NO ADMITTANCE.
FOR JAPANESE AFTER JULY. PLAN AGREED ON. (Press Association —Copyright.) (Received 7.25 p.m.) Washington, May 6.—The Japanese exclusion as provided in the Immigration Bill will become effective on July 1 this year. Under an agreement reached by the Senate and House Conferences 2 per cent of the census of 1890 is agreed upon as the quota, this basis to continue until July 1, 1927, when the socalled “national method will be employed, the total admittances, however, being restricted to 150,000 annually. From that date persons born in independent countries of the Western Hemisphere will be admissible upon presentation of certificates, without reference to any quota. Canady is considered an independent country within this provision. Indications are given by White House that the agreement to make the exclusion effective on July 1 is unsatisfactory to President Coolidge.— (A. and N.Z.)
