The measure, decided tn as A substitute for the bill passed several weeks ago by the house. would become effective next April first and continue. in force only until June 30. 1922.
 During the fifteen months the bills 1e- str!ctions would be effective senate lead- c.s are confident permanent migrate leEislatj-n will be enacted an1 in the raeanti.re the predicted flood of aliens would be stopped.
 The bill. sE reported by the senate com nittee. would limit the immigrants ld- rnitted 10 the United States annually from any one country to five per cent. of the nationals. of that country in the United States at the time The 1910 census was taken. The measure, however, specifical- ly provides that it shall mot be con- st-ued as amending. repeating or modify ing any law or agreement now existing which forbids the admission of any alien os any nationality or geographical boun- dary" This provision was interpreted to mean that treaties now existing between the United States and China and the Unit cd States and Japan would not in any W.se he affected.

COLBY DECLINES TO SUBMIT
 NEGOTIATIONS WITH LAPS

Washington. Feb. 10.-The letter of Secretary Colby declining to transmit information on the negotiations that have been conducted with .he view to treaty action with Japan was received without comment today by the senate foreign relations committee. The let- ter was in reply to a communication of inc committee, forwarded at the in stance of Senator Johnson of Califor- mia. requesting information on the subject. if not incompatible with the public interest.
 Secretary Colby said in his letter .hat the record of the negotiations LOW in his possession was practically that of a preliminary comparison of views. coupled with recommendations which are still the subject of examina- tion."
 Substantial progress has been made toward an ultimate agreement" the letter added, through the informal con versations conducted 4. by Roland s Morris. the United states ambassador to Japan. and Baron Shidehara, the Japanese ambassador, with the view of laying the basis of a new treaty or amending existing commercial treaties in an effort to solve the problem aris- Ing from the enactment last November by California of an anti-alien land bill.
 There Is no agreed text of which z copy could be communicated to tn, committee in advance of the regular submission of whatever convention may ultimately be signed" Secretar! Colby said in his letter.

bill and the senate measure. The latter. they declared, would exclude more aliens than the Johnson bill, 300,000' being estl- mated as the maximum number of admis- sions in the first twelve months of the senate measures existence Admissions off relatives and dependents, authorized by the house measure, they said, would make more than equal the number of all entries under the senate bill.
 Another difference between the two bills was pointed to in the provisions flor de- termining what classes oe immigrants would be admitted. The house voted to treat all nationalities alike. The ap- parent disposition in the senate as in- dicated in the bill reported today, is to legisiate only against European immi- grafton. In this connection, Senator Colt Rhode Island. chairman of the commit tee, described the bill as lone of tenn porary use only and intended to apply to European countries" Statistics, he said showed that ninety per cent of all i'm migrants come from Europe.
 The five, per cent. figure was agreed committee to reduce it and senators fa- voring absolute prohibition will carry their fight to the floor of the senate.
 Senator Colt, in reporting the bill, an. nounced that he would push it for pas. sage immediateiy'' and Senator Harrison expressed a similar intention eFlool leaders, however, expressed doubt thai the bill would pass at the present session because of the congested condition of the senate calendar.
