ANTI-ASIATIC LAWS.
[Press Assn.— By Telegraph— Copyright.?
WASHING-f ON, Feb. 15.
Commissioner-General Caminetti, head of the Immigration Department, urged the House Immigration Committee to pass a strict Asiatic Exclusion BUI. Such immigration, he declared, was a menace to tlie whole of the United States. Japanese immigration had! doubled during the last five years, while there were 30,000 Hindus already m California. •Commissioner Caminetti's statement surprised the committee, owing to the President's recent request that antiJapanese attacks should he suspended pending the conclusion of a new treaty. Dr Sudhindr Bose, a University proI fessor holding the lowan chair, declares 1 that if the Hindus' exclusion is persist- ' ed m by the Western States the fiercest revolution lhe world has ever known is likely to be precipitated.
Professor Bose contends tliat Hindus, as Aryans, are entiteld to the same privileges accorded to other Aryans. As exclusion is necessary, the United States ought to make a general agreement with the Indian Government, thus avoiding a special law* humiliating to Hindus.
