JAPANESE EXCLUSION
TO BECOME EFFECTIVE THE PRESIDENT DISSATISFIED IMMIGRATION QUOTAS. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) WASHINGTON, May 6. (Received May 7, 10.0 p.m.) The exclusion of the Japanese as provided in the Immigration Bill, will become effective on July 1 this year unless an agreement to alter it is reached by the Senate and House in conference on the measure.
Two per certt. of the census of 1890 has been agreed upon as the quota basis and will continue until July 1, 1927 when the so-called “National origin method” will be employed, the total admittances, however, 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 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.
