the recent congress of a new
immigration law. Had 1t not been for
The urgency Of the situation created by
the exclusion of Japanese from San
Francisco schools and the desire to get
on the statute books certain provisions
which would enable the federal GOV
eminent to meet this emergency it is
doubtful whether any new law would
have been enacted by the Fifty-ninth
congress. There was much difference
Of opinion on the subject. and it was
only when the argument was used that
the passage of the bill then under ron
sideration might mean wardiny off a
war with Japan that the lawmakers
got together and put the bill through.
The new law contains various addition
nj restrictions in respect to immigra-
ton, and 1t is expected that the much
discussed provision respecting pass
ports, which was Incorporated in It at
the urgent solicitation OF the president,
will operate to keep Japanese coolies
from landing on the Pacific coast.
But the last word on the subject of
immigration has by no means been
spoken with the passage of this law.
To ascertain what further procedure
should be taken in the direction of re-
stricting immigration or directing the
movements Of those who come to this
country from foreign lands congress
authorized the creation OF a commits
sion to study the subject and make Il
report or 1t when the nations lawmak-
again assemble. The president will
use its report as the basis of recon-
