I want to get your attention to the wordsAnd no alien now in any way excluded from or prevented from entering the United States shall be admitted to the United States. We have a treaty with Japan and a "gentlemens agreement." so called. with Japan. It is a part of that "gentlemans agreement" that the Government of Japan will not permit certain classes of Japanese to emigrate to the United States. That is a condition of exclusion carried out through the Japanese Government. but it is nevertheless a condition of exclusion. Now. I want the Senators to know the fact before they vote. that the Japanese ambassador has already called the attention of our State Department informally to the language of the bill which I have read.
