But. Mr. Chairman. although it should be held that time third clatuse of Article I of the Japanese treaty of .1894 is in direct colllict wvith the school lawyof California. which I can not for t momnent admit. still. sir. it is clear to me that the fourth pa ragraph of Article 1I provides that no stipulation in the treaty shall affect the police and publicsecurity regulations of any State. lile paragraph to which I refer reads as follows it is. however. iunderstood that the stipultions Coniained in this a nil the irecedihg article (o not in any wiy affect tile laws. ordinamnles. and regultions witi regard to all immigration of latborers. tie potice andI lie secully. wlch iare it force. or which mally hereafter be eliacted i eileli of tile two eollntrIes. It is therefore clear that those who drafted the treaty were carefill to avoid an apparent clash ietween the trelty power ltmd the plice plower reserved to the States. it is within the police power. therefore. of every State not only to establish public schools. but to govern theis by reasonable rules and regulations and provide for a sel)aration of both sexes and rices. Such regulations are clearly iil the interest of the peace. iealth. and safety of the connunity and State.
