Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs Jutarō Komura telegraphs Japanese Ambassador Baron Kogoro Takahira regarding the efforts of the Japanese Imperial government to restrict emigration pursuant to the Gentlemen’s Agreement with the United States government. The government is monitoring the issuing of passports much more closely, and while there is still substantial Japanese traffic between Japan and the United States, much of this is from non-laborers, women, and tourists. Additionally, many Japanese return to Japan from the United States every month as well.
