BY FRAZER EDWARDS

JHifcd Press stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April 19.-Presi-
dent Coolidge today held lengthy con-
ferences with Secretary OF State
Hughes and Senator Lodge Massachu-
setts, leader in the Senate. giving rise
to the belief that developments in the
japanese immigration question were
pending.
Although all parties to the meeting
were uncommurficative it was be
lieved the japanese question wasSdis-
cussed. In view of the fact that the
immigration bill is not yet in the
Presidents hands and consequently
there is no cause for immediate ac-
tion on the bill itself. it was assumed
that some developments concerning
the Japanese protest was under con
sideration
Passed Overwhelmingly
The immigration bill with the con.
troversial Japanese exclusion features
was passed Overwhelmingly by the
Senate last night and will be rushed
through conference with the House in
the next few days and sent TO the
White House. there to meet a prob
lematical fate.
President Coolidge has given no
inkling of how he will treat it Power
full pressure has been brought TO bear
upon him by administration leaders in
the Senate and those in charge OF his
campaign to approve it. and equally
powerful arguments have been ad-
vanced 10 him by other advisers to
veto il.
Hold Veto Is Futile
Those who would have him approve
1t point TO the enormous majorities
by which the bill has been passed.
To veto it, they say, would be futile
as passage over the veto Is inevitable
with a breach opened between the
President and his party in Congress.
Political advisers of the President
further point out that a veto might
ALLEVIATE his supper in the Pacific
coast States.
Japs May Send New Note
Meanwhile the diplomatic angles of
the situation are being canvassed by
Secretary Hughes and way out OF
the difficulty is being sought.
In some quarters it is reported that
Ambassador Hanihara will send an
other note to Hughes disclaiming any
intention Of making threats in his
grave consequence" note and thus
pave the way for President Coolidge
to ask Congress to reconsider its ac-
ton.
The bill went through the Senate at
a night session after a day of debate
on amendments affecting the quota
provisions. AS finally passed ii close
ly resembles the House bill in that 1t
provides for quotas of per cent
based on the 1880 census and ex-
cludes Japanese. Minor adnSnistra-
tive details will be ironed o1t in con-
ference.
