Japan Holds Key to Solution of
the Public School
Continued Front-page 1+ Column 4
II laborers from Mexico. Carfada and other
j countries. A •week ago the proposition
to pass a Japanese exclusion act would
have been denounced, but a mighty
change may be brought about between
! now and March 4, but.ive are not so
j sangruine as to regard it as probable.
JAP.Of HOLDS KEY
"The statement that the ban Fran
cisco people hold the key to the" sit
uation is all bosh. Japan holds the key
and we don't know what she wants.
The President himself does not know,'
according to what he told us. If^Japan
is willing to make an exclusion treaty
\u25a0without imposing conditions that can
not be accepted, it may be possible to
negotiate a treaty with her. What we
: fear Is that Japan may ask for more
than we can grant. This fear is shared
: by the President and Secretary Root.
li **Viscount Aoki has Intimated that
A'apan will insist upon the insertion of
'^* provision granting to Japanese in the
I I'nited States the rights and privileges
enjoyed by citizens and subjects of the
most favored nations. This may mean,
| from the Japanese point of view, the
• privilege of Japanese children to enter
•the public schools of the States.
"Some of the Senators have told us
that if the proposed treaty contains any
provision like that they will oppose it
5 on the ground that it would be an at
i tempt on the part of the Federal Gov
ernment to usurp control of the public
; schools of the States. In some States
the right of a State to oontrol its public
schools may be regarded as much more
I Important than the exclusion of Japan
ese laborers. We in California are wlll
' ing to waive the smaller point for the
sake of gaining the larger one, but
other States may not see \lt In that
\u25a0light. . \u25a0•)
JAPAN'S ATTITUDE
"On the other hand, if the Govern
• me~t does not insert In the treaty a
provision which insures f-O Japan the
right to send Japanese/ children to
r American public schools it ls"^ very
> doubtful that Japan -would agree to it.
I mean to say that J/apan is somewhat
suspicious on this j>oint and will in
sist on some guarantee from the United
States Government i that no discrimina
: tlon shall be practiced against Japan
ese in this country. The difficulty of
making such a .'guarantee without in
fringing upon tfhe rights of the States
} is a perplexinjrf one.
"If an excision treaty is submitted
to the Senates we propose to work for
its ratification with all ourmight. We
Wer/v^illing to waive our right to ex
l^juiae Japanese from the public schools
"'-and we shall ask other States to do the
same. We believe a majority of the
Senators will agree that , this consti
tutional point can be kept In the back
ground for the sake of removing fric
t*—t in our relations with Japan. Un
: > an agreement is reached* and the
' nese laborers excluded there will
for the coast will not toler
t iiuch longer the influx of 1000 Jap
v.*iese a month. Riot and bloodshed
\u25a0will force the issue. This is not meant
as a threat, but merely as a warning
of what will certainly occur.
nEMAKSEV'G TIME SHORT
. "As soon as the treaty is sent to the
, Senate we will introduce a bill to carry
the treaty into effect. We hope such a
bill can be enacted \u25a0without, long de
bate, but four weeks is a short time In
" •which to consider such legislation. The
chances are against us. If it becomes
apparent tnat an exclusion treaty and
act' cannotVbe passed- by March" 4, we
hope the President will <* lie . able*, to
patch up an agreement : with Japan
whereby Japanese laborers j will be
prohibited by imperial • decree- from
coming to Hawaii and the United
". States.
"If Japan will do that California.
probably \u25a0would be willing to admit
Japanese children of school age into
the public schools. The President may
; be able to show the Japanese that such
\u25a0 an arrangement would prevent trouble
on the Pacific Coast. If the Japanese
" ' wish to show good faith in maintain
j ing friendly relations with us they will
; * have to agree to something of that
. Mnd. If they have other ends in view,
'Ksone of us suspect, the present con
l<«;tion will continue until there is an
explosion.".^ .*.- >£*;

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.— A spjecial cable
from Tokio, Japan, to the Record-Her
ald quotes a leading citizen of Tokio as
eaying todaj':
. The announcement that the American Gorera~
neat bad asked Congress for as appropriation
\u25a0with wbich to fortify Pearl harbor, in the Ha
trsiisn Islands, has b«*n rpcelrcd by the Japa-
J nws* with evident symptoms of pain. It is not
denied that a crest power like America Is per
" fe^tly justified in preparing for the protec
tion of vulnerable points against danger, -but the
Rairatian project is apparently, in direct . re
iponse to the clamor of the Pacific Coast press
concernins Japan* alleged designs on the Ha
waiian Islands and the Philippines and its ag
1 grewive policy in jreneral.
) Japan, it Is feared by many people here, must
t abandon the relation of mutual trust, (such an of
; two friends trbo ere assured of each other's
i good intentions, and Join the common herd of
' satlocs whose motto is that of tlie strong-armed
1 man keeping himself in order. Formerly Japan
j and America were both -for peaceful domestic
\u25a0 development, but recently tliey entered the world 1
I of conflict, and that they no longer regard each
; other with the quiet eyes of peace and trust
poHslbly is unavoidable, but certainly it is la
; deniable.
; This is the general view of the sllua
: .tion taken here, but the Japanese con
;tinue confident that Che San Francisco
( dispute will be settled in an amicable
\u25a0 manner. Tfaey do not .believe -: that
ilaborers wil be mutually excluded by
" both countries and they are surprised
at the unabated war scare which is
affecting the value of Japanese securi
ties abroad.

TOKIO, Feb. 4.— Baron Kaneko, for
merly special envoy ' to , the United
States, In another statement made here,
cay* that war with the United States
is unthinkable. He said:
The Japasese understand America better than
the Americans ooderstaad Japan. A, great mt
30r1t7 of tbe Japanese holding • public positions
cere were educated by American instructors and
hare . long studied . Americas institutions^ . Now,
through th« press and otherwise they are help
ing the people to appreciate the difficulty In
which tbe Federal " Government lies under -the
controlling cction of the . individual States.
Hence, after tbe first phase of. the segregation
question, the people, gained confidence in ..the
eympatty which a great majority of the'Ameri-:
cans »tlll have toward Japan.- •*--"!
Japan's moral system insists tbat a finger shall

owes her position among the powers to America.

to: pay- him; up ''for .'his ""fight, on 'the ad

difference in*'the^Roosevelt;/amllyl. It
involves the political \u25a0 fortunes of no
less a personage' than Representative
Nicholas Longworth, . husband of Alice
Roosevelt, for. 'it is freely discussed
here . that If the appointment is made
by the President it will result in
Longworth'a certain defeat two years
from' now. *
.Ralph Tyler.. a prominent negro Re
publican of . Columbus. Ohio, has been
picked out. by the President; for the
collectorahip of Foraker's home city.
The position pays $5000 a year and
there has been an awful fuss kicked up
since the news was sent to Cincin
nati-that-a negro was". to be Imported
from Columbus for the Job.
The resentment against- such action
by the President is confined to no par
ty lines, and .in Representative 'Long
worth's / district is especially-, bitter.
The . President's son-in-law represents
a part of the most aristocratic section
of. Cincinnati. - They don't .want a negro
Collector. of Customs. He has also the
largest negro vote of any district la
