Toklo , Nov. 29. It is understood
that American Ambassador O'Urlea '
has officially called the attention of
the Japanese government to the great
Increase In the numbers of Japan * * *
arriving on the Pacific coast. He pre *
scnted the vlow of the state depart *
ment that this cannot be considered
in accordance with promises of th
Japanese government and therefor *
requested a rigid investigation and
prompt measures to prevent the Immi
gration Into America of any person
who , entering as a student , might aft
erwards become a laborer.
At the foreign office it was stated
to a correspondent of the Associated
Press : "We are now considering the
beat methods of controlling and limit
ing emigration and correcting any
mistakes which may have occurred re
cently Conditions here are different
from those in America. Japanese stu
dents who have reached a certain
grade in the Japanese schools desir
ing to visit America register as stu
dents in good faith. But , reaching
America , they secure work to enable
them to prosecute their studies.
It Is quite probable that frauds have
bem committed , but without the cog-
nlzanre of the government. We nra
now using every precaution to prevent
a recurrence of such frauds. "
