plain Situation To Home Cabinet

TOKYO, May 27.-It is expected
that the cabinet will draft Wednesday
a formal protest against the American
exclusion of japanese.
Ambassador Hanihara will son re-
turn to Japan to explain the situation
whcih has come to climax with
President sCOoIdge's signature of the
immigration bill barring citizens of
Japan from American shores.
Foreign Minister Matsui, in making
this announcement Tuesday insisted that
Hanihara was not being recalled, but
that the ambassador was merely COM
ing home so that the government might
learn from him the facts of the Ameri-
can attitude and the reasons for the
exclusion act.
The government manifests little con-
Germ over the situation, but sections Of
the Japanese press are bitterly resent
full over the enactment Of the exclusion
law.
Meanwhile, the foreign office denies
reports that either 1t or the privy coun-
ell has any intention Of bringing the i'm
migration question before the League of
Nations

I LONDON, May 27.--Grindell Mat
thews, English inventor, has given the
British government three days to ac-
cept or reject his death ray" and has
crossed the channel to negotiate for the
sale of the invention in France.

ultimatum that he must have Britain's
answer by Friday.
Meanwhile the high courts here have
granted an injunction prohibiting him
from selling the death ray" before Fri
day without consent of an English
group which claims 81 per cent owner
ship in the invention.
The writ was secured by Col. G. s.

Sanborne. Interviewed Tuesday, Grub
bins declared that the death ray" was
the most terrible invention of recent
years, and that no country could hope
to fight an enemy armed with such
devastating weapon.
It is expected that a full statement
on the death ray" will be made in the
House of Commons Wednesday.
