NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE.
"In concluding these predatory re-
marks, the Bureau expresses the firm
conviction that, whatever the original
source of the present agitation against
the enforcement of the exclusion laws
may be. the purpose in view will not
be content with any modification OF
present modes of administration, how
ever extensive. An influence suffici-
GENTLY potent, by using the boycott
against a great nation, to secure the
relaxation of regulations which have
been enforced for years, which are be-
lieved to be just and necessary. and
which have successfully passed or
deals before the judicial branch of the
Government, will have secured assur-
ance that 1t may likewise influence the

ON CHINESE EXCLUSION
Continued from Page ~


contracting Governments, of the treaty
of 1880. on which all of the existing ax-
clusion laws are based. These gentle
men, who must have known the pur-
port of the language they used are on
record as according with the interpre-
tations denounced as unauthorized.
WHAT WOULD RESULT.
IF it has been difficult in the past
to exclude laborers posing as members
Of one of the four exempt classes, how
greatly such difficulties would be null
tiplied If the classes of which they
might successfully pretend to be men,
bers were extended to traders, doctors,
lawyers, farmers, engineers, priests,
clerks and the countless avocations
bordering on manual labor. Such an
Interpretation the Bureau believes
would make the law as imperative to
exclude laborers as would be an 'ooen
door to all Chinese. To favor the ex-
clusion of Chinese laborers therefore
does not consist with the advocacy
of the view criticized any more than
it does with an endeavor to relax
those rules and regulations which have
grown up in the course of administra-
ton as a result of the deceit and re-
| sourcefulness of violators of the law.
STRENUOUS DENIAL.
1.-The Bureau has no nes1tation IN de-
nying, without mental reservation or
| qualification, the oft-repeated charges
that through its officers, Chinese per-
sons seeking admission to this coun-
| try, whether of high or low degree
measured by the caste laws Of their
| own country, have been subjected to
| insult or humiliation or indignity. If
| such had been the case, the way has
| always been open to remedy the fault
or prevent its recurrence by establish
| ing the truth of any specific charge
| of official misconduct. There Is no
| special immunity enjoyed by officers of
this Bureau, as distinguished from
other branches Of the Executive Gov
| eminent, from the consequences of
their actions. The truth is that such
complaints can be made only in a gen
eral and indefinite way to gain cur
rency; specific instances would, as they
have been in the very few instances
| when given, promptly be shown to be
| without foundation. Thus a charge
