TOKIO, Sept. 30. L. P.) Japan
ese officials are. considering a plan to
-name a high commission an one of the
possible means of composing Japanese
American relations, tho foreign office
declared today.- 'Th plan, however
has not materialized to a point where
H has been proposed officially to the
United States. The Ideaaccording to
the foreign office Is un old one. hav
ing been previously advocated as a
solution to the Japanosc-Amerlcan
. question.
Th foreign office, in a statement today-emphasised
these points:
That -Japanese contentions are not
tossed on the matter that Japanese be
refused the right to own land. btt on
.broader ttraunri Ihst Jaoanftse
claims for Ha Hlon ra'ltitf Kfcri'V'h

this connection the foreign office le-
. dared that the Japanese law against
foreign land ownership ilno not dis
criminate but applies to all allies in
Japan.
tiara Issues Confused
' That tho Immigration question sel-
tled. by the "gentlomons agreement,"
is not Involved In the prosent situation.
The foreign office charged tlW Japan
ese and American newspapers aro con
fusing the issue by injecting Into It
the Immigration question. i
While antl-Amcrlcan feeling is not
now noticeable bore, except In second
irato newspapers, officials, sjicnklng
unofficially, admit there Is a strong
undercurrent among Japanese . lubor
and it Is gravely foared that demon
strations may occur on the passage of
the law, which is to bo voted upon by
