SENATE ADOPTS
EXCLUSION CLAUSE
Amendment to immigration
Measure Barring Asiatics
Wins, AZ to IA.
JAPs SUBJECT OF DEBATE

| Washington, Dec l2.-By a vote ot
AZ to IA the senate late today adopted
the committee amendment to the i'm.
migration bill which would exclude
Hindus and other Asiatics without
mentioning them by name and which
eliminates from the bill all reference
to passport agreements.
Washington, Dec. l2.-Discussion
OF Japanese immigration and the SEN
ate committee amendment eliminating
all reference to passport agreements
in the pending immigration bill was
renewed in the senate today when
Senator Chamberlain offered an
amendment to restore mention of the
agreements. He thought elimination
OF mention Of passport agreements
would abrogate the Root Takahira
agreement and leave absolutely no re-
strictions on Japanese immigration.
The American slogan, he said, ought
to be safety first in protecting our
race from any disintegration."
Senator Smith OF South Carolina
denied that failure to mention the
agreement would abrogate it.
Japan is religiously keeping the
agreement and there is nothing to be
gained by the proposal to refer to this
agreement in this bill except to ir-
ritate Japan" said he. "You are doing
a thing which can only anger the ma
ton which is keeping this agreement
and which does not give you any ad-
d .ional safeguard whatever.
If i is the intent and purpose OF
the United States to abrogate a
solemn treaty and disregard our COM
pact with another nation, should not
vote tor it. But | submit that it
should be done openly and above
board, is such is the intention, and |
that Japan should be told that we are
going to exclude them"
That just exactly what we ought to |
do," said Senator Works Of Califor-
MIA, but apparently we are not ready
10 do that yet"
Senator Phelan Of California per-
,uaded Senator Chamberlain to with
draw his amendment and substituted
therefor another amendment to pro-
vide that nothing in the committee
proposals should be construed to re-
zeal any existing treaty or agree
nent which restricts immigration. !
senator Smith and other members Of
he committee insisted that this pro-
'osal would be open to the same OBJ
ections that were made by Japan to
he original language in the house bill.
Senator Williams OF Mississippi de-
Jared he could not see why such
tempest In teapot was being made
'ver the japanese question, particu-
arly when Japan had lived up to its
'greement and, as government, has
reated US in the best way possible.
