DISCUSSION INi SENATE.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COFIEIGHT.) (AUSTKALUN-NBW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) -I (Received 11th April, 11 k.m.) ■ WASHINGTON, 9th April. Senator Hiram Johnson, of California, opened the Senate's discussion on the Immigration Bill, by 54, declaring that the so-called "gentlemen's agreement" between the United States and Japan was never really operative. - He asserted that the Japanese population in the United States was steadily increasing. "When I left Sacramento (California) 25' years ago, very few Japanese lived there, but returning several years ago I found a grejit colony of Japanese," he said. He expressed the opinion that this constituted a growing menace, which no informal agreement could allay, and-he urged the Senate to accept the Sortridge amendment, totally excluding Japanese immigrants.
