U. S. OBJECTS
TO JAPAN BEING
ON SAGHALIEN
Tokio, July 29 (By A. P.) The
Japanese government has received a
communication from the United
States pointing out that America is
unable to recognize Japan's occupa
tion of the northern half of the island
of Saghalien.
It is considered likely that Japan,
after mature deliberation will for
ward an answer to Washington in an
attempt to clarify official opinion
there and remove any misunderstand
ing of Japan's position.
There are indications that Japan is
passing through another "nervous
crisis" concerning her relations with
the United States. Numerous inter
pellations have been made in the diet
about the American attitude. wnile
i the important newspapers are coun
selling their readers to keep cool it is
apparent that a certain amount of ap
prehension exists concerning the re
sult of the 'Congressional inquiry in
California. The Japanese, however,
seem convinced that it is being con
ducted with the utmost fairness and
attention is being called to state
ments that a number of Americans
have come forward spontaneously to
testify in favor of the Japanese
Among the incidents which have
tended to fan anti-American feeling"
was the publication here of the re
ports that the burning of . Japanese
stores in Marysville, California was
possibly the act of anti-Japanese ele
ments. Articles also have been print
ed declaring that Americans were en.
gaged in attempts to steal Japanese
maps, and these hove resulted in in
creased surveillance of American
tourists.
