
to the entry of the United States into
the war, under which Japan was to
receive the Pacific islands north of
the equator. and also of the fact that
Japan abandoned important desires
during the Peace Conference in the
of harmony.

HUGHES QUOTED
WRONG IN PRESS
Secretary Denies He Made
Statements Ascribed
To Him.

Washington, April 20. A forma
statement issued today by the State
Department said Secretary Hughes
did not make and did not intend
to make any recommendation what.
ever regarding immigration" in
transmitting to Congress, reports
from American government agents
abroad dealing with the movement OF
emigrants to the United States.
1t was stated in an Associated Press
dispatch last night that Mr.. Hughes
had made such recommendation and
he also was quoted as saying that
'our restriction on immigration
should be 30 rigid that it would be
impossible for most of these people
to enter the United States" refer
ehce being made especially TO Ar
menians, Jews, Persians and Rus
slams"
As a matter of fact that quotation
appeared f. paraphrase of report
from the American consul at Tlflis
relating to people in that district
which was among a number of SINH
lar reports transmitted to the House
and Senate immigration committees
by Mr.. Hughes after Chairman John
son, of the House committee, had ask
ed for Information on the subject.
Publication of extracts from the
government reports was the subject
of discussion today in the House.
Representative Chandler, Republican,
New York, who formerly was counsel
in the United States for Letvia and
Lithuania took exception to an Of
fetal government report which said
that Let's and -Lithuanians seeking
to leave for the United States were
largely people from the slums, the
vastfmajority of them "Jews Of the
undesirable type" He declared that
whoever made that report "comnuni-
Gated to this government that which
is absolutely false"
Il do not believe that Mr.. Hughes
this or any similar report
said Mr.. Chandler. ut came from
abroad. Mr.. Hughes is too big and
to consent to anything
of that kind"
Chairman johnson said he thought
.dr. Hughes had read all Of the re-
ports before sending them t. Con-
gress and that he knew that he had
signed the letter of transmittal
Representative siegel, Republican.
New York, interrupted to say that
Mr.. Hughes signed the letter in the
usual couTs
IJr. Johnson said If there was to
be a dispute about the matter, he
would send to the State Department
for all of the reports, but that he
thought it would be bad Judgment to
do so.
Mr.. Chandler agreed with him and
the discussion was closed.
