Japanese Enligranis'
Recall From u. s. Is
Rejected by Arita
Suggestion Thot They Be
Used to Exploit Eost
Indies Turned Aside
BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC, Feb. 13.-Foreign Minis
ter Hachiro Arita today turned aside
q suggestion that Japanese emf
grants be recalled from North Amer.
lea to help exploit Hainan, Japal
nese occupied island on China 5
southern coast, and the Netherlands
East Indies.
Arita told Parliament that it was
doubtful whether such q course
could be followed "for fear Of
worsening Japanese American rela-
tions," but that the government
would cooperate with Japanese
emigrants wishing to settle else
where.
Last week Arita said Japan had
no territorial designs on the Neither
lands possessions but wished to ex-
pand her commerce with them.
Large-scale Japanese emigration
to the United States was ended by
the "gentlemen's agreement" Of
1907, but In 1880 the United States
had a Japanese population of about
100000, about hah of them born in
America.
Arita's statement today replied to
a question from Rekichi Kita, men,
Der Of the leading political party
Minseito, whether Japanese would
be recalled to work for "exploita-
ton of the natural resources OF
Hainan and the Netherlands East
Indies"
Sinking Laid to Britain.
Rye Koyama, Rightiest member o1
Parliament, laid responsibility fol
the sinking of the japanese liner
Terukuni Maru last November % al
the door Of Great Britain.
Koyama made his charge in q
heated session of the Lower House
Budget Committee, which also heard
the all-powerful Japanese Army
criticized for the second time in IL
days on the grounds that secrecy
surrounding huge military expendi-
lures is making the people "un.
easy"
The Terukuni Maru went down
of the English coast presumably
after striking mine. Koyama de-
clared that weather conditions al
the time make us doubt that the
mine was laid by German vessels
moreover, it is slear that the Brit
ish admiralty designated the route.
followed by the liner.
Koyama's remarks were part OF
a bitter attack on Foreign Minister
Arita, whom he blamed for "a fail
ure of japanese diplomacy" in con-
nection with the Russian German
non-aggression pact of last August
This pact caught the cabinet o1
Baron Kiichiro Hiranuma by sur.
prise and led to its resignation.
Arita was foreign minister in that
government and was brought bach
to the post by the present Premier
Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai Koyams
said that Arita's return to the for

Mr.. Bondy and Mr.. McReynolds
were the only witnesses called by
Representative Thomas D'Alesandro,
jr., Maryland, chairman of the in
vestigating group, the Public Health
Subcommittee Of the House District
Committee.
Mr.. DAlesandro had originally
planned to have Frank B. Haskell,
superintendent of the Home for the
Aged and Infirm, follow Mr.. Bondy
on the witness stand. Mr.. Haskell,
however, will be called when the
investigation is resumed Thursday
at 10:30 am. The Commissioners
also are to be summoned at that
time.
Proposes General Program.
Aside from discussing conditions
at the Home for the Aged and In
firm, Mr.. Bondy proposed a general
program for improvement in the
welfare setup. His recommends
tions included construction of a new
receiving home for children, and
general extension over three to five
years of the District Training School
to care for all feeble minded in need

institutions it ranges from 20 to Is

since 1885 Congress has appropriated
from one-half to two-thirds of the
money requested by the Board of
Public Welfare. He pointed out that
for the coming fiscal year the board
requested 1894 800 and the budget
Bureau recommended $161 800.

Chinook Winds

The chinook is a wind which blows
from west or north over the Rocky
mountains, where it descends as a
dry wind, warm in winter and cool
in summer. It is due to a cyclone
passing northward and continues for
a few hours to several days. In
Oregon and Washington the term is
sometimes applied to warm, moist
southwest wind. The wind was so
called by the white settlers of AS
toria because it came from the di-
rection of the Chinook camp.
