JAPAN SEEKS TO AVOID
 IMMIGRATION FIGHT
Declare Friendship With America
 Is Japan's Aim

TOKYO. June 15.-So far as the government here is concerned there will be no row with America over the Japanese immigration question.
 That is the effect of official state ments made by high authorities who declare that the whole fabric of Japanese foreign policy is built on friendship with America, and that the Japanese government will do nothing to disrupt that friendship.
 The government, however will at some time in the future" bring up with the American government that general question of the treatment and status of Japanese living in the United States.
 Japan will not seek more liberal laws respecting Japanese immigra- tion, but will, it is understood, mak q protest against unfair and dis criminatory treatment of Japanese already living in America,
 We want Japanese residents to be treated fairly and not subjected to special discrimination" an official declared It's up to America to do as she pleases, of course, about fu- ture mmigration-only we think new immigration regulations should be impartial and not especially ap- piled to Japanese"

ISOLATION

The doctrine of isolation is
being preached by politicians,
but not by statesmen. They
misinterpret and give a wrong
construction to the utterances
of Mr.. Washington, in which
he advised that America in her
inception avoid entangling her.
self with foreign alliances.
The reason Washington gave
that advice was that America
was coming out of England,
breaking aN ny from the mother
country, and could not afford
to be involved in European al
liances with other countries and
thus incur more of the mother 8
prejudice and anger.
1t is absurd to preach such a
doctrine today. We are the
superior power in the world.
We are in the world. We are a
part of the world. And we
must pay our obligations, dis
charge our duties, and take our
place by the side of the other
members that make up the great
world governments.
For us to be Pharisaical and to
go by on the other side is to re-
ceive the contempt of the world.
The world is pleading, the world
is hungry. the world needs MS.
America is responsible for the
worlds condition, which has
been produced during the last
two or three years. Had Amer
