I still contend that the favorednation clause as expressed in the Japanese treaty of 1911 gives no such right of free immigration. the Senate having modified it to cover that point. and there is a misunderstanding concerning the significance and scope of the favorednation clause in this respect in the mind of the Senator. It does not convey to one nation all the rights to its nationals possessed by another nation. It is limited and confined to the subject matter of the treaty in which it is contained. and the Japanese treaty. by attached memoranda. protects us and removes possible misunderstanding.
