The American reply to the test against the exclusion provision of the Immigration act was made pub lic nere tonight by the state depart- -nient: simultaneously with its publi cation through the foreign office in i-okio.

'-it -is cordial and friendly- in tone, but at the same time makes it clear that the exclusion provision in no way trespasses upon any written or implied obligation- on the part of the United The construction generally placed upon the American note is It conclusively demonstrates the view of the Washington government that the exclusion law is a closed incident and that no attempt to modify or alter ita terms is to oe expected. Peastd at Candor Secretary Hughes, in the note, ex presses' -pleasure over the "friendll--ness and candor" of the protest communication delivered to him by Ambassador Hanihara May 31. "lou may be assured of the readiness' of this government to consider in the' same spirit tlie views you have set forth," Mr, Hughes adds. The note then analyzes the exclusion provision applicable to all aliens Ineligible for citizenship as it is modified by the exceptions contained in the act and points out! will be observed that, taking these exceptions Into account the provision in question does not differ greatly in its practical operation, or In the -policy, which it -retleotH, from? the understanding -embodied in-: the gentlemen's agreement under which the Japanese government -has cooperated with tlie government of the United States in preventing the emigration of Japanese laborers, to this country." 'vCongress Exercises C'ontrol Tbe substantial, difference between the exclusion provisions and the gentlemen's agreement, the note con- tinues, lies In what President Coolidge described in his statement at the time he signed the immigration bill as the determination of Congress to exercise "its prerogative In defining by legis- -la tion the control, of ''immigration instead of leaving it to international The secretary, after" noting that the president would have preferred to continue the existing arrangement," with. Japan with such modifications as seemed government does, rnit fee! that it is- limited to such an International arrangement or that by virtue of the understanding (the gentle- men's agreement) 'or of the negotia- tions it has conducted in the past with -the-, Japanese government, if has in any sense lost ok impaired the full liberty of action which it would otherwise have in this matter, On the contrary, that freedom with respect to the -control of Immigration, which is an essential element of sovereignty and entirely with the friendly sentiments which animate our inter- national relation, this government in the course of these negotiations always fully reserved." Outlines Ineligibility Clause 1 Addressed to "His Excellency, Mr.

Mananao Hanihara, Japanese Am- bassador," the communication ac- knowledges receipt of a memorandum stating the position of the Japanese government with respect to the pro- vision of section 13 (C) of the immigration act of 1924, and. sets, forth briefly the substance of the provision as related to all aliens 'ineligible to citizenship. "I take pleasure in noting your ref- erence to the friendliness uim- muuur in which your communication has been made and you may be assured of the readiness of this government to consider in tlie same spirit the views you have set says the American note. i the time of the signing of the immigration, bill the president a statement, a -copy of which I had -the privilege of handing to ynu, gladly recognizing the fact that the enactment of this provision does not imply any change in our sentiment of admiration- and cordial friendship for the Japanese people, a sentiment which has had and will continue to have abundant manifestation." 1 i Defines Status of Aliens Those not immigrants are defined as (1) government official, family, at- tendants. servants, and employes, aliens visiting the United States as tourists or on business; aliens in con- -tinuoua transit through thiB country; aliens lawfully admitted through for-.
