JAPANESE EXCLUSION
TO BECOME EFFECTIVE ON JULY 1 (Roc. May 7, 7.25 p.m.) Washington, May 6. _ Japanese exclusion, as provided in the Immigration Bill, will become effective on July J this year, under an agreement reached by the Senate ana House of Representatives conferences on the measure. Two per cent, of the census of 1890 was agreed upon as the quota basis, to continue until July 1, 1927, when tho so-called national origin method will be employed, the total admittances, however, being restricted to 150,000 annually from that date. Persons born in independent countries of the Western Hemisphere will be admissible upon presentation of certificates without reference to any quota. Canada is considered an independent country within this provision. Indications were given by White House that the agreement to make Japanese exclusion effective on Jluly 1 was unsatisfactory to President Coolidge.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
