AMERICA AND JAPAN
THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION. A PLACATORY SPEECH. Frees Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, January 10. (Received Jan. 12, at 0.10 a.m.) Speaking at Cambridge, in Massachusetts, Mr T. W. Lament, head of the American banking group of the Chinese Consortium, said that even the perplexing Japanese immigration question was susceptible of an amicable settlement. If the Americans showed a tact_ and respect for the Japanese susceptibilities it would seem certain that with any ingenuity at all they should be able to devise a formula which would meet the views of California and satisfy Japan. The American people had not intelligent understanding of the Japanese. “We are apt to condemn Japan,” he added, “because the military party is powerful, whereas the people are as peace-loving as the Americans.” IRRECONCILABLE CALIFORNIA. NEW YORK, JanuaTv 10. (Received Jan. 12, at 0.10 a.m.) The Californian Legislature unanimously adopted a resolution asking that no treaty be made with Japan granting citizenship to Japanese residents or nullifying the provisions of the anti-Japanese law.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
