POSITION QUITE FINAL
.(Received 20th June, 10 a.m.)
. WASHINGTON, 19th June. The American reply to Japan states at length tho position of. the. Government, but admits no question of the rights of Congress to take into its own hands the nation's sovereign power to control, immigration. Though cordial and friendly in tone, the reply, nevertheless, makes it clear that the United States has never assumed any obligations upon which the-exclusion provision trespasses._ Mr. Huglies points out that the Exclusion Law is a closed incident, and no attempt to modify its terms is to bo' expected. The. action is mandatory upon the Executive, and allows of no latitude for the exercise of Executive discretion as _to the carrying out of the legislative will. Considering the exceptions provided, the provision does not differ greatly in 'practical operation or in policy from the understanding in the "Gentlemen's Agreement."
