AGREEMENT OF
JAP QUESTION

Washington, Feb. 10. - japanese
children are to be admitted to the
white schools Of San Francisco under
certain restrictions; skilled and unskill-
ID laborers coming from japan barred
from the mainland of the United
states, and American laborers, skilled
and unskilled, are to be excluded from
Japan.
This is the basis of the agreement be
tween President Roosevelt, Secretary
Root, Mayor Schmitz and the San
Francisco school board as an adjust
nent of the anti-Japanese agitation
brought about by the segration of Jap
anese children in the San Francisco
schools.
The agreement means that the
schools of San Francisco win be con-
Quoted in the same manner as they
were before the board of education
adopted the resolution last October
providing for the segregation of the
Japanese, except that adult Japanese
who a1e in the primary grades must
continue to attend the oriental schools,
and that Japanese children under rs
will be admitted to classes with white
| children of their own ages.
While the resolution of the school
board as amended reads, "Children of
alien birth, F" it is freey admitted by
Mayor Schmitz and his associates that
the resolution will apply only to the
Japanese children, and that the change
in the wording was TO make it plain to
the Toxic government that no discrim-
nation was intended against japanese
children.
Assistant District Attorney Williams
of San Francisco, who has acted as le-
gal advisor to Mayor Schmitz and the
board Of education since negotiations
have been pending, said
To understand the exact meaning
OF the statement given out by Mayor
Schmitz it will be necessary to read
between the lines. The only concession
we have made is to admit japanese
children to the white schools, while in
return the administration has brought
about the exclusion of Japanese labor
ers from this country
Mayor Schmitz said:
This is only a temporary agreement.
President Roosevelt has given us dir.
ect and positive assurances that he will
at once begin negotiations with Japan
for the purposes of bringing about q
new treaty that will exclude Japanes,
