GOES MAY ASK [I’m Forced to Sign Jap Bill, Coolidge Says (EDITORIAL) HE Pacific coast breathed easier Monday. For Japanese exclusion is law. It became such when President Coolidge signed the immigration bill today. The Star and others on the west coast who know the danger of Japanese encroachment and who for years have been fighting the growing peril rejoice in the fact that Mr, Coolidge, with his Eastern view- point, at last has seen the’ light. The president, ‘tis true, announced that if the Jap exclusion bill stood alone he would veto it, but that he was forced to sign it because of the need for the remainder of the immigration bill. That alleviated the pain considerably to the friends of the Japs, with whom Coolidge had been playing. But the fact remains that Jap exclusion was by far the most vital factor in the immigration bill. The president signed the bill. He knew what he was signing. And he knew why he was signing it. 6 ee WASHINGTON, May 26.—President Coolidge issued ® Statement today explaining his: a¢tion in signing the immigration bill, saying that, however much he regretted the Japanese exclusion clause, “I must con- sider the bill as a whole and the imperative need of the country for legislation of a general character. “In signing this bill, which in ite main features I heartily approve, I regret the impossibility of severing from it the exclusion provision, which, in the light of existing law, affected especially the Japanese. “If the exclusion provision stood alone I should dis approve of it without hesitation. * * * But the bill is a comprehensive measure dealing with the whole subject of immigration and setting up the necessary administrative machinery. The quota act of 1921 will terminate June 80, next. It is of great import- ance that a comprehensive measure should take its place and that the arrangements for its administra- tion should be provided at once in order to avoid hard- ship and confusion. Mr. Coolidge took congress to task for insisting on the form of the exclusion provision over his objec- tions, declaring this method of securing it is “unneces- sary and deplorable at this time.” To have permitted the government to have negoti- ated for exclusion by treaty, he said, “would not have derogated from the authority of congr to deal with the question in any exigency requiring its action.” Ad Club to Entertain Pentz Family and the Goat atTuesday Lunch Linden B.

President Coolidge today signed the immigration bill, providing for exclusion of Jap- anese, effective July 1. The bill thus becomes law. In addition to the Japanese exclusion clause, the provis- ions of the measure includ Quotas of all countries are the foreign population in this census. After July 1, 192 mmigra fixed at 2 per cent, based on country, according to the 1890 tion will be limited to 150,000. each country getting a quota in this figure, according to the national origins of the for: States as shown by the 1920 census. To prevent congestion and other difficulties at American ports, con. sulate officers abroad may not Is-| sue vises to more than 10 per cent of a country’s quota in any month. Alien seamen on vessels touching | t American ports may not land, ex t for medical treatment. JAPAN PROTESTS Wives and children of American citizens and citizens of Canada and all western hemiaphere republics are | exempted from the quota provisions. | | Japan, thru her envoy here, Am: bassador Hanthara, first protested last winter against the measure act- ed upon today by the president. Hanthara sent a communication to Secretary of State Hughes protesting against the bill, then pending in con. gress. This never was made public, however. Later, Hughes sent a letter to co! gress giving the state departmen’ views on different phrases of the ill, ‘The letter contained strong ob- Jections to the Japanese exclusion provision, but Hughes’ protest was l ignored by congress. When the bill came up for action in congress, the Japanese ambasea dor his famous note warning that tment of the proposed law | would result in ‘‘grave consequen- ces” to the relations between the United States and Japan Hughes was somewhat shocked at jthis statement in Hanihdra’s note, but upon analysis he concluded that jit contained no real threat to the | United States. He sent the note to sent ly valuable in that Hanihara forth the terms of the secret gentle. |men’s agreement under which Japa- |nese immigration virtually has been excluded for years and announced his | covernment's willingness to revise this agreement in accordance with | | the desires of the United States. THARA NOTE ATION The note had anything but a bene- ficial effect, however, causing a sensation, Several senators an- nounced that altho they had in- tended to support the administra- tion's opposition to the bill, they would vote for the measure be: }cause of Hanihara's warning. This development resulted in the passage| of the bill by the senate, the meas- jure already having been adopted in jthe hous | When the bill went to conference, | |President Coolidge exerted pressure lin private negotiations with congres- |sional leaders to have the exclusion lclause modified. He proposed that ‘the effective date for exclusion be | postponed until March 1, 1926, and |that a provision be inserted to the jeffect that the exclusion clause |would not apply to nationals of Ithose countries with which the |United States negotiated treaties covering immigration. ‘The plan was to provide enough |time for Secretary Hughes to nego- late a treaty with Japan carrying lthe principle of exclusion and based | on the gentlemen's agreement, This would have been a concession for Japan as the position of that coun- Jtry in trying to avoid a law on im- migration was to prevent the stigma of legislative exclusion.

We also expect man! arrest cases, where individuals will |be picked up and held for deporta- tion, “As a matter of fact,” he added, “we don't know yet just where we |are or what changes in personnel or |arrangements will be made after | July 1, when the bill goes into effect. | There are certain apparent conflicts |to arise out of the new law as com- | pared with the former -regulations, and we must, wait for an interpreta- tion by our department heads before making future plans.” Weedin added that no changes were being contemplated here for the pres: ent. and he could give no approxi- mate changes in quotas thru the Se- tle immigration station, except |that he belfeved business would be greater. | Citizens Comune on Coolidge Action Miller Freeman, editor Pacific Fisherman, said: “The signing of the immigration bill marks the cul- |mination of a long fight and defines |definitely a policy, proper on the |part of this country, that it discriminates against the Japanese are untrue, if¥hat the law jaffects approximately one-half of the population of the world—all | Orientals, “I would sound a further note of warning to Japanese now in this country to see that the obeyed and that they be not led astray by past propaganda of their press and other sources. They can jnot use the United States to build @ colony or become a racial factor jin this country. “Now I would like to see the federal goyernment prosecute the Mitsui company on charges of tak- ing millions of dollars out of the treasury during the war. “Thanks are due The Star as the only daily paper in Seattle which consistently pushed the mat- ter and allowed “freedom of speech’? jin its columns, by which all thi facts were known, It has bee! |the policy of The Star to allow \frank and open discussion of th problem. Thus the facts of ag jgression were brought out clearly, instead of suppressing them, as the jopposition has done, Without) the aid of The Star our task would have been much greater.” City Councilman Phil Tindall, com: menting on the signing of the immi- gration bill, sat “President Coolidge should becom: mended for signing the oxclusion act. Ho wa under trenvendous pressure to veto the act. 4 T believe he came to learn that it would be fatal to start negotia- tions for a treaty, Japan had a number of questions, such as land ownership, citizenship, ete. that she wished to bring out by treaty, “American business interosts that sought to develop, China and Man. churla, and the churches, which jwould sacrifice the Pacific coast to give thoir missionaries a few oon. verts, opposed the exclusian aat,!"
