Conflicting opinions of both Amerl
ean and Japanoso authorities on in
tornatonal law are said to have made
the task of the state department of
ficials and the Japanese ambassador
mbrs difficult. Propont nts of the Cal

that state would be refusing to the

are not refused by Japanese law to

J IPANESE l J AYS.
Japtin contends that the Ccillfornla
law. which is to be voted on In No

does not apply to all foreigners alike,
as does the- Japanese law. The sug
Besilon has been made in Toklo that
after the law has b' n I naeted It be

"The first official act of this adinln-

more than a year, government com

adequate that many men were sub-
