WASHINGTON, May 16. -Quick,
almost perfunctory acceptance in
both chambers was forecast for the
conference report on the Immigra
tion bill today prior to its final con
sideration by tbe house, after which
the senate will be called upon to act.
Including the clause fixing July 1.
this year, as the effective date of
the Japanese exclusion provision
which President Coolidge once prey
vailed to conferees to postpone to
March 31, 1925, is expected to
reach the White House before the
end of the present week.
Informed by congressional lead
ers tbat both the senate and house
are certain to pass the bill as it
stands. President Coolidge Is giving
thought to the action be will take on
the measure when it reaches Jhe
White House.
Tbe president was said today to
have reached no decision on the
Question.
Indications are. however, tbat he
is giving thought to these three
courses of sctton:
Signature of the bill without any
statement or declaration;
Signature of the bill with an ac
companying statement ezpreaslng
disapproval of tbe provision In sucn
a manner as to mollify offended
Japanese sensibilities.
Return of the bill to congress
without a signature and with a mes
sage 'declaring tbe executive's ap
proval of all provisions of the meas
ure with the exception of the exclu
sion art section.
Indications were given by some of
those close to the president tbat the
last two courses are being given the
most thought.
The expiration of the present Im
migration act June 30 and the ap
proaching adjournment or congress
are tbe complicating factors.
WASHINGTON. May 15. Reports
of the unusual movement of Japan'
ese from Pacific port with a view
to hasty marriage and return since
approval last month by the bouse
of tbe new exclusion policy, hsve re
suited In many queries as to the el
Igibllity of non-Immigrants to admis
sion after temporary absence.
Tbe following ruling was made to
day by experts who assisted in
drswlng up the bill.
The bill provides for the admis
sion, as a non-qunta Immigrant, of
an alien previously lawfully admit
ted to the United States who la re
turning from a temporary visit
abroad.
Bueb an alien is expressly exempt-

ed under the provision of the ex
clusions clause.
It follows that Japanese desir
ing to re-enter tbe United States af
ter a temporary sojourn In his native
land or elsewhere, is admissible If
be was lawfully admitted when he
first entered this country and If his
visit or sojourn abroad has "boen
temporary" within the meaning of
the law. The bureau or immigra
tion and the department ef labor
have construed the word "tempor
ary" as meaning a period of time
of six months or less.
TOKIO, May 15. Speaking at a
gathering of Japanese opposition
leaders and prominent American
residents, including newspaper cor
respondents, Cyrus E. Woods, the
American ambassador said:
"Tbe Immigration bill is not what
you want and not what I want. I
know tbat your government has
done all that it properly could to
prevent this situation: you know
that President Coolidge and Secre
tary of State Hughes bave done on
our sldo to prevent the situation.
Woods stressed the Importance of
peace and the Pacific, ocean and de
clared that all at present shared that
responsibility.
