Wants Plenty of Time For Diplomatic Arrangements With Japanese Gov ernment-HOpes For Few Months Delay at the Least.

Washington, May 7.-The admins tration fight against the immigration bill provision making Japanese exclu- sion effective July l, will be carried to the floor of the senate and house when the bill comes up for final &C., tion.
 President Coolidge informed con- gressional leaders today that he re- garded the date set as entirely to., soon to permit the diplomatic ar rangement he wants to make with Japan, and steps were taken imme- diately afterward to line up those who sympathize with his view to op- pose acceptance of the conference re- port.
 Fayors March 1, ts28..
 The President favors March 1, 1926, at the effective date of the exclusion provision and he is hopeful that at least delay of few months beyond the date fixed by the conferees finally will be agreed to by congress
 It was the 1926 date which Mir. Coolidge suggested to the conferees, and he nanifestly was disappointed at the agreement of the conference committee on July of this year, which was the date carried in the bill as it passed the house. Under the senate bill, the provision would have become effective immediately.
