Secretary Hughes points out that congress was wholly. within its right in the enagtment of the pro- vision and that tge action taken “‘is mandatory upon the executive branck of the government and allows no latitude for the exercise of. executive . discretion as to the carrying out of the legislative will expressed in the statute.” ‘The construction generally placed upon the American note is that it conclusively demonstrates the view of the Washington government that the exclusion Iaw is a closed incl- dent and that no attempt to modify or alter its terms 1s to be expected. Secretary Hughes in the note which he prepared with utniost care, expresses pleasure over the “friend: lyness and candor” of the protest communication delivered to him by, Ambassador Hanihara May 31, “You may be assured of the read- iness of this government to consider in the same spirit the views you have set forth,” Mr. Hughes adds. The note. then analyzes the ex- clusion provision applicable to all aliens ineligible for citizenship as it is modified by the exceptions con- tained in the act and points out: “It will be observed that, taking these exceptionsginto account, the provision in aan does not differ greatly in {ts practical operation, or in the policy which it reflects, from the understanding embodied in the gentlemen's agreement under which the Japanese government has co- operated with the government of the United States in preventing the emi- gration of Japanese laborers to this country." . Appreciation of this cooperation in carrying out a “long established policy” is expressed and the com- munication adds: “Indeed, the appropriateness of that policy which has not evidenced any lack of esteem for the Japanese people, their character and achieve- ments, has. been confirmed rather than. questioned by the voluntary action cf youf government in aiding its execution.” The substantial difference between the ex@usion’ provisions and the gentlemen's agreement; the note continues; Hes in what President Coolidge ‘described in his statement at,the time he signed the immigra- tion bill, as the determination of con. n Tokio. It is cordial and ame time makes it clear that gress to exercise “its. prerogative in defining by legslation the control of immigration instead of leaving it to international arrangements.” “It is not understood that this pre- rogative is called in question; but rather, your government expressly recognizes that it Hes within the tn- herent sovereign power of each state to limit and control immigration. to its own domains, an authority which it is belicved the Japanese govern- ent has not failed to exercise in Its own discretion with respect to the admission of alicns and the condi- tions and Iocaticn of their settlement within ts. borders," Secretary, Hughes note continues. ‘ It is at this point that’the secre- tary, after nothing that the presi. dent “would have preferrefl to cor: tinue the existing arrangement” with Japan with euch modifications as seemed desirable, asserts: ‘This government does not, feeb, that it is lMmited to such an inter- national grrangement or that by vir- tue of the existing understanding (the gentlemen's agreement) or of the negotiations it has conducted in the past with the Japanese govern- ment, it has in any.sense lost or im- paired the full Mberty of action’ which it would otherwise have in this matter. On the contrary, that freedom with respect to the control of immigration, which is an essen- tial element of sovereignty and en- tirely compatible with the’ friendly sentiments which animate our inter- national relations, this government in. the course of these negotiations always fully reserved.” ‘The note then quotes the clause from Article II of the commercial treaty of 1894 with Japan which stipulated specifically the reserva- tion of the right to control “the im- migration of laborers” by law, It adds that when the new commercial treaty of 1911 was under negotiation this clause was eliminated at the instance of the Japanese govern- ment because cf the existence of the gentlemen's agreement of 107-08 by which Japan undertook, on her own motion, to restrict such emigration to the United States. Reference also is made to mem- oranda exchanged between the Jap- anese embassy and the state de- partment dated October 19,, 1910 and ° January 23, 1911, in which the atate department. acquiesced in the Jap anese suggestion for elimination of the.clause under discussion but with the stipulation that “the govern- ment of the nited States does so with al;l necessary reserves and without prejudice to the inherent sovereign right of either country to limit and control immigration to its own domains of possessions.” 8, 1911 the On replied! in a memdrandum bh stated that “tho iniperiat goyern-|_ es Ment concur in the und inj of the proposal relating to the ques- tion of immigration set forth in the above mentioned note of January 23 ast? ape Secretary Hughes’ note points out that his correspondence constituted a ‘“disinct understanding” between the two governments of the right of each to. control immigration and adds the advisability of dealing with the question by legislative enact- ment “necessarily rémaina within the legislative power of this govern- ment to determine,” a power which congress now has exercised. The note adviees the Japarlese government that since the exclusion provision takes effect July 1, 1924, the Washington government must consider the government of Japan o£ released from any further obliga- tion under the gentlemen's agree- ment as from that date. It concludes with the assertion that recognition of the right of each government to legislate in control of immigration “ghould not derogate in any degree from the mutual good will and cor- dial friendship which have always ‘characterized the’ relations of the two countries.” PAUL HUBER IS RETIRING FROM THE JEWELRY BUSINESS AND SELLING HIS ENTIRE STOCK AND FIXTURES AT AUCTION SALE TONIGHT—7:30 P.
