JAPANESE ENVOY
LEAVING TODAY
By United Press Leosed Wire

WASHINGTON, July 11.--Leav-
ing Washington today, Masanao
Hanihara, retiring Japanese ambas'
sador here, returns to his country
convinced that more satisfa ctory
disposition of the Japanese immigra-
tion question must be arranged if
trouble is to be avoided between the
two countries.
Hanihara is not making any state
ment of publication, but the seri-
BUSINESS with which the japanese
people regard the new American ex-
clusion law is shown by the fact that
the ambassador is understood to be-
lieve that although the outward an
ti.American demonstration in his
country soon will end, such a feeling
on the. part of the japanese will
continue under the surface.
Hanihara leaves Washington late
today. He goes direct to San Fran
cisco, where he will sail for Japan
on board the Worea July Is. Off
cially il is said that Hanihara has
not resigned as ambassadors and
that he is returning to Japan ON
leave. However, the understanding
here is that he probably will not re-
turn to Washington as ambassador.
