that japanese arrivals at the frontier
have in some wholesale fashion been
made aware of the fact that the pres

treated with extraordinary courtesy.

|JAPS ARE SASSY
TO OUR OFFICERS
Accuse Them of COwardice for
Their Leniency
President Ordered Japs Treated With
Courtesy and Little Brown Men
Don't Understand.
AN INVESTIGATION Is ORDERED.

Washington, d. c., April 1S.-Sec-
rotary Strauss, after consultation with
the president, has begun searching
of conditions which pre-
vail at all of the immigration stations
on the Pacific coast, on the CANADIAN
line, and along the international
boundary between the United States
and Mexico.
The reports which have reached
here regarding the attitude of the
Japanese who are being turned back
at the border are disquieting, to say
the least. 1t was natural to expect
that the first immigrants to be turned
back would resent their exclusion and
would complain at once to the Japan
|ese ambassador. Most of them left
Japan long before the exclusion order
was put into effect. They reached
this country after a preliminary So
journ of a month or two in Hawaii,
Mexico or Canada.
There are daily clashes at the
frontier now between the immigration
officers and Japanese, and the depart
ment of commerce and labor, acting
through the commissioner general of
immigration, Frank Sargent, has
found it necessary to order an invest
igation which will be begun at once
at San Francisco, and extended as
rapidly as possible to every frontier
port where the japanese are seeking
admission to this country.
When President Roosevelt issued
his first exclusion proclamation he
caused regulations to be prepared
for the guidance of immigration Off
GERS in administering the law. They
were specifically warned under pen
atty of dismissal that they must treat
Japanese offering themselves for adj
mission, and excluded under the or
der, with extraordinary courtesy.
Such an order from the president was
perhaps, necessary. because the i'm
migration officers of the Pacific coast
and northwestern Canadian boundary
have been dealing with Chinese so
long and have been so accustomed to
the trickery of the "slant eyes" as
-
they invariably are designated, that
Cinnamon have been treated with
scant ceremony whenever their at
tempts to evade the law have been
detected.
Under ordinary circumstances i'm
migration officers would not have
been likely to discriminate between
the Chinese and other mongolians or
allied nations. The president has
from the first been in sympathy with
The japanese, and he has determined
he exclusion law should be applied
With a minimum of harshness, and
hat every possible care should be
aiken to avoid clash with the jap
lnese.
