Senator Lodge himself revealed af- c the doors were reopened that he had already informed his colleagu of his intention to vote against the committee compromise as an answer to the Hanihara letter. Asserting that he would peat what he had said in session, Senator Lodge declared he always had been very friendly to the Jupanese people and had intended to do all in his power to make the legislation in the present bill as easy for them and for their feelings as possible “But. the question of immigration.” he added, “1s perhaps the greatest of fundamental, sovereign rights.

It is an un- doubted sovereign right and nothing I inator Moses of New Hampshire, a republican of the foreign relations committee, demanded to know why Semator Lodge repeatedly used the words “veiled threat.” “The Senator knows perfectly ““he eald, “that in the compo- sitign of diplomatic communications e two words ‘Erave comsequences’ are not veiled. They are well known in their duplication.’ . lofhey are just as well known,” r plied Senator Lodge, “as the phrase ‘the United States could not regard with indifference’ the violation of the Monroe doctrine. Everybody knows what ‘cannot regard with indiffer- ence’ means. Both phrases are the well recognized language of diplo- macy. The letter of the Japanese ambassador creates a situation which Mmakes it impossible for me to sup- port the pending commitiee amend- ment. “This amendment has now assumed the dignity of a precedent, and I never will consent to estabiish any precedent which will give any nation the right to think that they can stop by threat or by compliment the ac- tion of the United States when it de- termines who shall come within its zates and become Part of its citizen- Ship. That is a decision which be- longs to the United States alone, and from that? decision there can be no appeal.” Senator Reed of ed like sentiments. The letter of the Japanese am- bassador,” he said, “puts the unpleas- ant burden upon us of deciding whether we will permit our legisla- tion to be controlled by apprehen- sions of ‘grave consequences’ with other nations if we do not follow a particular line of legislative conduct. I, for one, feel compelled, on account of that veiled threat, if it may be called that, to vote in_ faver of ex- clusion and against the committee amendment. “I say that with deep regret, be- cause I believe that this action, which is forced upon us, means the waste of twenty years of excellent diplo- macy, means the waste of the fortu- nate, happy results that followed the ratification of the fotr-power treaty in the Pacific, and it means throwing away the good relations, or a large part of them, that followed the prompt and friendly action of Ameri- ca after the Japanese earthquake of last year. Regarded Letter as Threat. Senator Swanson of Virginia, rank- ing democrat on the foreign rela- tions committee, declared he regarded the ambassador's letter as a threat, and said the United States had gone a long way to insure friendly rela- tions with Japan, even to the point of dismantling its fleet, which would have given it naval supremacy ia the acific, From that point the debate became general, with half a dozen senators joining in. After the vote on the “genilemen’s agreement” Semator Reed gave notice that he would offer the exclusion amendment today, and then presented an amendmnut which would fix the basic quotas of fmmi- gration on the “origin of nationali- ties” after July 1, 1926, Under this rovision, he said, immigration would restricted to 150,000 a A Senator Harrison of Misslssippi, of- fered a substitute to make the quotas 2 per cent gn the census of 1890, as in the House bill, with a provision that the Secretartes’ of Commerce and Labor complle estimates as to admi: sions on the “origin of nationalities.

The same piea was made when Christ drove the hucksters from the temple at Jerusalem. The same plea was made by the image-makers at Antioch when Paul preached against idolatry; and now we have it here in behalf of the Falls and the Daughertys and the Doheneys. Apply the doctrine of this message and letter, and the Senate of the United States stands con- victed while Fall goes free. Apply the philosophy of the President and his Secretary, and the Senate stands con- victed while Sinclair enjoys undisputed possession of Teapot Dome.” Declaring the country had been falsely told that the revenue bill and important measures have been “ob- structed” by the Senate inquiries, Senator Glass, himself a former Sec- retary of the Treasury, asserted that the Mellon tax plan has not the re- motest chance of being enacted by the present Congress. In view of that fact, he said, republican mem- bers of the finance committee are “causing _ unnecessary lay and courting defeat” of tax reduction by rejecting the House compromise plan. It was the House republicans, the senator said, Who wers largely ro- sponsible for “tearing the Mellon plan toshreds” Its submittal to the Senate, he predicted, would lead only to “unprofitable debate.” Boys Admit Setting Fire.

Donovan declared today in a state- ment explaining the proposed bill to broaden the powers of the city heads. The contemplated legislation has been drafted by a committee of Dis- trict officials at the suggestion of members of the Senate District eom- mittee. The Commissioners are awalt- ing the views of civic organizations before approving the measure and sending it to Congress, In addition to giving the city fa- thers uthority to name the above mentioncd officials, the bill contains Sixteen other sections empowering the Commissioners to pass on mu- nicipab questions which now require action by Congress. Donovan sets forth as an added reason for centralizing municipal | control in_ the Commissioners that they are charged with the responsi- bility of compiling the annual esti- mates of all city offices, including the courts and schools, and they also are onsible for the expenditure of y after it is appropriated. auditor then takes up and ex- plains one by one the remairing six- teen sections of the bill.

The Japanese nation appeals to America seriously to consider the sitoation at this critical juncture. We appeal in a spirit of fairness, justice and hu- manity to provjde a fairer and more Zentiemanly immigration solution than the Johnson bill." ‘Ambassador Hanihara's warning of “grave consequences’ was fully jus- tified in the opinion of Nichi Nichi, which stated the Holse's action “con- firms our doubts of the sincerity of ideals America professes to have re- garding liberty and equality. We may, however. still hope sounder American opinion will be asserted to prevent the exclusion clause from be- coming a law.” DENY NEW INSTRUCTIONS.
