THE JAPANESE POSITION ON IMMIGRATION A TOKYO dispatch printed in these columns . on Monday gives the history and genesis of recent action by the Japanese government for the exclusion of alien laborers- imported from China for railroad construction. . The dispatch says: T n accordance with the requirements of a law enacted on the demand of the guilds the officials were forced to order the contractors to discharge the Chinese, citing special regulations promulgated when Count Okuma was for eign minister under which aliens, even after their admission had been suffi c'ially authorized, might be expelled by the local authorities. The law was enacted at the time of the negotiation of the American treaty, in practical application of the treaty provision, according the government full control over foreign laborers. Count Okuma, the author of *this legislation, is the ; man responsible for most of the present Japanese agitation concerning the treatment of his countrymen in America. Okuma was foreign minister at the time our existing treaty with Japan was negotiated. That treaty gives us power to deal with Japanese immigration as we may see fit, whether by exclusion or regulation. It is asserted that when a new treaty is made Japan will demand -the abrogation of this provision. Xo such demand can be granted or will be considered for a moment. This nation will insist on retaining the right to regulate its internal affairs, and the admission of immigrants is one of the rrcost important of these rights. Apparently, Japan' asserts a similar right when it excludes Chinese coolies because they work for lower wages than the Japanese. ' . The Japanese position in this matter is clearly stated in . the T.kyo correspondence of the New York Evening Post, a paper of strong pro- Japanese leanings. We quote: r The United States admits immigrants from Europe and refuses admis sion to those from Japan. The Japanese regard this not only as unfair in itself, but as a contravention, in spirit at least, of the most favored nation clause of their treaty with the United States, in which the latter guarantees to Japanese subjects equal treatment with that accorded' the subjects of all other countries. The Japanese cannot well refrain from viewing this as an aspersion on their nationality, and consequently, will never be satisfied until this discriminatory - treatment is either removed or satisfactorily explained. In the hope of gaining the former, they do not yet press for the latter alter native. Such a course would only tend to make the situation worse. They venture to think that by keeping up an agitation the removal of the disabili ties will preclude the necessity of asking for an explanation. They are trusting America to see the point and take steps to ; avoid the need "of facing it. This question will have to be faced, if not now, at least when the new treaty is being arranged for a year or so hence. If such interpretation of the most favored nation clause is insisted on, that provision cannot be included in the new j treaty. This government will not relinquish its right to exclude Asiatic immigration. That is positive. It is quite evident already that substantially . the same ques tion must very shortly be raised between England and Japan because of: the action of British colonies. Australian. exclusion laws are far more strict than any of those enacted in this country, and at Vancouver, B. C, race riots are threatened as the result of large importations of Asiatics. As between the white and yellow nations the most favored nation clause has become impossible tinder modern conditions. SCHMITZ AND THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC HERBERT C. THOMPSON, writing from San Francisco in the Boston Transcript, describes an interview with Schmitz, and remarks that this sojournerin the county jail appears serene, imperturbable and confident. As reason for this frame of mind the writer adds: "They say Harriman has prom ised him freedom in the supreme court and union labor will vindi cate him at the polls." These are odious slanders both. The state supreme court is not dominated by Harriman and there will be no stretching of the law to give release to convicted criminals out of friendship for Southern" Pacific influences. The other slander as. to union labor is already refuted. There will be no vindication of Schmitz at the polls. The discovery has been made that he is not at all "the ideal candidate," and that, in fact, he is the impossible candidate. The sense of decency revolts at the idea of putting a convicted felon at the head of the ticket. » t Idle gossip of this kind spread broadcast at the east does grave injustice to California. It presents us as a. community .'rotten -'from top to bottom. We think better of Mr. Ham man than to believe, • that he would seek to sway the deliberations, of the state's highest tribunal; we think better of the supreme court than to believe that Mr. Harriman could influence it, if he would. • The same writer in the Boston* paper says that Harriman has promised to give Schmitz an important place- in railroad employ, as soon as he is free. This appears to be i another exercise of the gift of prophecy, looking even farther ahead. It is likely to be a long time before Schmitz has completed his term of service for the state of California, and if he should be convicted on some of the other indictments he will be a very old man before he can take up. a railroad job. Quite possibly, some such assurances relative to immunity or rescue and future employment have been .conveyed to 'Schmitz on behalf of W. F. Herrin to keep him happy. /It may be just^ as .well to "jolly^ the prisoner along, because; if Schmitz 'should; turn 'ugly he might relate some very awkward : facts; -The mside history, for, instance, of the. convicted^mayor's. mission ;to:SaritaCruz during the* convention last year vvou!& make interesting ; readirig, and "this EDITORIAL PAGE was only one of the minor affairs in which Schmitz was con cerned with Southern Pacific, politicians.

O'Connor made one of the seconding speeches for Lane and won the crowd by the following neatly turned sentence: "The republican party, having eyes that see not and ears that hear not, "did well in nominating an eye and ear special ist for, governor."
