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.

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. We have
complete information here and will gladly
explain any points.
