Careful Inquiries to determin whether or not J tho allien will listen to Japan' propoe r to amend the League of Nation, core I rant to Include statement against ra i clal discrimination and prejudice are be- in if made by the. Japanese delegates. I There are- reasons , to bellere that St I American opposition to the Inclusion of this amendment becomes marked tt will j never be offered. Japan will rather I pass the matter over In silence and bid her time than sniffer diplomatic defeat at the hands of the council of four. , Opposition by Australia and New Zea land to Japan's amendment la already marked. Reports' are also coming to the Japanese of opposition in the Pacific Coast states to the measure, as veil as stories of telegrams of protest being; received by the American commission era. ' . ' "" TSo Hestlon f InmicraUon Japan proposed to introduce a state ment that all nations signing the cove nant agree that racial discrimination was entirely done away with for all time. This was to go into the preamble and no mention was mad of immigra tions As one Japanese, who Is close, to the commissioners of his country, ex pressed it to me, "We were willing; to submit merely a general resolution to fcet the principle recognised without say ing anything about Immigration, as we could take that up later." "- -" In the . meantime, the Japanese com- 1 TnlRHtonera are rcelvlnff reDOrts from i llifllr homeland of meetlnrs of orOtests at which resolutions are adopted de manding that the commission Obtain for the Japanese : the right ?f free entry into any country In j which they choose to settle. These resolutions point to the fact that the Japanese stand branded as) an Inferior race so long as the present laws are tolerated. ; There is a vague hint that if other countries, notably the United States, give up discrimination airainst Japan, the latter will put Into practice a law permitting foreigners to own land In Japan which now is not I possible. ' ; - - ' . ? - Jasaa "rrm Have Yoleo .. The anomalous situation of the com mlaaionera at- the. peace conference has been the subject of interested comment ever since the council of four began its Hessiona. . It - is understood that when President Wilson, Premier XJoyd George, Fremier Orlando and Premier Clemen ceau iaaugurated their meetings noth ing was said to the Japanese about the reason for leaving them out. The Jap anese took, the matter with oriental ur banity.' One of the delegates said to my informant, "I have asked why "wH Vere not Included, because no ' reason was ctven us.'.' -- It. la believed that tho council of four made a diplomatic error In not giving to the world a detailed statement of its alms in reducing the lie of the group. The mdtive was wholly praiseworthy. , It yvns felt that a smaller committee .would secure better results' with - leas - dtscus-Bion-.r Jn view of, the fact that the com mittee discussed only European affairs, in which Japan Itt hot interested,' it was felt unnecessary to call in. the Jap anese. Bo far the four have discussed only frontiers in Europe, reparation and indemnities.

Jewish . state of Palestine, the facta of ' which are already widely known. The second and equally im portant point is that of giving so-called minority -rlghU ,to. Jews'- as national groups In states now being formed or reconstructed la Europe. - This latter point is not so clear to the public We presented this -a.1 few week ago to . Mr. Wilson. In Poland, Bohemia, Ukranla ithd other new nations recognition, is extended to. all tho minority nationali ties and they are guaranteed the rights of .speech, religion and so-" on. We, ask that In . these countries .the Jews be given similar nationalistic right. " " "We believe that as states are now being i formed or enlarged their admis sion to the League of -Nations can be made dependent on whether or not they have? granted these rights. Take tor Instance the case of Roumanla, which recognises the Jew as an Individual only, and which, according to the con gress of Berlin, .was to give the .Jews citizenship. Out of 800,000 Jewsrln Rou manla, citizenship has been given to only aoOyWlthfnMO years. If Roumanla gets Bessarabia" and Transylvania- she adds 00,000 Jews to fier population. We ask guarantees that these Jews . be given equal treatment before the law and not left as men without a country. Ukranla has already voted national group tights to the Jews." X Judge Mack declared that tho for tunes of- trom 8,000,000 to 10.000,000 Jews -were- Involved In the reconstruc tion of the states of Central Europe.
