THE JAPANESE PROBLEM
MR. COOLIDGE'S COMPROMISE
WRATH AMONG WESTERN
SENATORS,
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.) [AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLB ASSOCIATION.) WASHINGTON, 30th April.
The report that President Coolidge is attempting to formulate a compromise on the question of the exclusion of the Japanese is generating opposition among Western Senators, who want tho measure to remain untouched. Senator Johuson said: "The British Dominions permit no Japanese to come over the gangplank ; but we hear nothing of Britain offending a proud and sensitive race. No Immigration Bill could be passed if it depended on whether it gave offence to Borne country. Amending the measure will result iia renewed and recurrent difficulties and controversies."
The President, t however, is continuing to rally support' for his plan, under which exclusion would'- not become effective until Ist July, and in the meantime the State Department could negotiate a. treaty with Japan under which the virus of actual'exclusion would be dissipated by the niceties of diplomatic language.
