June IL— There has always .been a. good.; deal; of mystery about the Japanese, immigration amend ment. At the time df. Its /adoption .It was believed generally by members : of congress and" others that it was 'passed with the knowledge and . approval of the Japanese government The : im pression was conveyed that the Jap anese government welcomed the amend ment as a graceful, way of saying fits face " and ..'settling the * /school .con troversy. It was also printed generally that prior. "to the adoption^; 'of 'the amendment It had been submitted to the Japanese government,^ which had fully approved of its terms. The truth is that not only did the Japanese gov ernment not sanction the amendment, but Japan .was not- consulted; by the president, according to the official statement of the foreign minister. After the passage. of the immigration bill Viscount Hayashi, the; minister of foreign affairs, replying to an inter pellation by Mr. Mochlzuki.ln the house of representatives, said that at the end of January he had \ explained that, 'in" view, of the friendly sentiments of the president and the bulk of the American nation toward Japan, an amicable set tlement of the school question seemed imminent. » "At. that time," Viscount Hayashi continued,, "the case was waiting- the decision by the Judiciary, but subse quently the president changed his method and fell back _upon the Tights secured to* the United States by the treaty, . which change of program had not been made a subject of consulta tion with Japan." This was not an agreeable alterna tion from Japan's point of. view, bat the president's analysis of the situa tion was understood to be that all questions at issue in California— the school question, the boycotting of Japa nese restaurants and the assaults upon Japanese subjects — were morally sec ondary troubles which would cease as soon as the prime cause, labor immi gration, was remedied. As to that, however, the president had not consulted Japan. There is conclusive proof that the Japanese gov ernment was not consulted and did not relish the. amendment^-, Under. the.-cir^ cumstahces it will 1 be naturally 'asked why -the- Japanese-government did not protest or make Its position; more gen erally known. i. . v MARVEL AT LEVITY Japanese of City: Regard International Situation as.
