Japan claims she has maintained
the conditions of the agreement in
good faith. Notwithstanding that.
the United States is interested only
in the result of Japanese immigra-

the very conditions foreseen by Mr.
Roosevelt. A fair and effective
remedy for this situation is deemed
necessary. J’erhaps Congress will
