NAL that he intended 70 threaten
the United States when ne told Sec
retary Of State Hughes that grave
consequence would follow the pas
sage of the Japanese exclusion act
has been made by Masanao HanihaFa.
japanese ambassador to the United
States.
This was disclosed tonight when the
State department made public an ex-
change of letters between the ambas-
sador and Secretary Hughes In which
Japan's representative said his use
of the phrase had been misconstrued
him. In reply. that the State depart.
ment understood his meaning even II
the senate did not.
Hanihara's letter Of explanation. or
apology. was written on Thursday.
the day after the senate had unani-
mously voted the japanese exclusion
provision into the immigration bill.
Hanihara Criticized.
This action by the senate followed
some hours of debate In which the
Japanese ambassador was roundly
criticized by republicans and demo-
Gratis alike for what was termed his
Insulting letter" Senator Lodge
said Haniharas letter at best was "a
yeiled threat" and Senator Moses. re-

In his letter. Ambassador Hanihars
said he was unable TO understand
how the senate could have construed
