NOTHING WHILE
IS JAPS' THREAT,
MENGE SAYS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire tn The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
WASHINGTON", April 15.—Time
ras when Washington would have
een in the midst of a real war scare
ver relations with Japan had the
ame situation been duplicated which
xists in congress today over the
nmigraticn bill.
For congress is about to brush
side all the pleas from Japan and
ver-ride not only the cautionary
arning expressed by the secretary
f state, Mr. Hughes, but the peti
ion of the Japanese ambassador,
uch a perplexing situation may
yean a veto of the immigration bill
y President Coolidge. Otherwise, he,
10 will be in the position of turning
own hjs own secretary of state and
jnoring the protests of a friendly
oyyer. But even if he vetoes the
ill, if it was passed by a two-thirds
ote and made law, the effect of the
eto may be to soften in some par
ci-Jars the harshness of the action
ow contemplated with reference to
apan.
hThe present problem is not parallel
jt*ny that has been presented in the
of Japanese-American rela
ons. The emigration from Japan
itherto has been controlled by a
gentleman’s agreement," whereby
apan has refused to grant pass
orts to any except students and
usmess men, thus cutting off coolie
ibor, which has been the chief rea
rm for California’s objection to
apanese immigration.
Laxity Charged to Japs
There have been charges that
ipan did nor enforce the agreement
ut the understanding was kept ef
?ctive largely because the United
tates at the time did not discrimi
ate against any other country ex
spt China.
Japan did not wish to be placed
1 the same category as China. Now,
owever, in recent years immigra
on has been restricted from all
juntries and onlj' a certain quota,
ised upon the number of nationals
1 each country already in the
nited States in a particular year,
m be admitted. If the quota -sys
>m were applied to the Japanese
?ry few would be admitted and the
ejections of the Japanese probablv
let, but the feeling in congress is
tch that absolute exclusion is lu
sted upon with respect to all per
ms who cannot be assimilated as
merican citizens.
While many senators gave as their
>ason for voting for exclusion the
tter of the Japanese ambassador,
lat is not the real basis for the
to the Japanese. The far
estern senators have succeeded in
inverting their colleagues to their
leas of exclusion and there is a dis
isition in the south to assist the
acific coast on this question.
Not First Such Threat
Ambassador Hanihara’s leter was
nt unlike previous communications
’ t*he department of state. The Japa
cse government always has point-
I out the possibility that "grave
msequences” might flow from any
scriminatory action by the con
fess of the United States. But those
mimunications have not been given
üblicity for the very reason that
le latest note has been fe. bopmer
ng. Congress has resented any in
srference by foreign powers in do
estic legislation. The state depart
ifrnt can receive in confidence pro
mts and veiled, threats. That’s the
roper channel, but when the notes
ecome public they are viewed as
lercive tactics and have the oppo
te effect from the one desired.
There was a time as late as five
r six years ago when a war scare
rould have followed any such at.ti
ude as congress now is taking,
apanese pride might have com
elled the Tokio government to back
p its notes by the threat, to use
orce. But there .is a change in the
elations between Washington and
’okio. The earthquake not only
as enfeebled the Japanese navy but
npoverished the country and
rought it face to face with a seri
us economic crisis. The U. S. also
as begun to buy more from Japan.
Navy Rivalry Lessened
The rivalry of naval armament
as been curtailed through the re
ent Washington conference treaties
nd there is no longer an Anglo
apanese,. alliance to worry the
tatesmen here.
On the whole, the situation has
hanged. No longer-is there a war
ke Japan behind the diplomatic
notes and. possibly, if there were,
it would not alter the action of con
because • the right to control
I® «hall or shall not enter the ter-
Rory of the United States is a sov
reign right just as zealously guard
ci here as it is in Tokio.
For the sake of better relations
inwever. the softening of the effects
f the blow was wanted by the de
lartment of state and undoubtedly
mth the president, and Secretary
lughes will continue to use. their
nfluence to obtain a modified bill

BONUS TO FOLLOW

IMMIGRATION BILL
WASHINGTON, April 15.—Early
and speedy consideration of the sol
dier bonus bill by the senate was in ;
prospect today after It was favor- i
ably reported to the chamber by Sen
ator Curtis, Kansas, a Republican
member of the finance committee,
who was assigned the task of mak

ready passed by the house, carries
only’minor amendments proposed;

Priority over the tax reduction
measure was voted for the bonus |
bill yesterday by Republicans of the ■
finance committee and Chairman!
Smoot expects to call it up before ■
the end of the week.
Plans to institute such action by
tomorrow or Thursday, however,
were checked somewhat by failure
of the senate to restrict debate to
day on the immigration bill.
Upon completion of the immigra
tion measure and prior to considera
tion o.f the bonus bill, it is likely,)
Mr. Smoot said, that the Reed pro
posal to recodify the veterans’ bu

revenue measure is to be taken up,
under Mr. Smoot’s plans. The Dem

ment by Paul J. Brown, cf this city,
president of the corporation. The !

Injunction Denied
In Election Case
QUINCY, Fla.. April 15.—Judge
E. C. Love late Monday denied the
application of T. 1,. Pelham, of
Tampa, for a temporary restrain
ing order to enjoin Secretary of
State Henry Clay Crawford from
carrying out his official duties re
garding the nomination and elec
tion of the members of the house of
representatives and the senate of
Florida because of the alleged un
constitutionality of the act of ISS7.
Mr. Pelham alleged in his appli
cation that the apportionment «of
representation in the state was un
fair to the southern sections.
The court declined to “interfere
and declare ap apportionment act
unconstitutional where there is no
prior or antecedent valid apportion
nient act to fall hack to.”

never fired a shot in anger.
But she’s trained a lot of naval

FIGHTING TO GET BID
OF CONSENT DECREE
WASHINGTON, April 15.—(8y
the Associated Press.) —The Swift
and Armour interests of Chicago
filed in court here today a, brief de
claring void the "consent decree” by
which in 1920 the big five packers
agreed to divert themselves of vari
ous commercial activities not direct
ly connected with the packing in
dustry. \
Intervening in a case pending ir.
the District of Columbia court of ap
peals, the Swift and Armour groups
filed a joint brief contending that
rhe consent decree was legally in
valid, and th<at the federal govern
ment itself had/ violated its part of
the agreement by a recent state
ment made to the court regarding
the basis on which the decree orig
f inally sj-as entered Into.

submitted last month to the court
of appeals the department of justice
declared that the consent decree car
ried the “implication” that the pack
ers had been conducting business
in violation of the anti-trust laws
On the contrary, the two packer
j groups declared in their brief the
' facts are that the decree itself stated
its terms “shall not constitute or be
considered as an adjudication that
the defendants, or any of them,

WEALTHY TENNESSEE \
FARMER BELIEVED
KIDNAPED Oil SI JIN
LEBANON, Tenn., April 15.—That
a. flnancla Ideal was responsible for
the alleged kidnaping or possible
slaying of Jack Buchanan, reputed
the wealthiest citizen of Wilson coun
ty, is one theory upon which officers
are working, according to C. S.
Reeves, sheriff of Wilson county,
who is leading the hunt. A reward
of SSOO is offered for his recovery.
The missing man has not been
heard from since neighbors saw him
ride off with an unidentified man
in an automobile which pulled up in
front of his home last Wednesday
night about 6 o’clock just as Mr.
Buchanan arrived home and was
beckoned to by the man in
motor car, which was described as
a dilapidated machine. They drove
south, neighbors said.
“Mr. Buchanan would not h,ave
gone away with the intention of not
returning,” Sheriff Beeves stated.
“He was an and well
respected. Os course lie had enemies,
as any man has in a town where he
makes more money than anybody
else.”
The officers place little faith in
tlie robbery theory, as Mr. Buchanan
had only a diamond, ring in valu
ables on his person when he left, ac
cording to Frank S. Buchanan, his
son. who came to Nashville in search
of information that might shed any
light on the mysterious disappear
ance of his father.
Several deputies and a hundred
citizens of the community have
scoured the section in search of Mr.
Buchanan without avail, though
Sheriff Reeves intimated that there
might be developments soon.
Apprehension is expressed by
Frank Buchanan as to whether his
father will be found alive. He is
known to have been a man who
loaned money on mortgaged prop
erty, and some of his friends believe
that he may have fallen prey to
enemies in business transactions.
Mr, Buchanan is 72 years old. He
owns a farm on the Cumberland
river and a plantation in Mississippi.
Communication with these has es
tablished no clue.
PRESIDENT SILENT
AS SENATORS CALL
HANIHARA’S THREAT
(Continued from Page 1)
sni, in a statement today to Ameri
can newspaper correspondents, pro
tested against exclusion of Japanese
from the United States, declaring
“we have cause for grave anxiety
and we appeal against any action
wniCh can only wound us to some ex
tent and bring little satisfaction tc
you.”
Eyes of the Japanese nation
today are anxiously turned to
ward Washington and immigra
tion has become an all-absorbing
topic. The people are following each
detail of action in the United States
congress as chronicled in frequent
newspaper extras. Official concern,
already deep as a result of passage
by the lower chamber of the John
son immigration bill, was further
intensified by news of the senates
overwhelming refusal to indorse the
"gentlemen’s agreement.”
Interviews with officials disclosed
an attitude bordering on despair, al
though they still look to the senate
or President Coolidge to block enact
ment of the Japanese exclusion
clause.
The newspaper Hochl branded as
“malicious falsehoods” the remarks
of adherents of the Johnson bill con
cerning immigration and Japanese
in California. It went on to say the |
representatives are either unable or I
unwilling to face facts and realize •
the consequences of their action. j
Douht Our Sincerity
Morning newspapers in editorials
written before the senate vote was
known here expressed regret but not
despair. They almost unanimously
support Ambassador Hanihara and
his reference to possible “grave con
sequences.” The conservative Chugai
Shogyo declared the inevitable con
sequence of exclusion would be
“hardening of Japanese hearts to
ward America, providing ammuni
tion for militarists.”
Jiji Shimpo describes the house
action as the “height of abuse and
injury to the Japanese nations” and
says it has grave significance as to
relations between America and Ja
pan. “The representatives,” it adds,
“have disregarded all dictates of in
ternational courtesy and morality.”
Ambassador Hanihara’s warning
of “grave consequence” was fully
justified in the opinion of Nichi
Nichi, which stated the house’s ac
tion “confirms our doubts of the
sincerity of idea’s America professes
to have regarding liberty and
equality.”

TOO MUCH. HfflEN
TELLS CHUBCHNIEN
Asserting that excessive niVos for
school books are imposing an im
mense and unnecessary burden on
the people of Georgia, Charles J.
Haden, Atlanta business man, ad
dressing a joint committee of rep
resentatives of eighty Atlanta
church at St. Luke’s church Mon
day evening, urged that textbooks
be published in this state.
Non-resident ’ book combines, he
declared, cost the state $4,000,000
more annually than if they were
printed In Georgia. He quoted the
average cost of school books per
child during the first seven grades
as being $20.74, and said that no
tice has been served by book houses
that prices will be increased consid
erably at the beginning of the next
school year.
“In round figures, there are 800,-
000 children in the Georgia public
schools,” Mr. Haden said, “making
the school book budget for the sev
en grades approximately $16,000,000.
A careful inquiry among publishers
and dealers develops the fact that
these books can be printed in Geor
gia at a saving of between 25 and 60
per cent.”
