SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TTIE CAIX
WASHINGTON. March B.—
The President has been unable, on
account of the rush of busbess incident
to the close of Congress, to take up the
question of enforcing the Japanese ex
clusion amendment. Now that Con
gressional visitors are thinning out he
proposes to devote some time, .to the
subject. He will consult Secretary
Strauss and Commissioner Genera!
Sargent soon and arrangements will be
made for an investigation of Japanese
immigration questions in California. If
this report indicates that the influx of
Japanese from Hawaii is detrimental
to labor conditions on the coast the
President will put the exclusion amend
ment into effect v
While it is expected that the Jap
anese coining from Hawaii will be ex
cluded, there is no certainty of such an
outcome, as the matter is entirely in the
President's hands and he cannot be
called Ho account if he decides that the
Immigration shall not be checked.
It was intimated at the White House
today that the President through Sec
retary Hoot would sound the Japanese
government further before taking any
Btcps to enforce the emendment. -
In all the exchanges between this
Government and that of Japan, It has
been the aim of the President to assist
the Tokio government in putting the
best possible face upon the immigration
question. It is realized here that the
Japanese people are strongly opposed
to any restriction of their rights to
emigrate to the United States, and they
are backed up by the influence of the
emigration associations, which have
powerful Influence with the govern
ment.
Californians here who have kept
watch of the question do not believe the
President will take any steps which
\u25a0would be repugnant to Japan. The;'
think he would postpone the enforce
ment of the exclusion amendment for a
time If the Tokio government should
request such action, and in some quar
ters the belief is growing that Japan
has made such a request.
