There was some complaint that. after we had entered into this agreement with Japan. laborers. citizens of that country. were being sent across to the Philippine Islands and from the Philippine Islands to continental United States. but. so far as I am informed. Japan is keeping religiously her passport agreement with the United States. We provide in this bill that the exclusion act. unless otherwise provided for by treaty. shall obtain in the territory over which we have jurisdiction. We are attempting to keep faith with Japan under our agreement In view of the fact that it is alleged that Japan Is keeping faith on her part.
