Americas foreign policy is determined by treaties ratified by the Senate and not by mutual understandings of our Secretary of State and the secretary of foreign affairs of some other country. The time has come for America to let nations understand that her foreign policies are policies fixed under the Constitution and not by change of Cabinets and change of foreign ministers. If they have the power to make these understandings. and all understandings of that character are to exclude Immigration. then they have the power to make additional understandings and exclude immigration under thekn. because it ratifies it as a statute. I think nothing is being given to or taken from Japan that should cause any selfrespecting. proud nation to feel that it is being discriminated against. If the contention of Japan is right. if the contention of the Senator from Utah is right. then the understanding could never be modified by an act of Congress.
