All Party Heads in Eiet Bind Selves to Try to Restore "OUl Friendly Relations." Tokio, May 2S. The next move in the question of the exclusion of Japanese from America, provided for in a clause of the immigration bill passed by the American congress and signed by the president, is up to the state department in Washington, in the view of officials here. The solemn protest of the Japanese government, based, it is believed, on the pround that the exclusion pro vision is a contravention of Article One of the treaty of commerce and navigation between the United States and Japan, has been sent to Ambassador Hanihara for presenta tion to Secretary of State Hughes. This article of the treaty of com merce and navigation guarantees equal treatment of the merchants of the two countries. When Hanihara has delivered the protest to the secretary of state and the matter is disposed of. the ambas sador is expected to leave for home. The foreign office says this is at his own request, he having repeatedly asked for leave, but it is not expect ed that he will return to Washing ton. Resrsnt Approves Protest The protest, approved by the cabi net, was also submitted to the prince regent for his sanction, an unusual proceeding:, indicating that great im portance is attached to it. Foreign Minister Matsui added a statement to the press, expressing deep regret at the passage of the immigration bill, and referred to the government's protest as a "solemn" one. He urged the press, which had commented bit terly on the signing of the bill by President CooIIdge to maintain an at titude of restraint. Leaders of all the parties in the diet, including men who will take over the government when Premier Kiyoura's cabinet resigns, probably early in June, in a special meeting passed a resolution binding them selves to use their best efforts to re store the old friendly relations be tween the two countries. In their view the exclusion law does not represent the true will or the American people, supporting their statement by the declaration of President Coolidge's disapproving of it. Dad Lubrication and other features of OIL PULL The Cheapest Farm Power YOU- want to be sure of several things when you select a tractor. One is lubri cation. For without a protecting film of oil that never fails, parts wear quickly and power is wasted. The Oil Pull is doubly protected by its system of Dual Lubrication. A pump, tested to work under 2000 pounds pressure, forces oil, drop by drop, to the vital bearings of the engine. From these parts the surplus oil works down into the crank case. Here the connecting rods churn it into a heavy mist which com pletely envelops the interior of the engine. Other features of the OilPulI which make pos sible its consistently delivered "10-Year-Ser-vice" are Triple Heat Control, Oil Cooling, etc. Find out about this "proved" tractor that is growing more popular every year.
