ISE PROBLEM
S DIFFICULT ONE
How to'Exclude' Laborers and
Admit OthersIs the
Question.
TRADE RETALIATION FECT
Secretary Taffs Declaration Indi
cates Thaf President Intends to
Kclleve Chinese Merchants '
, From Humiliation. 7M
How to keep Chinese laborers out of trio
United States, yet to admit Chinese -mer
chants, students, travelers, teachers and
other Intelligent subjects of the Celestial
Empire, is a problem before the Ameri
can Government, for on account of the
harsh operation of the exclusion law, Chi
nese are about to shut out trade from this
country, thus to retaliate on venders of
American goods, for humiliation of their
countrymen.
In consequence, diplomacy between
China and America has been strained for
several months, and American traders aro
oecomlng alarmed. The uneasiness is felt
in Portland commercial circles as much,
as anywhere, on the Pacific Coast. Ex
porters of wheat, flour and lumber are
raising a clamor for better .treatment at
high-grade Chinese.
Aim of exclusion Law.
The policy of exclusion has become so
firmly rpoted in American public senti
ment that few or no residents of Portland
expect to see It displaced, but there is. a
widespread demand for amendment of the
law so as to make access to this cenmtry
easy for Intelligent,. Chinese, especially of
the commercial classes, and yet "not let
down the bars against coolie hordes.
This is the aim of the exclusion law as
it stands, but on account, of the. system of
enforcement" and the numerous frauds at
tempted by Chinese laborers to gain en
trance under the guise of merchants.
high-grade Chinese are subjected to de
tention at the ports of entry, humiliating-
examinations, and sometimes arbitrary
and. Insulting treatment at the hands of
Immigration inspectors.
The exclusion laws enacted since 18S3
have been "re-enacted, extended and con
tinued, without modification, limitation or
condition," by an act of Congress of April
27,-1904, and by the same act those laws
were applied to the "island territory un
der the jurisdiction of the United States."
Those laws prohibit Chinese immigration
from such territory to the mainland of
the United States. Exclusion from the ,
Hawaiian and the Philippine Islands has
incensed- the Chinese against Americans
still more.
Chinese Diplomats Busy.
Chinese diplomats have sought for bet
ter treatment of their countrymen through
treaty negotiation, all to no avail. Last
December they suffered to lapse a treaty,
which had been In force ten years, which
provided ihat "the coming of Chinese
laborers to the United States shall be ab
solutely prohibited,"-except that "the pro
visions of this convention shall not affect
the right, at present enjoyed, of Chinese
subjects, being officials, teachers, stu
dents, merchants or travelers for curios
ity or pleasure, but not laborers, of com
ing to the United States and residing
therein." Thl3 treaty the Chinese government re
fused to renew, for the alleged reason
that Its terms were not lived tip to in the
exclusion laws and the immigration policy
of the United States. By a treaty with
China of 1SS0. the United States Govern
ment may "regulate, limit or suspend"
the coming or residence of Chinese labor
ers, "but may not absolutely prohibit it";
however, the wards last quoted have been
amended by various exclusion laws, there
by adding to the Indignation of the Chi
nese government, for it Is held by that
government that the exclusion laws, since,
expiration of the treaty of 1894. are In con
travention of other treaty stipulations.
conspicuously tho stipulations in the
treaty of 1SS0, whereby the United States
States Is bound" not to "absolutely pro
hibit" Immigration of Chinese laborers.
Coolie Labor Question.
The Chinese government does not object
to America's exclusion of coolie laborers;
In fact. In 1SD4. that government made a
treaty with thla country conceding their
exclusion. But 'because the United States
has rigorously enforced exclusion and Chi
nese merchants ' have been subected to
severe treatment on.fcccount of the frauds
practiced by their humble-countrymen, to
defeat the exclusion laws, the Chinese are
Incensed.
Eresldent Roosevelt is in favor of an
amendment of the exclusion law, for the
benefit of high-class Chinese, and Secre
tary of War Taft last Thursday denounc
ed the operation of the law In strong
terms, and declared that the Pacific
Coast wqs prejudiced on the subject and
was making unreasonable demands. Mr.
Taft proclaimed that "Justice and cour
tesy" should be extended "to a people)
from whom we are deriving "and are like
ly to derive such Immense benefit In
the way of International trade." The
Secretary said further:
"Is it just that for the purpose of ex
cluding or. preventing perhaps 100 Chinese
coolies from dipping into this country
against the law, we should subject an
equal number of Chinese merchants and
students of high character to an examin
ation of such an . Inquisitorial, humiliat
ing; Insulting, and physically uncomfort
able character as to discourage altogeth
er the coming of merchants and stu
dents?" Asiatic Association Acts.
Last week, the matter was taken befors
the President by the American Asiatic As
sociation, representing the cotton textile
and the Iron and steel trade of the United
States. The association protested against
such enforcement of the exclusion law as
might hazard American trade In China.
In Its protest the Association said:
"The. treatment accorded by the immi
gration officers of this Government to the
exempt classes of Chinese visiting- our
country is more oppressive than either
the letter or the spirit of the law require.
Moreover, the plainest principles of in
ternal conditions demand that the law
shall be made more liberal, either by
amendment or the negotiation of a , new
treaty or by both."
President Roosevelt promised to tak
the matter under consideration. andto do
all he could to remedy the difficulty. Th
