recommending laws to control cor

eld-fashioned idea that laws are made
to be enforced.

Washington-The basis of the agree
ment reached between President

Japanese school controversy. made
public by Mayor Schmitz. provides that
all children of alien races, under 16
years of age, who speak the English

be established for children OF alien
birth who are deficient in the elements
OF the English language"
Assistant City Attorney Williams, of
San Francisco, who has acted as legal
advisor to Mayor Schmitz and the
board Of education since negotiations
have been pending, said: ITO under
stand the exact meaning OF the state
ment given out by Mayor Schmitz, 1t
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 laborers
from this country
Mayor Schmitz said: This is only
a temporary agreement. President
Roosevelt has given us direct and posi-
