PROTEST RECEIVED
RIGHT NOT QUESTIONED. WESTERN STATES’ CHARGES. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received January 27, 11.50 p.m.) WASHINGTON, January 26. The United States has received a Japanese protest against the proposed Immigration Law now pending before Congress barring all Japanese immigration to America, and over-riding the 60-called “gentlemen’s agreement,” the purpose of which was to avoid touching the susceptibilities of Japanese people by openly declaring Japanese immigrants persona grata. The Western Coast States, however, charge the Japanese with not abiding by the “gentlemen’s agreement,” since the number of Japanese is growing. The protest does not question the United States’ right to pass such legislation, hut asks whether the United States wishes to discriminate against a friendly country.
