Mikade and Mis Adviser Will Net Bacrifice Honor or Prestige of Thelr Kingdom—{oafererce te Dis cuss School Question, TOKYO, Feb, 4 —After a careful sur. vey of public feeling here regarding the prespect of a satisfactory solution of the San Francisco school controver 8y It may be stated that while the ap proach of the termination of the dis agreeable affair Is welcowedl, yet the report from Washington that a solution may be effected by a mutual treaty ex eluding the immigration of laborers Is generally disbelieved as unreasonable According to the prevalling feeling, a solution must be effected on Japan's treaty rights pure and simple, However, confidence continues that a solution of the question will be reach ed witheut the least sacrifice of Japa- ness honor sand prestige or that a re sort to arms will be at all necessary. Baron Kaneko, 8 member of the Japanese house of peers snd an special ambassador recently detailed by the Imperial government to visit Amer fca and study political and economle conditions there, has just been inter viewed on the San Francisco schoel Question. In the course of the inter view he sald: “From the outset I knew It to be & local question, unindorsed by Ameri can public opinion, and I have been speaking of it to my friends In that light. This is more than confirmed by President Roosevelt's message, which I consider the greatest utterance since the farewell message of President Washington. It is unprecedented In the way It so strongly advocates a for eign cause. No stronger or abler ad- vocate could be found for Japan. Had the same schoo! question arisea else where a crisis weuld bave occurred and loud deflance have been uttered the length and breadth of the Japanese empire. “As n sincere friend of America, 1 could pot help but regret that San Francisco officials should have chosen innocent children for cffecting thelr political ends. “All my friends who have receatly returned from abroad, making compar ative observation of educational sys- tems in civilized countries, concur In giving the first rank to the American system. The fact that such an excel lent fruit of civilization has been re fused to the children of a friendly pow- er, and that, too, in a country acknowl- edged as the practical exponent of hu- manitarianism, only tends to alienate it from the sympathies of the civilized world. Before this Injustice Japan rests peaceful and quiet. Not = single soul bas ever thought that the San Francisco affair would endanger the friendship of both mations. The affair, disagreeable and regrettable as it ls, has served the unique purpose of dem- onstrating to the world how deep root- od Is the friendship between Japan and America” A conference between President Roosevelt, Secretary Root and tbe San Francisco board of education, which Mayor Bchmitz will attend, is expect ed to be beld In Washington on Fri day or Saturday to discuss the Japa- nese school question. It is undersfood that the president will endeavor to In- duce the board of education to rescind its action excluding the Japanese chil dren from the schools. Farewell Banquet For Bryce.
