I think a very serious fact. It will take a moment to state it so that: the Senator will understand what I am referring to. Under our treaty with Japan the Japanese Government has contended that its citizens have the right to come to the United States without restriction. that opposition in this country was developing to Japanese immigration. So much was that the case that legislation was being attempted in certain of the Western States. Thereupon our State Department brought about what is known as the gentlemens agreement. by which the Japanese Government assumes the duty of excluding all but a linited class of its people from the privilege of coming to the United States.
