voring suspension during the war Pc
riod the Chinese exclusion act and rec
ommending the admission Of Chinese
anl Japanese labor for work in the

Mr.. Lusk declared during the course
Of the hearing that the west was with
out sufficient manual laborcrs to cul-
tivate and harvest the crops which will
be grown on the lands now under cul-

time and money to attempt the culti-
walton of additional acreage without
providing additional labor.

JAMES BALFOUR
IS PRESIDENTS
DINNER GUEST
At Informal Meal Relations
of Allied Governments
Are Discussed.

Washington, April 30.--Arthur James
Balfonr Great Britain's foreign secre-
tary. dined informally with President
ana afterward the two statesmen had
their first intimate talk since they

four has announced that there is no
thought on the part of the allies OF
asking the United States to enter into
Germany: a loan Of $2O0,OO0,O 900 has
been made to England; the French
commissioners have arrived; war army
drafts bills have passed both houses Of
congress and informal conferences
have established agreement in principle
Uni ed States on military. economic
and financial affairs. The three gov
ernnents have come to know each
other. both in strength and in weak
ness and the lines have been laid for
the most effective cooperation pos
sible toward the defeat of German au-
tocracy.
These things are understood to have
| been reviewed by the president and
Mr.. Balfour with an idea of taking
stock and seeing particularly where
Englands experience could further be
of value to the United States.
Tonight's meeting marked a half way
point In the negotiations with the Brit
ish war commission. II came Mt the
conclusion of eight days OF investiga-
| ton and statements and at the begin
ming of formal conferences to work out
definite undertakings. As result
both President Wilson and Mr.. BalfouI
were able to speak with detailed
knowledge of the position and desires
of the other and lay the ground for the
| major decision to be worked out later
Mr.. Balfour remained at the White
House until after 10 o'clock and thcf
accompanied the president to the Pan
American building to attend n recep
tion given there by Secretary Lansing
in honor of the French commissioners
