CALIFORNIA, WASHINGTON AND OREGON DIFFER IN REGARD TO
 JAPANESE IMMIGRATION ISSUE

accorded to aliens coming from the, most favored country"
 This does not mean" the gifted son of Nippon told me. 'that they should necessarily be granted citizen ship. Japan will not ask for 1t if no state intentionally attempts to dis criminate against the Japanese under guise of legislating against all aliens
 Three Exceptions
 Japan" he went on, must. on her part, agree to stop her subjects from emigrating to America. with these three exceptions:
 'Resularly established independent Japanese business men of agriculttr- alists who were married before they left Japan. should be allowed to send for their wives. or to be allowed to return to Japan and marry and bring their wives back with them. within a reasonable time. Second, Japanese children of a certain age, say up to 13 or 14, should be allowed to join their parents regularly established in this country. and upon whom they de- pend for support. Third, Japanese lawfully admitted to this country and with domicfle established, should be allowed to visit Japan and return within a reasonable tune.
 Spreckies' Views
 Rudolph Spreckles of San Francis co. one of the ablest thinkers on the coast and a great progressive. agrees with the Commonwealth Club as to the control of all immigration from whatever country and believes with his state in drastic measures against the Japanese.
 Lyman J. Cage, former secretary of the treasury. takes the opposite view.
 "There are no differences between the United States and Japan. he told me at the Cuyamaca Club in san Diego. which cannot be settled in 1 friendly way"
 Deploring the agitation in Califor- ia. he continued:, "California should not be afraid ot the Japanese who constitute only Z.Z | of her total population. Taking the I land from them drives them to the cities at. time when our food sup ply is not keeping up with our in crease in population. Japanese tarm- ! CTS last year raised S67.o00.0O0 worth of food. Why expel them from the 1 farms when we are not producing enough to feed our own people? What California wants is not policy of le- gal persecution leveled against Japa- nese now here. but an immigration policy which will protect the state against a further influx of oriental labor"
 | Real Problem
 I A congressional investigating com
 mittee could fill volumes with strong ilV voiced opinions were such body | to take the time to journey up and down the Pacific coast. It would get
 an earful of honest convictions, pro and con; and then an earful Of pro lpaganda. both ways; and yet again Y with political dope, for be it known the Japsuese problem has become q profitable subject in many bailt wick out here.
 But it wuold carry away this inn pression if it took away nothing else: II There IS kJapanese problem out lhere of size and a significance not Il appreciated in the east and least or all in Washington And this problem must be got out of the way before it becomes real sore and testers and ithe peace O. the world disturbed. l have found that where there are but few Japanese they are invariably liked but where they are "colonized' lin large numbers and in direct con- al petition with Americans, there is frfc- ltion and bad feelinC. Be right and lwrong where they may there is no , ldisguising the fact the friction is f there. and if Japan and the United iStates wish to remain good friends, 3 the diplomats of Washington and | Tokyo must open up way to per s ulauent adjustment.
