They desired us not to make any allusion to tie. gentlemens agreement. We have made none. We do not change the gentlemens agreement in any way. We leave it standing exactly as it is. and we cast no reflection on any race. nor do we make any discrimination. The gentlemens agreement applies only to labor. All other classes are specifically excepted in the immigration lawall those who appear enumerated in the treaty. It applies only to labor. and the provision shutting out all aliens now excluded is simply carrying out existing provisions. The gentlemens agreement will go right on if Japan chooses to uphold it.
