10 VISCOUNT KATO HEADS i NEW TOKIO CABINET 1. 5 Accepts Command of Prince Regent to Form Government to Succeed Kiyoura. HAKES TENTATIVE LIST Shidehara Considered for Foreign Minister. Br the A»MCi«t<“d Press. TOKIO, June 9. —Viscount Taka akira Kato tonight accepted the com mand of Prince Recent Hirohito to form a new cabinet, asking, however, that he be given a few days. His ministry will succeed that of former Premier Kiego Kiyoura, and will be « coalition affair, according to the vernacular newspapers. The tentative line-up of depart mental ministers, as forecast by the press, includes two members of the Seiyukai party, which is considered as absolute master of the Diet; one member of the Kakushin (reform) Club, and otfier ministers drawn from the Kenseikai party, of which Premier Kato is the leader, except in thd foreign office and the war and oavy departments. It is considered probable that Sinister of War Ugaki will be the only holdover from the Kiyoura cabinet who will find a place in Premier Kato's ministry. Former Envoy* Mentioned. Baron K. Shidehara, former am bassador to the United States, and Viscount Kikujiro Ishii. former minis ter to Paris and special envoy to the United States in 1917 when the famous Ishii-Lansing agreement was signed, are considered the likeliest candidates for the foreign office portfolio. It is believed in some quarters, however, that Baron Keishlro Matsui, who held the post under Premier Kiyoura, may retain his position. Premier Kato conferred last night with Baron Shidehara. It is under stood that if the latter does not take the foreign office, he will return to Washington the Japanese ambassa dor. Close family connections be tween the new premier and Baron Shidehara, who married sisters, is dbnsidered a strong reason which may clause the latter to decide not to en ter the cabinet. His inclusion in the new cabinet, it is feared, em barrass the premier and provide a basis for the charge that the cabinet was under the control of the Iwasaki .interests, which are linked with the powerful Mitsubishi Company, one of the largest concerns in Japan. Mes dames Kato and Shidehara are daughters of Baron Iwaski, who is director of the Mitsubishi Company. Consult* Other Leader*. On leaving the imperial palace, where the regent commanded him to form a new cabinet. Viscount Kore kiyo Takahashl and Ki Inukai, lead ers, respectively, of the Seiyukai party and Kakushin Club, whorri he consulted regarding the formation of the ministry. The. prince regent previously had refused to accept the resignation of the Kiyoura government, deferring such acceptance until the selection of a successor, in accordance with Jap anese tradition. An imperial messenger consulted with Prince Saionji. the elder states man. yesterday. Viscount Kato at one time served under Prince Saionji as a cabinet member and it was con sidered as a foregone conclusion that Saionji’s dictum would assure selec tion of Kato as the new premier.

JAPAN STILL OBSERVING GENTLEMEN’S AGREEMENT Bushing Natives to TJ. S. Before Exclusion Law Becomes Effec tive Held Not a Violation. By the A«*ocl»t?d Press. TOKIO, June 9. —Commenting on the government subsidy of ships rushing Japanese to America before the exclusion law becomes effective, officials pointed out today that Japan still is observing the "gentlemen’s agreement” with the United States and that all Japanese who will enter the United States before the exclu sion measure goes into effect are en titled to do so under the arrange ment. The government is not attempting to aid an unwarranted immigration to America, they declared. Japan will continue to observe the "gentlemen’s agreement" until it is formally de nounced, the spokesmen asserted. Reports in the vernacular press that the United States has protested against the subsidizing of ships to carry the immigrants to America were denied at the foreign office and the American embassy.

"It Is a mani festation of a racial struggle- which, unless carefully handled, may re plunge the world into bloodshed.” The Daily Mall expresses satisfac tion that the relations of the two countries have not yet been strained beyond the point where the trouble can be mended. The- Dally Express thinks It would be the grossest folly to minimize the possibility of a sudden and malignant expansion of such demonstrations as that in Tokio. It urges the United States to attempt to bridge the dif ferences by frank discussion with Japan, and advises Japan to con demn the demonstration and take evesy step to prevent its recurrence. The diplomatic correspondent of the Dally Telegraph says the inci dent in Tokio has added to the gen eral and increasing anxiety In diplo matic circles, and expresses fear over the outcome. FIGHT U.
