AMERICAN ITEMS.
(Reuter’s Telegram.) JAPANESE STATEMENT. TQKIO, Nov. 15. Count Okuma in a speech, strongly pointed out that hitherto Japanese immigration bad been restricted under a voluntary agreement. The present efforts to make the restrictions statutory was an act of infidelity to Japan-ese-Anierican friendship. The Government at Washington would bo able, he said, to stop tho Californian measures of hostility by enlisting the public opinion of the whole country. Only force xemaiued, he declared, if Japan’s appeals to America’s sense of international morality faded. Japan sincerely desired to see .a solution of this problem, fearing otherwise that the question would lead to an outburst of self-sacrificing patriotism for which the Japanese people were noted.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. M. Shidehara (Japan) and Mr Morris (American Ambassador) h.a,ve completed a draft of a proposed Japanese American treaty, which is now ready for submission to their respective Governments.
