Emigration Restrictions Debate Tangles Japanese Plan
Amid U.S. Japan discussions, officials signal no treaty is planned to curb emigration. Tokyo-friendly measures may come via imperial ukase or steamer regulations to limit Japanese laborers to the United States. Ambassador Aoki approves a regulatory approach while California delegates seek swift relief. President Roosevelt boosts a busy agenda with varied dignitary visits and lawmakers seeking full disclosure on troop discharges.

Japan Too Poor to Fight Says Catholic Missionary
Father Claudius Ferrand a Catholic missionary in Japan at St. Austin's College argues Japan cannot wage war with the United States due to debt and taxation. He notes Japan borrowed for the late war, owes over $1 billion, and relies on foreign financiers. Ferrand predicts Japan seeks regional strength in Asia and a larger population in Manchuria and Korea, while noting a temporary truce with Russia. He and Brother Father Rouseil plan to leave for the Pacific Coast before returning to Japan.
