AMERICAS REPLY
TO JAfAN'S NOTE

Will Bring 'GentIemen'S S
Agreement Formally

By United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, June 2. - The
American government in the near
future will dispatch a courteous
reply to the protest of Japan against
the new law excluding Japanese i'm
migration to the United States. One
Of the principal points in the Amer
lean response, it is understood, will
be to bring formally to an end the
gentlemen's agreement by which
Japan voluntarily restricted her i'm
migrants here to a minimum.
Japan in her note of protest de-
clered the new law made it impossi-
BILE for her to continue the gentle
mems agreement.
Whether the Japanese claim that
the exclusion law violates the
spirit of the commercial treaty of
1911 will be refuted in Hughes re-
ply is not finally decided. but the
State department is in a position to
show that this government made
ample reservations at the time of
the negotiation Of the treaty that
the right of the United States 10 leg
islation on American immigration
was not to be affected.
