TrueSpirit of Japan's Cherry Tree Gift
To Our Country Told by YukiO Ozaki

of gratitude for the goodwill shown
by the United States in mediating
to bring the war between Japan
I'd Russia to an end.
1t is set down in history that
Japan won the war with Russia. but
it is also fact that owing to the
mediation of the United States. the
peace was concluded on very advan-
tageous terms for Japan. In the
background. there was this large
measure of goodwill by the American
and British people At that time, had
there not been mediation by the
United States, the war would have
ended diSastrously for Japan. The
japanese Government at that time
concealed the true state of warfare
and constantly announced victory
after victory and the japanese peo-
pie were on the crest of the wave
They were, therefore, dissatisfied
with the peace terms and, in Tokyo
alone. there we're many cases OF
buildings set on fire as an expression
of popular disapproval.
Under those circumstances. it was
not practicable to make that express
sion of gratitude which was due the
United States. was constantly
searching my mind for some method
by which the japanese people could
show their thankfulness for this
goodwill shown by the United States
Perhaps this was going beyond the
proper function of the Mayor of the
City of Tokyo but as person who
had long dealt in public affairs,
felt obliged to concern myself tc
carry out this project. Immediately
sent to Washington some cherry
trees as coming from the City Of
Tokyo The formal negotiations were
left to the Foreign Office, but un-

WASHINGTON. D. c., May 27
6ADC)-The McCarran Omnibus bill
tightens deportation procedures ag-
ainst aliens. Edward J. Ennis, JACL
nti-DiScrimination Committee legal
counsel, said today in another inter-
i'm report on the measure.
The bill expressly provides that
the Administration Procedure Act
of 1916, which fOrbids investigators
from also acting as judges, is not
applicable to immigration inspec-
tors.
In addition, it makes a decision
of the Commissioner of immigration
and Naturalization final. and APP
parently contemplates elimination of
the Board of immigration Appeals,
Ennis said. The Commissioner also
is given much greater authority to
detain aliens pending deportation
proceedings anu tAtCubiOll VI blle
order of deportation at the conclu-
sion of any such proceedings.
Ennis said the bill provides further
that no court shall have jurisdiction
to release aliens on bond prior tc
final judicial decision of case taken
to court.
Among other things proposed by
the McCarran bill is that If depOr-
tatiOn of an alien to former
country of his is impracticable,
then he may be depOrted to any
country willing to accept him,
though ne may never have been in
such a country.
In case a country refuses to accep'
back one of its own citizens deportec
from the United States. the Nc
Carran immigration and naturaliza'
ton measure would deny to citizen!

But since Sen. McCarran has
