Japan is one of many nations which under the present law has no quota. By the gentlemens agreement Japan agrees with us that she will not give a passport to any emigrant who is a laborer. It operates to cut down the number of persons that otherwise would be authorized to come in. If Japan were in the place of Mexico. for example. she might give passports to any number of her citizens who wanted to come. Japan Is in that position. but she has hampered herself by the gentlemens agreement in which she bound herself not to give passports to laborers.
