Japan Tightening Up On Foreigners

Tokyo, To-day. Revised and stricter regulations governing the ad- mission of foreigners to Japan, to become effec- tive in May, have been announced by the Jap- anese Home Ministry.

The new rules provide entrance and tourist fees and heavier penalties for violations of the re- ⚫gulations.

It is explained that 30,000 to 40,000 foreigners come to Japan each year, either to reside or to visit. The present resident population is estimated at about 30,000, including 14,000 Chinese.
