JAPANESE EXCLUSION.
UNITED STATES POLICY. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) WASHINGTON, May 6.. Japanese exclusion, as provided by til© Immigration Bill, will become effective on .July 1 of this year undier an agreement reached by the Senate and the House conferences on the measure. Two per cent, of the census of 1890 has been agreed upon as the quota basis, and' is to continue, until July 1, 1927, when the so-called national origin method will be employed. The total admittances, however, are being restricted to 150,000 annually from that date. Persons born in the independent countries of the Western Hemisphere will be admissible upon" presentation of certificates, without reference to any quota. Canada is considered 1 an independent country within this provision. Indications are given by White House that the agreement to make Japanese exclusion effective on July 1 is unsatisfactory to President Coolidge.
