JAPANESE EXCLUSION
LAW TO OPERATE ON JULY 1. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE NOT SATISFIED. Received Mav 7, 8.30 p.m. WASHINGTON, May 6. Japanese exclusion, as provided in the Immigration Bill, will become effective on July .1 this year. Under an agreement reached by the Senate and the House conferees on the measure, two per cent, of the census of 1890 was agreed upon as the quota basis, to 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 independent countries of the Western Hemisphere will be admissible upon the 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.
