RACE PREJUDICE. JAPANESE STATESMAN'S VIEW. New York, March 19. Viscount Ishii, in a speech to the Japan Society, said that the constitution of the League of .Nations would be worthy of a great world conference if it admitted a provision remedying the conspicuous injustice arising out of race prejudice. He expressed the opinion that nothing would contribute more towards attaining a permanent world peace than the inclusion of such a provision. He said that, in order to prevent misunderstanding, the question of racial distinction should be considered independently of the question of labor or immigration? Japan would calmly, patiently and wisely await the time when, by a gradual process of Japanese immigration would be settled to the mutual satisfaction of the United States and Japan. Viscount Ishii said that in the meantime Japan would continue the policy of strict, 'self-imposed, restriction of labor emigrants. Nothing would bo .further from Japan's thought than hastily to force the issue of labor, even if an article against racial discrimination be inserted in the League of Nations covenant. —Aus.-N.Z.
