SHOWS THAT JAPAN DID
NOT SANCTION MEASURE
Mystery as to Jnunigration
Amendment Is Cleared
by Statement
- * \u25a0
TREATY IS OBSERVED
Viscount Hayashi Declares
That Rposeyelt Changed - '
' Tentative Policy :J: J
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
\u25a0WASHINGTON. 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

Notwithstanding the. Washington dis

State sovereignty. In its literal sense,
is virtually unknown in Japan, and the
mass of the Japanese people here is
unable to understand why the . federal
government does not take hold of the

matter' and regards' lt an one falling

The consensus of legal opinion holds
that* lf the Japanese restaurant keepers
want redress they will have 'to seek it
through tbe stat-j courts. San Francisco
can bo sued for damages, and should
the damages* be' proved and the city
fail to make restitution, the Japanese
could then appeal ' to congress. : It •is

He and those who should be Interested
in the boulevard are not showing' the

"The boulevard is not being built

a road that never could. be kept in con
dition for private vehicles, - '_-\u25a0 ;
: '/The road is .not completed at the

been lacking enough /.money. When
the; . scheme .was . first . started bids
were put In' costing : about $31,

up to almost the desired amount
necessary. \u25a0•-.• Up Vto that time .' we
had understood from the \u25a0- supervisors
that they/ would" look out for the city
end of the road. But what did they do?
They only gave us $17,600. -The' city
engineer figured: out that it would' cost
at least .$27,500. Here we > were again
short $10,000* Prior to this time the
committee had Nineteenth avenue de
clared a boulevard. : While. we were try
ingto get more money to finish out the
city end the Parkside people came along
and wanted 'the' boulevard changed" to
Twentieth avenue. V:.' ./ . " .
"This the. committee objected to and
a compromise : was , made |by which th"c
Parkside people promised to build the
main boulevard from the great 'high
way south to v the county line if the
change was made 'on Nineteenth
nue. .They . were to " take over .*; the
$17,500 from the city and build -the
whole- road.' The,- course .Was changed
from that ' which': xao- f in 'the hollow,
toward Ingleslde toVthe -top of.the
ridge along the edge' of . the Parkside
property. 'I. Frorn^. the conditions in the
city at the present time I cannot say
just what the Parkside people are go
ing \ to do. ! 'They: have ; graded : off the.
