BY the Associated Press.

Toxic. April 17.-Dissatisfaction in
high official circles with Ambassador
Hanihara's handling of the immigra-
ton situation at Washington is re-
ported by the vernaculars in their
editions of Wednesday. Other Japan
csc ambassadors are said to have raj
lied to the support of the Washing
ton envoy and will oppose any possi-
BILE efforts to make him the scapegoat
of the exclusion fiasco.
The Hochi editorially terms the at
titude Of the Japanese foreign office
"invertible. The Kokumin frankly
states Ambassador Hanihara's letter
fully, represents what the japanese
nation wants to say
While it is officially denied there
is any difference between the views
Of Toxic and Hanihara, it is admitted
that considerable annoyance" is felt
regarding the ambassadors use of the
phrase grave consequences.
Editorials of the morning newspa-
pers, written prior to the news of the
Senate's acceptance of exclusion act,
were markedly moderate in tone. AL
though they admitted the probability
of the Senate voting for exclusion,
they were of the opinion that Presi-
dent Coolidge will veto the legisla-
ton.
To Discuss Situation.
Numerous bodies, including the As
ISOLATED Chambers of Commerce Of
Japan, the American Japan Society
and the Japan Economic Society, have
called urgent meetings to discuss the
immigration situation.
Officials do not deny the probabili-
ties of unpleasant popular reactions,
and it is fully expected that the oppo-
sition will make all possible political
capital from the governments immi-
grafton defeat. The action of Con-
gress comes as a blow in the heat

Japan Has immigration
Problem of Its Gum;
Bar Chinese Laborers
Rr the Associated press.

Toxic, April 17.-Japan, the
emigration of whose nationals con-
stitutes such n thorny problem for
the United Stetes, is having immi-
grafton problems of her own.
Just as japanese laborers are
barred from America, Chinese la
borers are barred from Japan. Ger
tain classes of Chinese, however.
are permitted to immigrate. Two
years ago Japan was inundated by
a flood Of Chinese umbrella ped
dlers, most of whom, according to
Japanese police, entered japan as
merchants, but later became man
ual laborers. Now the trouble is
with cooks. Cooks hitherto have
been admitted. Police say that
many who enter as cooks have
later become coolies. The Metro
politan police of Toxic are con-
centrating for a roundup Of Chi
nese cooks for deportation.

Bank Clearings

The bank clearings of Ell
Centro tell the same story of
prosperity that is told by ev-
cry other reliable agency that
may be consulted. The growth
for this year may almost be
said to be phenomenal. At any
rate they have made sudden
and startling advance.
Unfortunately no record is
obtainable back Of April, 1928,
so a month by4month, year-by-
year comparison canhot be made,
except for a short period cover
ing six months.
The total clearings for the
nine months following April
last year was $22, ,638,636. At
this rate for the whole year the
total would have been $3O,184,-
863. The first nine months Of
this year showed a total of
$27,849,929. At the same rate
for the remainder of the year,
1924 will close with the signifi-
cant total Of $37, 7,133,137. The
increase for this year over last
year will therefore be 23 per-
