Japan is bound by a solemn treaty with the United States that is still in force. and that will be placed on file with the league. to recognize our exclusion laws. I will say for Japan that with the most scrupulous care she has constantly lived up to the contract. The bugaboo of Japanese immigration is one of those false fronts that are brought in here to array prejudice against the league of nations. We have been told that if we should agree to the league proposal for the limitation of armaments we would interfere with the power of Congress and impair the sovereignty of the country. Nothing is more ridiculous.
