“IN FRIENDLY TERMS.”

Japan’s Note to U.S.A. EXCLUSION STRONGLY RESENTED. By Cable —Press Association —Copyright. Resented 7.40 p.m., June 27. NEW YORK, June 26. The Tokio correspondent of the “New York Times,” says that Cabinet approved a new Note, which will be despatched to the United States, concerning the exclusion. The message will be short and couched in most friendly terms. It will aim to close the correspondence for the time being, since it is felt that a further exchange of views is not probable during the present Congress. The Note will indicate that Japan cannot consider Mr Hughes’s reply as satisfactory, but will not elaborate this view, nor question further the exclusion legality, with reference to the Japanese-American Treaty of Commerce and Navigation. The document concludes that the immigration law remains an open question, Japan reserving the right to resume consideration at a later date. Popular protest meetings are being planned for Ist July throughout the country. The Diet will also adopt a resolution condemning the law.
