IMMIGRATION
CONTROVERSY
Takes SO Long in the Senate
That Jap Exclusion Fea-
ture Is Not Reached

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Sen-
ate Republicans spent so much time
in a controversy over immigration
quotas, that they failed in their
party conference today to reach the
Japanese exclusion feature of pend
ing immigration legislation.
Chairman Lodge announced that
members were left free to vote as
they pleased on the exclusion
amendment which has been offered
by Senator Shortridge, Republican,
California. and which is similar to
the provision of the bill passed by
the House Saturday.
While no formal announcement
was made, some senators said the
conference had gone on record In
favor of a basic quota of one per
cent on the 1910 census. It also
approved the amendmep. by Sena,
tor Reed. Republican, pennsylvania,
which would make the quotas based
on origin of nationalities of the
whole population, and limit the
yearly total to 10000.
Momentous questions confronted
the organization Republicans of the
senate today when they went into
party conference to discuss a course
of action.
Their principal task was presented
by the pending Japanese exclusion
amendment to the senate immigra-
ton bill. on which an agreement
was sought despite the feeling OF
| leaders that whether they decided to
support or oppose the proposal II
would be adopted when II reached a
vote.
In addition, however, they had be-

that lay the crowded condition of the

House. went over for action until
this week. The proposals were made

but the House voted about four to
