CALIFORNIA AND JAPAN.
AN ECONOMIC ISSUE. MISCHIEVOUS AGITATION. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 11.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. Mr. Kahn, a Californian member, addressing the House of Representatives, said that the people of the Pacific Coast objected only to large numbers of Japanese labourers entering their States. They had no objection to the immigration of Japanese professional men, financiers and students. The question was not one of racial prejudice. Mr. Kahn declared that Japanese-American relations were kept unsettled by Japanese agitators seeking to stir up hatred of the United States. He uttered the warning that continued agitation might lead to war.
