On account of his great familiarity with the subject. I will continue to quote briefly. from the doctor. Referring to. his table. he says: The column. headed " Photograph brides " represents one of the most Interesting classes of Japanese immigration. although the term Is. strictly. speaking. a. misnomer. inasmuch as a photograph. although very. naturally often exchanged. is! in no way a necessary or ndispensable part of the arrangement. The term " proxy. brides." which is fiequently applied to the same class. Is. in so far as it implies the preserce.of.a third party. also. a misnomer. as. properly speaking. there are no proxy marriages in Japan. The agreement referred to between the American and Japanese Governments to stop the emigration� of laborers was made in 1908. and at that time a very considerable number of Japanese laborers were dbmiclled in this country. particularly upon the Pacific coast. Section 3T of. the law. already quoted. allows. domiciled aliens to bring their wives to join them. and these men very naturally take advantage of the privilege. I question the interpretation the doctor gives to section 37. which I will presently read.
