PrO~iniOns Of the Bill.

The pending bill provides for the eN-
cllsion OF all aliens not eligible to citiZen-
ship by naturalization. This would en-
clude all japanese, with the exception
of the exempted classes such as students,
merchants and travellers.
There is no doubt of this sweeping dis
barmcnt of Japanese proving objection
able to Japan, as 1t is based on the same
principle and precisely the language em-
ployed in the California allen land law,
already subject of controversy.
The present arrangement. by which the
privilege of keeping emigration to the
United States down to "A minimum IL en-
trusted to Japan. IL satisfactory to that
Government, as IL is a concession to her
authority and dignity, whereas wholesale
exclusion of Japanese on the basis of
their racial ineigiblity to American citi-
zenship would raise questions of tn"
equality of the Japanese and affect
Japan's national honor and prestige,
While Mr.. Bryan has not yet Officially

cordial relations with Japan much

The Burnett Dillingham; immigration
bill. vetoed last year by President Tai,

that no part of the act relating to tn.
exclusion OF Asatics should be so APP
