BILL IS SIGNED

- fixes Signature- to Immf-
. gration Bui After' Long
Consideration

exclusion if; alone
Coolidge Lauds Bill as
Whole; Emphasizes:
Friendship for Japarn
WASHINGTON, May . 2 De
ploring Its provision for- Japanese
exclusion bnt , heartily approving
' its main features, president Cool
idge today signed the immigra
tion bill.
Steps were taken Immediately
by the department of labor to pre-
, pare for administration of the lair,
which provides for t further r re
striction of immigration - after
June 30, when the existing quota
. law expires and for total exclusion
of Japanese- immigration after the
date. - " -; .
The Dresldent aTmrnvert the bill
reluctantly, issuing , a . statement
after he had affixed-his signature
In which he said he f egretted the
: impossibility of severing from the
measure the exclusion., provision
which he andSecretary Hughes
had 'opposed' strongly during: the
course of the ' legislation through
congress.
"There is scarcely any ground I6r
disagreement as , to the result- we
. want but this method oL securing
, it is unnecessary and deplorable
at this timei" the president said.
' "If the exclusion provision stood
alone, I should disapprove it wlth-
out hesitation,-Jf 'sought-ln 'this
; way at this time! "
The president pointed, out that
the bill put before him was a com
prehensive 'act . dealing" with the
whole subject of immigration and
setting up Improved, administra
tive machinery and also that-the
existing act automatically termin
tes after June 30,, ;
1 VI must therefore consider the
bill as a whole and the imperative
need of the country: for legislation
of this general character " he ad
ded. "For this reason the bill is
approved ,.. ' .
Occasion was taken by the presi
dent in his statement to declare
,.- that he recognized that the enact
" ment of the exclusion" provision
"does not imply any change in our
sentiment which has had and will
continue to have abundant mani
festation." -j
Proponents of i Japanese exclu
sion, in congress expressed gratifi
cation over the signature of the
bill by the president although they
had held that should the executive
veto the measure they 4:ouIdcom
mand sufficient strength to pass It
' over his veto. : ; . ,r;,,': j
Maaanao Ilanihara, the Japanese
ambassador whose note of April 11
, suggesting thai possibility;; of
- "grave consequences" it the exclu
sion section' was adopted had the
effect of making an issue of the
exclusion provision called" at the
state department after the presi
dent had signed the bill. ; The am
bassador was furnished with a
copy of the president's statement
j but at the Japanese embassy' it
was said he would have no state
ment "to make at this time..
The stepa taken by the labor de
partment to assure -effective ad
ministration of the new law when i
it goes into force July 1, included
the redrafting of regulations gov
erning national quetas. These
quotas under' the new act amount
to 2 per cent -of the number of
nationals of the respective nations
resident in the United States at
the time of "the 1890 census nd
will, result in a considerable re
striction of immigration over the
present law "as well '&a changing
the greatest-immigration inflow
from the countries of southern Eu
rope to ..the Nordic countries of
northern Europe. ...... j-

BAR LB DUC, France, May 26.
(By? the : AP.) The result: of
the recent French election: was due
to a! heterogeneous political coali
tion 'which cannot survive in pow
er and to the fantasies of an ob

final utterance as premier, M
Poincare asserted :,the new gov
ernment could not get away-from
the foreign policies which the out

two and a half years, and de
dared that; the new- government
majority would have to be' closely
watched but given fair play.

"RIGHT" SAYS JUSTICE
Decision Sustains Power of
States and Municipalities
to Prohibit
WASHINGTON, 'May '26 Muni
clpalltles are free to ' prohibit' the
sale' of intoxicating liquors upon
physicians prescriptions, - the su-
pretne court "ruled today.'
"In' an opinion by Justice Mc
Reynolds' it - stated that "neither
the 18th amendment nor the Vol
stead act grants the right to -sell
intoxicating liquor within a state
The opinion was handed down
in a. case brought from California
by , Merlin- W. - Hlxson; a - Los An-
geles druggist, to test an ordi4
nance of that city under which
druggists , are" prohibited from
furnishing more than half a pint
of Intoxicating liquor upon a phy-
sieians' prescription. Hlxson con
tended -that the Los Angeles ordi
nance was Invalid because! under
the 18th amendment as construed
by the 1 Volstead i law, t druggists
were authorized to deliver one
pint of intoxicating liquor upon a
physician's prescription. Any state
state law or . municipal ordinance
which would restrict 'this 'federal
right would, Hlxson asserted; de
prive him of" his constitutional
rights under, the 14th amendment
which guaranteed nil citizens equal
protection-, ofthe law; and pro-
tected them against being deprived
vi any ox tueir ngni witnour. aue
process of law.- .
Referrinrto the suggestion that
"congress, by the Volstead act.
granted? some right or; privilege
which is protected by the 14 th ami-
endment," and that such alright
"may not be' abridged by( state nor
municipality." Justice McReynolds
stated that "Hlxson had failed to
raise any substantial federal ques
tion." i v '
"Certainly nothing in' that (Vol
stead) act lends color," the court
declared, "to the suggestion that
it" endows pharmacists with the
right to dispense liquors."

for the Oregon troops to train in

White : when his original camp
schedules were smashed, and Ma
jor General : Morton,' commander

ruling that on account of the pre
