Anti Jap Agitation Traced to Source

r mess
Washington Feb 3 No single
question nor indeed any group of
questions Is absorbing the interest
and concern of the administration at
thfc moment to the same extent as
certain of the phases of the anti
Japanese agitation in California The
president has been Jn communication
1 with many reputable persons who
i whoj
the conditions on the Pacific coast
jIIt
It is admitted that a systematic agi
1 tation was in progress on the coast
but a significant feature of its lack
of strength was the fact that the la
bor leaders had taken no prominent
part in it Indeed it has been stated
to the administration that the real
mainspring of the agitation was to be
found in some of the great corpora
tions tha had found their profitable
business of coolie transportation
threatened with destruction by the
success attending the efforts of the
administration to stop tais class of
Immigration For the fact is that in
the opinion of the administration the
neggtiations wth Japan fora practi
cally complete closure of American
ports to the entry of Japanese lobor
ers are certainly jeopardized by the
extreme utterances of certain persons
in California and by the mere consid
Ileratlon of such resolutions as were
entertained by the Nevada legisla
ture
Even agreements lready reached
which are being carried out in per
perfect
Japanese government are endangered
in the sense that the present agita
tion might very naturally tend to
t abate the interest of the Japanese of
j ficials in the execution of their obli
gations in view of the unfriendly atti
tude assumed by some elements on
the pacific coast It is these ceased
erations that have influenced the
president in reaching the conclusion
that everything possible should be
done to prevent the enactment of
Legislation by any state that would
discriminate against the Japanese as
a class apart from other foreign ele
ments entering America
There is no objection whatever by
the administration to laws prohibiting
all aliens from holding land in Amer
ica For this is now under the re
vise statutes the law in the district
of Columbia and the territories and
some of the states Indeed there is
a similar law in Japan and the gov
ern ent of that country consequently
could not regard it as antiJapanese
legislation if adopted in California
confidencet
t In the people of the Pacific coast and
la certain they will do right in this
matter
The administration is much pleased
with the tone of the speech of Pre
1rriier Komura in the Japanese diet so
far as it touched upon the relations
b tween America and Japan
