It Is Understood That Japanese New in America Will Be Guaranteed Equality of T reatment With Other Aliens. : .New Washington. Newspapers of Tokto report that the Japanese and American governments have reached an agreement in principle relative to the exclusion of Japanese laborers from the United States. It is asserted, however, that there is a disagreement regarding the methods to be employed. America is understood to desire provisions for exclusion embodied in a treaty, say the Tokio newspapers, but Japan, it is said, regards this procedure as humiliating and as forming a precedent she might be forced to follow in treaties negotiated in the future. Japan is declared to consider that measures prohibiting her subjects from emigrating can be taken only on her own initiative. In other respects the negotiations are progressing, It la reported, and once this point has been settled an agreement may be expected. Whether the exclusion of Japanese laborers from the United States shall be effected by a provision of the new treaty or through a decree promulgated by the Japanese government Is said at Washington to be regarded not as a question of principle, but solely of expediency. The American position is that the Inclusion of such provision In the treaty would facilitate ratification of the pact by the senate. The Japanese position is that the treaty would be more likely to receive popular support in Japan if reliance was had entirely upon the willingness of the Japanese authorities to "execute faithfully an internal taw; or decree covering the subject. While there will be no naturalization provisions in the treaty, it is understood that the Japanese now in America will be guaranteed equality of treatment with other- - aliens in the same treaty relations, and complaint of discrimination will be met by a declaration that any restrictions imposed upon either Japanese in America or Americans In Japan shall be reciprocal. in words Americans In other are the as treated be will just Japan Japanese in America, and vice versa.
