$40, $4,000 FIRST MONTH
Custom Receipts Attain New Record,
According To Treasury Officials
Greater Revenue Than
Estimated.

Washington.-A Federal revenue of
approximately S445,000,000 this fiscal
year from import taxes, or about
500, 900, 900 more than in the nations
history, was forecast by customs Of
ficials.
This is on the basis of returns under
the new tariff act for month and a
half it's operation, and the almost un-
precedented income which immediate
ly preceded the enactment of the
Fordney McCumber statute, when
there were heavy Withdrawals from
bonded warehouses and a rush of i'm
ports to avoid the higher duties of the
new law.
The actual revenue for the first
month of the operation of the pro-
tective measure was S40S6S,266, or at
the rate of nearly $500, 100000 year.
Officials said this was the first time
that customs receipts had reached
S40,OO0,000 in the month after enact
ment of new tariff.
They expected some recession from
this monthly total, but said there was
little or no indication of the slump in
imports which usually has occurred
during the first six months or year
after imposition of protective rates.
Two explanations were offered. One

other the recovery of the country be

Opinion Fsils To Mention Gentlemen's
Agreement Regulating imml-

Significance.

Neutrality-suspicious. cannot be
naturalized in the United States and
cannot become citizens of this coun-
try, the Supreme Court of the United
States decided in its first construction
of Federal statutes bearing on the
subject. The decision was the first
delivered by Justice Sutherland as
member Of the court and was handed
down in a case brought by Takao
Ozawa, who in 1914 applied for citi'
xenship in Hawaii.
The ruling is expected to attract
wide attention not only in the United
States but abroad, Notwithstanding
the failure of the court to make any
reference to its diplomatic signifi-
canoe. The case has been long pend
ing -in the Supreme Court, and last
term when reached for argument
during the Conference on Limitation
of Armament and Far Eastern Ques-
tions, its consideration was postponed
at the request Of the Department OF
Justice. No reference is to be found
in the decision to the gentlemen s

The Government did not object to
the argument of the case when II
was reached at this term, and the
court advanced and heard at the same
time the case brought by Takuji Yam
ashita and Charles Hio Kono, against
the Secretary of State of Washington
In the latter case the two japanese
had been naturalized by a superior
Court, of Washington, prior to 1906
the date of the present Federal nat
uralization statute, and at tim'
when it was conceded Section PIG
of the Revised Statutes, which re
stricts naturalization to free whit
persons" and those of African brit
or descent, was in full force.
In the Ozawa case the court state
that there is not implied-either i
the legislation or in our interpretf
ton of it-any suggestion of indivit
ual unworthiness or radical infer
ority. These considerations are in n
manner involved" 1t also referred t

Two questions decided by the cou
were whether the general naturaliz

by the provisions of Section 2169
the Revised Statutes, authorizing Il
naturalization of free white pt
sons" and those of African birth al
descent, and whether, If so limite

the history of the legislation the cot
