Mr. President. if the Senator from California will allow me. the amendment has been re. ported on exactly the grounds that we have enumerated. the Japanese nation is in tile same category as certain other nations. To be perfectly explicit. we have in force the Chinese exclusion act and a treaty safeguarding its provisions. I presume the conditions under which the socalled "gentlemens agreement" was brought about are more or less known to all the Members of the Senate. The Japanese Government insisted that it would keep its agreement and insisted also that we did not have. a specific treaty in reference to them at the time when wd entered into the agreement.
