What the Law Says

The japanese exclusion provision
which has been the storm center of
the measure, states:
mo alien ineligible to citizenship
shall be admitted to the United
States -"
The effect of this provision is to
bar by law all Japanese CooEe i'm
migration. The clause does not spe-
officially mention Japanese. but the
intent of Congress is directed against
the Japanese, as other Asiatics al
ready are excluded by law.
In addition to the Japanese ex-
clusion clause, the provision of the
measure includes:

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Presi-
dent Coolidge today signed the i'm
migration bill providing for ex-
clusion of japanese July 1. The bill
is becomes a law.
The President issued a statement
explained his action, saying that
however much he regretted the
japanese exclusion clause, 4 must
consider the bill as a whole and the
imperative need of the country of
legislation of a general character"
In signing this bill, President
Coolidge said. which in its main
feature heartily approve, I regret
the impossibility of severing from it
the exclusion provision which in the
light OF existing law affects especial
y the japanese.
IF the exclusion provision stood
alone, I should disapprove Of il with
out hesitation.
Takes Congress to Task
But the bill is a comprehensive
measure dealing with the whole sub
ject of immigration and setting up
the necessary administrative ma
chinery. The quota act Of 1921 viii
terminate June 80, next. 1t is of
great importance that a COmprehel-
sive measure should take its place
and that the arrangement for its ad-
nlinistration should be provided at
once in order to avoid hardship and
confusion"
President Coolidge took Congress
to task for insisting on the form of
.he exclusion provision over his OBJ
jections declaring this method of
securing unnecessary and deplor-
able at this time"
To have permitted the Govern
ment to have negotiated for ex-
cIusion by treaty" he said, would
not have derogated from the author
ity of Congress to deal with the
question in any exigency requiring
its action"
