tackS on Measure in

ton by Congress of the Oriental ex-

Mr.. Miller's statement was in re-
ply TO recent speeches made before
the Institute of Pacific Relations. an
unofficial international conference
holding sessions here, in which immi-
grafton matters have been freely dis
cuSsed.
The Washington Representative said
he did not believe it likely that Con
gress would repeal the exclusion
clause, as it had been passed only
after lengthy consideration and de-
bate. purely as an economic measure
Exclusion represents the voice of
the American people" said Mr.. Miller
1T will not be modified, because it is
the result of a fixed national policy
forced by the standards of the United
States" Selfish reasons alone, he de-
clared, account for the academic" at
tempts being made to assail the ex-
clusion policy.
The exclusion policies of America
and other nations were attacked in a
speech before the institute today by
NJ. Zumbto, adviser to the Japanese
government and former editor of the
Herald of Asia.
The greatest wall we have been up
against in the institute is the Amer
lean wall of discrimination" he said.
