DEADLOCK OVER JAP QUESTION
President Roosevelt and Mayor Schmitz fail to agree
on the school question?If one or the other does not
modify his views their conferences will have been in
vain
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Washington, Feb. 12 ? President
| Roosevelt and Mayor Schmitz, of San
: Francisco are deadlocked over the
Japanese school question. After a
jconfereuse this morning it was an
nounced that either the San Francisco
delegation or the president must modify
tboir views or there cad be no agree
ment.
The question of the exclusion of
Japanese laborers from the United
States was not discussed At any of the
meetings or conferences.
The announcement that the question
of Japanese immigration had not been
discussed has caused many to wonder
what was the nature of the compromise
that bad been proposed. It was gener
ally believed ihat the president has
about secured the consent of Japan to
negotiate a new treaty wherein it will
be provided that Japanese coolies will
not be permitted to land 1 n the Uoited
States and that unskilled American
labor will be kept out of Japan. That
was believed to be the basis of the com
promise with Mayor Schmitz.
It is understood that Japan has con
sented to a treaty along these lines pro
vided the Americans shall recede from
the position with reference to the
schools at San Francisco. Tbe latter
they desire as a matter of national
pride.
