Move Proposed To Appease Japanese Doomed To Defeat
Washington May 9 The proposal by President Coolidge and Secretary Hughes to extend the Japanese exclusion date to March 1, 1925 appeared doomed. Indications show exclusion will stay set for July 1 next as planned by the new immigration bill. The House may accept the delay but Senate opposition is strong and party leaders expect rejection of the conference report. If rejected, the bill returns to conference and July 1 seems likely to be re adopted and ratified by both houses.
