lost consciousness, the belts
pulled apart and the victim
dropped to the ground. Con-

alleged, moved to Washington from
other towns as recently as two
weeks ago in response to ma
tional poster campaign sent out
by the Government Printing Office.
In addition. a number Of printers
have left Washington for other
cities in an attempt to find work,
leaving their families dependent
upon the slender allowance Of the
union.
A protest against the treatment
received by ex-service men at the
hands OF the Public Printer was
sent to the White House today by
william Homer Carroll. department

MUST TAKE
UP FIVE
ISSUES
Exclusion, Arms Farley, Soviet
Pact, China, and Land
Law Need Settlement
BY LLOYD LEHRBAS.

Diplomatic relations between
Japan and the United States will
enter into q new and interesting
phase tomorrow with the arrival
in Washington Of Tsuneo Matsu-
daira. Japan's new ambassador to
the United States.
Ambassador Matsudaira comes
direct from the foreign office,
where he has been vice minister,
to find Secretary of State Kellogg
officiating where Mr.. Charles
Evans Hughes officiated during
the Interchange of notes concern
ing the immigration question. As
both are new" men they will APP
preach several important ques-
tons which have hung over from
the Hughes regime from q fresh
viewpoint.
Five Major Issues.
Mr.. Matsudaira's discussions with
Secretary Kellogg will revoIve
around the following issues:
Final settlement Of questions aris-
ing out Of the Japanese exclusion
act.
Japan's attitude towa-d President
Colleges announced intention Of
calling another armament confer.
ence.
Discussion Of the recently con-
all T@w Snv1
treaty and the effect Of the treaty's
provisions on American interests in
the Far East:
Cooperation between Japan and
the United States with regard to
Chinese conditions.
Anicalble Interpretation # the
new alien land law in Japan.
Retaliation Feared.
Dispatches from Tokyo have car
Tied threats that the new Japanese
land ownership law would be used
as a means Of discriminating
against some American States be.
cause those states have anti-alien
land laws. The new ambassador
viii have this question to deal with
almost Immediately.
Ambassador Matgudaira Ia ex-
pected to inform President Coolidge
that the Japanese government
strongly favors the calling OF an.
other armament conference and will
cooperate with the washington
Government with the same degree
Of friendliness that marked Japa-
nese support at the recent opium
conference at Geneva, when the
two nations came closer together
automatically than they have for
years.
Soviet Problem Delicate.
As the United States does not
recognize Soviet Russia the Ques-
ton Of the Russo-Japanese treaty
will very probably prove one of
the most delicate which is to be
discussed. A feeling is held here
that American relations with Rus
STA win undergo changes under the
regime of Secretary Kellogg, and
the official Japanese Interpretation
Of the treaty and its effect upon
American interests in the Orient
will unquestionably have an effect
on the trend such relations will
take.
Ambassador Matsudaira is ex.
pected to make his official calls on
President Coolidge and Secretary
Kellogg on Friday or Saturday.
