Friends Forced to
Repudiate Stand
BY Ruth Finney

WASHINGTON. April Is. -
Possibility Of a domestic shake
up, including the resignation OF
Secretary Of State Hughes, was
conceded by Pacific coast repre-
sentatives today, following the
quick turn of events in c0nnec-
ton with The immigration bill.
No trouble with Japan will fol
low the abrogation OF the gen
tIemen's agreement and enact
meni of exclusion legislation, in
the opinion Of Western Iegis-
lators.
Hughes. with hts concilIatory at
titude toward Japan and his fear
full warnings 10 congress. has prac-
tically been repudiated by that body.
President CooIidge's position also
is difficult one. Probably he. too,
must repudiate Hughes or add more
fuel TO HIS already bitter quarrel
with the senate. A veto OF the i'm
migration bill, in face OF the over
whelming majorities given the ex-
clusion clause by both houses OF
congress. would be nothing more
than futile gesture OF defiance.
The only other action possible Is a
break with Hughes.
Retirement OF Hanihara from dip.
lomatic circles also seems imminent
There is no doubt that Haniharas
threat. rather than the cold logic
OF exclusion advocates, swept the
exclusion measure TO complete vic
tory.
Senator after senator in the clos
ing debate asserted original opposi-
ton 10 exclusion, but declared tina.
the United States now could do
nothing else.
Judge Rakor today pointed out
that three grave menaces TO the
United States have been removed BY
the action OF congress. Admission Of
Japan to quota basis on like terms
with all other nations would have
opened the way for the following
things:
Future congresses would have in
evitably increased quota percentages.
admitting larger numbers of Japa-
nese to this country.
With the principle of equality once
conceded. Japan would have had ade-
quate grounds for demanding that
the alien land laws OF Pacific coast
states be annulled. Thus, Japanese
would have gained the right to both
own and lease land in this country.
Japan would have had basis for
her third demand, already being
voiced in Japanese language news
papers OF the coast, that her citizens
be naturalized in the United States
and permitted to vote and hold office
after a few years residence here.

Famous Business Passes.

Bepedict's shoe store at New
Canaan. Conn, has just gone out Of
business after a life of 1872 years.
This store was the outgrowth of a
shoe factory started in 1852 by James
Benedict and the products became ma
tionally known in time. The factory
cut the parts. which were stitched
together by hand in the homes of the
employees. The original owner and
successors in the family have con-
sistently refused to make anything
but the best grade of shoes and COM
petition has apparently forced the
closing of the retail store, which was
started some years after the factory.
