ImmieratiOn Act Is Hailed
AS Involving Influence On u. S.

President Coolidge's signature Of
the immigration bill closes for the
time what is considered by the press
as the most Important measure
passed by the present Congress, and
probably the most important in the
last fifty years, because it is a
tremendous change to which reactions
will be felt all over the country long
after discussions regarding the tax
and bonus bills have been forgotten.
Editors, however. are considerably
divided in their opinions as to
whether the President should have
| signed or vetoed the bill
"The Chief Executive did the best
he could under the circImstances: IN

I64y JUNE.
-Tis leafy June Once more we sing
About the beauteous hlossoming.
But not alone in wood and field
June brings most delightful yield
Where yonder stately building looms
Behold the presidential booms;
Some in their grandeur boldly set,
Some like the shrinking violet.
And in the distance we may see
The Dark Horse scamper DER the lea
He waits aloof. and yet it's thought
With oats he may with ease be caught
New leaves are ready to be shown
In campaign books familiar grown.
'Tis leafy June! What splendors crown

The Detroit Free Press Independently

sense Of proportion, and much as he
may. disapprove of the Japanese ex-

minor matter when compared with
the measure as whole, which Is to
large extent a sound, protective
piece Of legislation" The Rochester
TimeS-Cnion independently, also
feels he was justified in signing 1t
even with the troublesome Japanese
clause"
A contrary view is expressed by the
Detroit News independently which
says, President Coolidge's signing Of
the bill is distinct victory for Con-
gress, a severe defeat for the Exec
utive and a triumph for the state of
California over the United States OF
America" If he had vetoed the bill,
the News continues, sit would have
strengthened the hand Of the Presi-
dent and added one moro reason to
several already furnished for COM
pelling the voters to be more careful
in selecting their representatives in

pride had been softened by express
sions outside Of Congress, the Bal
timore Sun independently declares
much more good might nave oeen
done by such an expression OF hos

would have conveyed to Japanese
sensibilities."

The Buffalo News (Republiczn)
considers the reason given by the
President is not sufficient, because,
This statement does not help the
situation. Japan cannot read it with
out an intensity of indignation over
the exclusion provision" The Presi-
dent has attested his quality Of
