Senator Colt Who Opposed

fers atiWhite House
WASHINGTON, April 25. An
arrangement with respect to Jap
anese immigration which will satisfy-
those advocating exclusion,
and which, at the same time, will
avoid any affront to' Japan Is be
ing attempted by President Cool
idge a ue president is hopeful ' that
the arrangement can -be effected
with, that end In view will continue-
his conferences on im migra
tion legislation with congressional
leaders and Secretary Hughes.'
White House officials would not
go-so far as to say that the Presi
dent would' veto the Immigration
bill now in conference between
the senate and house', should the
proposed arrangement fail of ac
ceptance, but visitors to the
White House have found the exe
cutive greatly disturbed over the
situation resulting from adoption
by congress of the ' provision ' for
Japanese exclusion. v
- Colt iii Conference i
- Chairman - Colt of the senate
immigration committee, who was
one of sis senators who voted
against the immigration measure
conferred with the president today
and-laid before the executive his
reasons for viewing the exclusion
provision as unnecessary, illogical
and 'generally , harmful to Amri-'
can- late rests. .? - ' - -).
- Senator Colt later attended the
first- meeting of the senate and
house conferees on ' the measure,
but it was not disclosed whether
he carried to . the conferees ; any
suggestions from the president.
The conferees at today's meet
ing discussed, the bill in a general
way and proposed, to take up. the
various differences tomorrow. '
Equality Is Ple
Chairman Johnson of the, house
immigration committee In a. state
ment Issued tonight declared
that to place the Japanese nhder
the quota basis applied to. other
nationalities "would mean formal
abandonment " of this, nation's
established" policy to exclude
aliens ineligible to citizenship and
open 'the doors for a demand for
naturalization on their part."
V - "It would give the Japanese,"
he said, "a. privilege denied to all
other yellow and brown races, an
act of discrimination of which the
others. Including , Chinese and
Hlndoods, could pustly complain;
and if wives were admitted out
side the quota, now or in the fu
ture. It would open the .gates to
a flood of picture; brides for the

WASHINGTON, April 25. En
dorsement by President Coolidge
today of views expressed In - the
senate Tuesday hy Senator Borah,
Republican, Idaho, opposing large
governmental expenditures ' and
bonus legislation strengthened
many in , Washington in their be
lief that President Coolidge will
veto the soldier bonus bill.
The president, discussing with
visitors today his declaration in
his Associated Press address
against; "determined assaults by
organized minorities on the public
treasury" reiterated his frequently
made plea for economy and in that
connection called attention to Sen
ator Borah's address.
The Idaho senator criticized ad
ditions to the tax burdens of the
American people and, opposing the
bonus bill declared It was. the duty
of congress to start to curtail ex
penses even if congress had, to re
frain from doing, certain things
which it might be pleasant and
politically expedient to do.
Mr. Coolidge told his callers that
he regarded, the views of Senator
Borah, as outlined in his address
as fundamentally sound a.:d the
result cL logical coRClasiQnJ,iHe
made It plain that his, endowment
of Senator Borah's .declarations
was general and not applicable 'to
the senator's discussion of any par
ticular bill but his remarks were
interpreted by many of his callers
as meaning that he, stood with Mr.
Borah in opposition to the bonus.
The statement of the president's
views today was the nearest 4ap
prbach to a definition of his posi
tion on bonus legislation since his
Lincoln day address in New York
in which he declared his opposition
to a bonus as a matter of princi
ple, regardless of tbe form it might
take.
