I am not fully informed as to the details of the proposed referendum on this subject to be voted upon at the election in November. as it has been presented since my departure from the United States. but I presume that it is intended to fill the gaps through which the present antiJapanese landowning law is evaded in the ways that I have described. In the interest of a longcontinued friendship between Japan and America. I believe that this law should be made effective and that Japanese immigration should cease. It should not be left open as a cause for irritation. As to the charge that the legislation proposed will result in confiscation of the property of Japanese.
