The Boston Motor Club also applied

made because of the road reports that
the San Antonio department sends out
daily to every section of the state.
These reports are considered remar.-
ably accurate and helpful, according
to the letters received from various
chambers of commerce and clubs
| throughout the country.
As the American Automobile Asso-

has become the largest automobile as

ship includes several millions Of peo-

Secret Arrangement in Con-

Time.

sador Hanihara.
SEND SENATE LETTERS

Washington. ID. C., April 1.-THE
famous 'gentlemen's agreement un-
der which japanese immigration into
the United STATES was curtailed, has
been reduced to concrete terms for the
first time in an exchange of corre-
spondence between Secretary Hughes
and Ambassador Hanihara.
The diplomatic exchange. calculated
to clarity the issue over japanese ex-
clusion which has been raised in Con-
gress during discussion of the new
immigration exchange. was forwarded
by Mr.. Hughes today to Chairman
Colt of the Senate immigration COM
mittee.
Heretofore the international under
standing between Washington and
Toxic on the subject has been based
on long succession of exchanges and
precedents. and the exact terms of the
agreement never have been reduced
to precise form.
Jap Envoy Dnics Charges.
In reaffirming the principle of the
agreement" the japanese ambassa-
doris letter to Secretary Hughes de-
MED charges by Pacific coast senator's
that the understanding has not been
observed scrupulously. 1t was assert
cd that Japanese were willing TO con-
tinue the arrangement in force. with
full promises of its observance, but
would look with serious doubt upon
proposals for a more drastic provision.
Secretary Hughes. in reply, said the
ambassadors statement OF the essen
tial points in the "gentlemen's agree
men" corresponded with his own un'
Outstanding of the arrangement.
The ambassador expressed hope that
full consideration would be given to
the grave consequences, which the pro-
posed exclusion clause in the immi'
grafton bill would bring ION other.
wise happy and beneficial relations
between the two nations.
Would "Offend" Japan.
The proposed exclusion would not
only seriously offend the pride Of
this nation" the letter said, but would
involve the question Of good faith and
therefore honor"
Ambassador Hauihara said his
government would be willing to enter
negotiations looking TO modification OF
change Of the agreement if that
seemed necessary.
The manifest object of the SAID
section" said the ambassadors let
ter. lis to single out Japan as ma
ton, stigmatizing them as unworth,
and undesirable in the eyes of thu
American people, and yet the actua
result, if the proposed bill becomes
law as intended. would be to ex'
clude only 146 japanese per year.
On the other hand. the agreement
is, in fact. accomplishing all that can
be accomplished by the proposed xe-
clusion laws except for those 146."
