Japanese Protest Against Barrier Reaehes Capital State Department ami Em bassy Silent on Message Said to Brand Exclusion as “Discriminatory.” Washington, May 29.—A formal communication from the Japanese government protesting ayalnsi the ex clusion section of the new Immigra tion lsw reached the Japanese em bassy here today for transmission to Secretary Hughes. Decoding oc cupied embassy officials throughout ths day and the document had rot been presented at the State depart ment nor had any appointment been made with the secretary for Ambassa dor Hanlhara when the department closed for the day to reopen Satur day. At the embassy, no Information as to the nature of the protest was forth coming. State department officials also maintained silence. The question of making public the protest will be considered by Secretary Hughes and Amassador Hanlhara after the latter formally places the note before the American government. The only Information thus far avail able as to the form and substance of the Jaf^nese communication Is that carried in press dispatches, which have reported that the Toklo govern ment regards ihe exclusion provision as "discriminatory" and In violation of a commercial treaty. There Is little doubt flint admlnls tration officials will take the position thst the exclusion legislation In no way violates treaty obligations with Japan, either specific or general In character. They also are firm In their Insistence that Immigration policies fall entirely within domestic jurisdiction. Whatever statement the Japanese government finds it necessary to make, however, will be received by the Washington government in a complete spirit of friendliness and with a desire of President Coolldge and his advisers is to make It clear to the people of Japan that neither the Washington government nor the American people cherish any hut the most friendly senliments toward Japan.
